CBSS for Handhelds
 

The Computer-Based Study Strategies (CBSS) for Handhelds Project presents strategies and materials for assisting middle and high school students with disabilities to use handheld computers as assistive devices for studying. The project builds on more than ten years of comparable computer-based success that aids students with a variety of disabilities to learn how computer technology can support academic tasks that require reading, writing, and studying, as well as inquiry-based learning and critical thinking.

A wiki has been developed for the Computer-Based Study Strategies (CBSS) Handhelds Project. It carries the complete set of information and products generated to date -- including the CBSS Handhelds "one pagers" and the "easy lessons." All are compatible with the Palm operating system.

CBSS Online
  Computer-Based Study Strategies are some very powerful ways of using the computer to complete everyday school tasks such as reading, writing, taking notes, studying for tests and learning by representing concepts "visually." CBSS Online is a three-year research project investigating the impact of an online course in CBSS designed specifically for high school students with learning disabilities.

Themes in American History Project
  Themes in American History: Promoting Authentic Inquiry into Our Common Heritage is a professional development program in collaboration with the Douglas County ESD in Roseburg, Oregon. Instructional strategies embedded in project activities will serve as models in which teachers don't just learn about history, but actually learn to do history. The project will also model strategies for using technology to gather and synthesize historical information, share insights and work collaboratively with collegues.

Thematic Analysis Through Historical Inquiry
  The High Desert ESD in Bend has collaborated to provide professional development for teachers, grades 3-12, in acquiring both knowledge and innovating ideas related to teaching and learning of American History. Similar in structure and content with the earlier project in Roseburg, it is anticipated that these methods, techniques, and outcomes will serve as a model for professional development, and for the study of American history in America's schools.

Project WRITE
  Writing Revitalization through Integrated Technology and Enrichment is a project of CES in collaboration with the Oregon Writing Project to provide high quality professional development on technology-supported writing instruction to middle school teachers. Its purpose is to
  1. Increase teacher knowledge and skill related to writing instruction
  2. Increase the integration of writing instruction across the curriculum
  3. Increase the use of technology to support the teaching and learning of writing
  4. Increase the sense of community and collective participation in the school’s writing program
  5. Improve student performance related to Oregon’s state standards in writing (Grades 6-8.)
