OVERVIEW:Ý ÝThe sidebar in the left-hand column of this document serves as a complete index to each of the Chapters and Topics addressed in the Teaching Learning Machine.

1. PRINT MEDIA

1.      These documents you are viewing are written in a Microsoft Word format.

2.      These documents are accessible from withinÝ Xerox's DocuShare and from within the Social Studies Place website as PDF files

2) WEB VERSION

1.      The current web location of the Teaching Learning Machine is identified by a separately supplied ReadMe.txt file entitled, "Web Location of TLM".txt.

2.      The Web Version contains multi-media content to enhance the communication value of the TLM.

(3) ORGANIZATION ISSUES

1.       The TLM documents are stored according to a logical decimal system reflected in the Index     (see left-hand sidebar ).

2.       Rather than being one, all-inclusive docmument, the content is presented as a set of separately titled documents ÖÖreflecting exactly the index structure and nomenclature in the left-hand sidebar.

3.       This labeling is consistent in the print (Microsoft Word) version, in the Docushare version, and in the web-based PDF version.

4.       This procudure has been followed so as to deliver content that is immediately responsive to the reader's needs and interest.Ý It allows for selective retrieval and step-by step reading.

 

(4) HYPERSTUDIO

1.Ý Most of the "best practices" and models in the TLM exist in a HyperStudio format.

2. Whenever you encounter HyperStudio content ( on the Web or on CD), you will beÝ supplied with HyperStudio play or browser plugins.

3. IMPORTANT:Ý The thinking and communiction patterns required to create with HyperStudio match almost identically the processes essential to Constructivist , problem- based, and inquiry teaching.
