I would like to add to Mike's comments that we have all been pleased by the
quality of the discussions, the number of active participants AND by the
number of lurkers (as best we can judge). For myself I have come to have a
much better feel for the group as a whole and for the various concerns and
interests of the PIs. In the case of those PIs who support a course of
action different from the one I would choose my level of understanding for
their point of view has increased and I find myself more supportive of the
different approaches rather than less. In short I think the more people at
NSF know about this discussion the better it will be for all of us. Having
said that I want to stress that we at TERC are determined to keep TEECH a
tool for the PIs and not allow it to become something NSF uses in ways that
the PIs do not support. We need your input on any matter of concern to you
about the way TEECH data is used. There are of course technical limitations
on what we can protect. In the final analysis if it is in your computer
somebody who really wants to can read it.

I didn't realize that my request for a listing of responses would cause
such excitement. Here is some explanation of my e-mail yesterday fro
information from TERC on who is using TEECH.
Like other program officers, I read the TEECH mail each day. I have found
the discussions fascinating and have learned quite a bit about the many
strategies that project staff members use to involve, assess, and sustain
interest among their participants. Whenever the conversation has been on a
topic of particular interest to a program officer, such as physics or
assessment, I have directed the program officer's attention to the
conversation. However, at this point I want to show all ESIE program
officers just how active the PIs have been and the thoughtfulness of the
discussion that are being sustained over the Internet. Ultimately, these
tools help all of us to engage in dialogs, support and carry out better
Teacher Enhancement projects.
