WebQuest creator Bernie Dodge answers those questions and more.

Probably best known as the creator of the WebQuest model for technology integration, Dodge is also the author of a number of educational software packages for children and technology tools for educators. This week, Dodge shares with Education World readers his thoughts about WebQuests -- and about the future of educational technology.

Dr. Violet Harada Working as a librarian and as an administrator in lower education and then as a teacher and researcher in a university graduate program, I developed a fresh appreciation for both worlds. Through the years, I have maintained close ties with field practitioners and always strived to involve them in the research and scholarship of our profession. By challenging myself to place ideas in larger contexts, I have also shared the excitement of my own learning with both students and colleagues and invited them to join me in a free exchange of ideas. My goals continue to be: Preparing our LIS candidates to be dynamic school librarians in 21st century schools; and Promoting learning in P-20 settings that guide young learners to be responsible, critical, and caring thinkers, consumers of information, and creators of knowledge and ideas. Current Research Interests Intervention and assessment strategies in teaching information searching process. Areas of Special Competence Works
The Library Voice (Shannon MIller) The Adventures of Library Girl Benjamin Bloom Benjamin Bloom (February 21, 1913 - September 13, 1999) was an American educational psychologist who made significant contributions to the classification of educational objectives and the theory of mastery learning. His research, which showed that educational settings and home environments can foster human potential, transformed education. Bloom developed a "taxonomy of educational objectives" which classified the different learning objectives and skills that educators set for students. Bloom divided educational objectives into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive. Bloom also carried out significant research on mastery learning, showing that it is not innate giftedness that allows one to succeed, but rather hard work. Life Benjamin S. As a youth, Bloom had an insatiable curiosity about the world. Bloom was especially devoted to his family (his wife, Sophie, and two sons), and his nieces and nephews. Benjamin Bloom died Monday, Sept. 13, 1999 in his home in Chicago.
