and Culture Online
[Aaron Mersberg & Gayla Traylor - Kamehameha Schools]
Is it possible for 'Olelo Hawai'i, along with its

How can we, as educators, best prepare our students to be effective
communicators in the realm of 21st Century technology and continue
to keep their identities as Hawaiians? As a group of educators of
Hawaiian children, we will explore this issue by looking into Hawai'i's
culture, language, and art. We will also take a look at technology,
online communication, and virtual learning.

Telecollaborative
Revisions: Promoting the Evolution of a Professional Code of Ethics
[R.W. Burniske - University of Hawaii]
Why must a professional Code of Ethics continually
evolve? What might we learn from placing a Code of Ethics in an online
environment that enables its telecollaborative revision? How might
an online, interactive version of a Code support teaching and learning?
What kinds of recommendations might students and teachers make for
revision of the Code¹s terminology, cultural orientation and
use of contemporary issues?
This session will reveal how the presenter turned
the Code of Ethics, created by the Association for Educational Communications
and Technology (AECT), into a living document. By inviting students
to participate in a telecollaborative process he enabled them to critique
individual articles of the Code, identifying places where the Code
needs clarification or the support of case studies that illustrate
the ethical concerns that accompany the use of educational technology.
 For
more than two decades, R.W. Burniske has pioneered
methods for the integration of educational technology, serving as a
humanities teacher at international schools in Egypt, Ecuador, and Malaysia;
a writing instructor in the Computer Writing and Research Lab at the
University of Texas; and the Director of Professional Development of
the World Links for Development program, sponsored by the World Bank
Institute. While drawing upon his experience as both a classroom practitioner
and researcher, Dr. Burniske¹s work has taken him to Africa, Asia,
the Middle East and South America to help educators in developing countries
learn how to adapt information and communications technology to meet
the needs of diverse students and curricula.
Dr.
Burniske is the author of Literacy in the Cyberage: Composing Ourselves
Online, a practical guide for teachers that introduces innovative
classroom practices and argues for more robust forms of literacy (Corwin,
2001); he is also the co-author of Breaking Down the Digital Walls:
Learning to Teach in a Post-Modem World, which describes the challenges
of telecollaborative learning from the perspective of classroom teachers
(State University of New York Press, 2001).
Dr.
Burniske currently serves as an Associate Professor in the College
of Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
