2. Teaching and Learning and Internet2  Fantasy or Reality?  Do we know how to use I-2 for teaching?  Is I-2 ready for folks to use for teaching?  Are our campuses ready to support our faculty to use I-2 for teaching?

3. Instructional Need  What is the learning objective? Will it enhance learning or provide information?  What’s the teaching issue?  Who is the target audience?  How to best approach the problem? How do we “learn”?

4. Learning Diagram Bloom’s Taxonomy

5. Examples of Using Internet2  Introductory course on weather and climate, large lecture format To expose students to how scientists view the world and the excitement of science  Lab Section To teach students how to read weather maps and make forecasts

6. Another Example  Weather for Pilots (A distance learning course) My primary goal is to support pilots/student pilots who want to increase weather knowledge

7. Internet2 Application  Practice and Feedback Example lesson using VISITView Example lesson using VIS-5d

8. “Blues Legacies” class at Luther’s Blues club  A teaching issue To expose the students to the blues as an art form through its legacies  A learning issue Faculty development and support  A campus relations issue To integrate a new blues club into the campus community without a lot of student drinking

9. The Internet2 Stage

10. Faculty Development - Believe It Or Not

11. Faculty Development Ground zero to: “At some point, I would welcome a chance to speak with you about how I might go about establishing an internal African- American music website to link to all of my classes. The class website seems limiting, as I understand it, since it is meant to target a particular class; I’d like to establish something at some point that interlinks all the classes I teach. But that for another day…”

12. Designing an I2 Component  Have a goal What is the learning objective? Are the resources available? Who is the target audience? How does it address the learning diagram?  Plan it out

13. Can We Do More of This?  In Wisconsin, we are still taking back roads to the highway.  To do the Blues class with our Chicago guest, we need to make special arrangements to have the connections and bandwidth we need.

14.  We have work to do before we can really take advantage of I-2 for teaching in a seamless manner.  Our connections to the NAP in Chicago need significant upgrading (in process).  We need to review our campus network standards and assure that building networks can manage the traffic.

15.  We need to know that our colleagues at the other end are coming from good connections.  We need to manage our network end to end.  It’s this QOS stuff.  And it costs money.
