Abstract
This paper discusses the role that information technologies are playing and will continue to play in the area of education. This paper explains the ways that these forms of mass media are being applied in education to make it a more accessible, more effective, and more efficient. The paper illustrates that these forms of media hold a great deal of potential, and will become more and more important to education. The paper describes how multimedia teaching strategies allow for people to become educated and trained, who in the past would not have been given such an opportunity.

From the Paper
"The first mass media form that will be examined for its impact on education will be the Internet. Atkinson College at York University now offers a flexible program that people can take to get their university degree. A person does not even need to go to the actual university at all - they can take all of their classes over the Internet, as well as submit their assignments and exams over E-mail. Other universities are doing similar things, and the result is the appearance of a new educational institution - the electronic university. The electronic classroom is not restricted to one place, but can be accessed from anywhere. People don't need to leave their homes or stop working in order to get a degree. Atkinson College encourages people who think that they are unable to attend university to try and take classes with them."

Abstract
This paper has two purposes, the first provides a collection of otherwise scattered archaeological resource material for secondary education providers and secondly, it considers wider issues inherent in the New South Wales history curricula. The first section of this paper contains archaeological resources for secondary education and includes material from North America, United Kingdom and Australia. While the survey is not definitive, it is designed to highlight current trends in printed matter, visual media and the internet as rapidly evolving resource theatres.
Secondly, the paper provides an overview of the relevant stages and structure of history as presented to Australian secondary students. Description, explanation and illustration of the 'continuum of learning' will assist those uninitiated in educational jargon, and hopefully provide an appreciation of the overall course content. Finally, the paper reviews archaeology as taught in Australian secondary schools.

From the Paper
"For those considering a teaching career, and possessing an archaeological background or skills, a great deal of scope exists within the syllabus for the inclusion of archaeology. A career in teaching HSIE will require a three years bachelor degree plus either a Diploma of Education (Secondary), or a four year Bachelor of Education, or a four/five year combined degree, such as Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary). Strictly speaking, archaeology is not included in the range of subjects taught in HSIE as listed by the NSW Teachers Association (2003). However, teachers are, 'encouraged to use their special interests and talents to contribute to a wide range of school activities'. Nevertheless, and whilst the course bears the title, Ancient History, a significant body of relevant information comes directly from an archaeological approach, and the archaeological record. "

Abstract
In recent years employee orientation programs have taken on a position of importance in most successful organizations. Video tapes, CD-ROMs and Intranet based employee orientation programs are widely being used to provide new employees with the information they need to have for quick productivity and low turnover. Outlined below are the 20 of the most important things employees want to know when starting a new job, along with other critical elements of an interactive, electronic based new employee orientation program. All of the information provided will facilitate the orientation of new employees. It will be shown that presenting information in CD-ROM format has several advantages.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the classrooms of the past, present and future and looks at how technology has changed the way lessons are taught. The paper describes the technology that is now available in elementary schools today, focusing primarily on the CD-ROM, and explains what educational value it possesses for the classroom.

From the Paper
"A picture of a typical classroom from yesterday might have shown desks all in rows with the teacher at the front of the class using the chalkboard to diagram a sentence. All "learning" included textbooks, notebook paper, and papers which were turned into be graded by the teacher. Assignments were done independently while the teacher worked at her neat desk or walked around the room to insure silence. Information for research projects came from printed material such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, or a vertical file. Tests were given at the end of the chapter to measure what had been learned. Grade cards were single sheets with letters such as A, B, and C. The principal's office was not the place to be, and parents only came to school to pick up their child."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first notes that China has adopted the study of the English language as one of its methods to reach international competitiveness and it now mandates English language instruction in its elementary school education system. This paper involves a business plan that presents SnapShot English which is a business intended to capitalize on the growth of the English language in China. The writer explains that this system operates via the introduction of CD-ROM and Internet based games that facilitate learning the English language outside of a classroom environment.

From the Paper
"China has the largest population in the world at roughly 1.3 billion individuals. Its population density is approximately 130 per square kilometer. The majority of this population is concentrated along the eastern and southern coast and in cities running parallel further in land. This area contains one of China's largest urban centers: Guangzhou. Additionally, there are numerous cities and metropolises inland such as Tianjing that have a population in excess of 2,000,000 people. Though large tracts of China remain underdeveloped these population dense areas possess a fairly stable technological infrastructure with an outwardly focused population; especially Guangzhou because of its proximity to Hong Kong."

Abstract
This paper reports that the "Information Age" exhibit has on display hundreds of items spanning the 150-year length of the "Information Age". The author points out that, from the telegraph to the portable computer and digital CD ROM, these devices have helped shape the world around us and have given us access to a whole new way of life. The paper states that the exhibit contains additional facts, including the fact that the first computers were sold as kits for which consumers had to make their own case because many marketers believed the personal computer was not a salable product.

From the Paper
"In addition to the telegraph, a basic cable, called the Atlantic cable of 1858, is also on display. Being to forefather to the coaxial cable that would later transform information across the globe, this cable was not well designed, and only stayed operable for a few days. However, later cables would spread the information world across the ocean for the first time, promoting intercontinental communications. In addition, the "Information Age" exhibit includes a telephone display, showing the history of the telephone as the world knows it today. Beginning with Alexander Graham Bell's early telephone equipment, including pictures of his early experimental phones, and spanning to the commercial phone of 1877 and the first telephones with a dial, this display shows the evolution of both the phone its self, and the equipment created to handle the calls."

Abstract
The purpose of this report is to show how computer journalism will be more of an asset to journalism and society. It looks at how computer journalism is better than other news sources, will create more jobs, will affect the community, and will affect entertainment such as sports and movies. The discussion is constructed as follows: journalism in the present & the future, computer journalism in the present, newspapers that are already using computer journalism, how databases help stories become more efficient, why CD-ROM is a needed tool, the future, how computer journalism increases opportunity and creates new jobs and reaches the community, effects on entertainment, and advertising.

From the Paper
"Newspapers have always been efficient in delivering the news but have faced set-backs that leave the public unsatisfied. Surveys show that "only 38 percent of the public rely on the newspaper.., while 72 percent point to television for news" (Dennis 677). Editors realize the need for drastic change and have already adopted new ways to deliver the news more efficiently. For example, databases are now "recognized as a tool, if not a staple" (Webb 1) for good journalism. CD-ROMS (On-line databases) are also being used frequently by Newspapers; because of the dramatic drop-off in the price for ROMS, from $10,000 to $4,000 in the last decade, the media has been quick to take advantage. These two new resources hope to push back the newspaper on top of the news industry."

Abstract
This paper defines e-training, or e-learning, as the delivery of information by means of electronic media by making use of various techniques such as the Internet, intranet, extranet, Ethernet, teleconferencing or audio conferencing, video conferencing, cable networks, broadcast by satellites, interactive television, and CD-ROM. Furthermore, e-training also can be defined as an extension in learning by means of technological networks, which are designed to deliver and administer information. The author, after an extensive review of research methodology, selects a quantitative data collection instrument, a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. The paper relates that, in spite of the fact that e-training is renowned in the world as the best tool for training organizational employees in a very short span of time with much less cost than incurred before, the employees in this study are skeptical about e-training's overall effectiveness.

From the Paper
"According to a report from a discussion forum, up till 2000 Chinese firms could not even think of e-training or online training or education. While 2001 statistics reveal that e-learning has gained the prominence of being at one of the top thirty priorities with the Chinese firms. As such it is given that in the corporate world, majority of the development and market growth is attributed to the adoption of e-learning in the wake of the importance shown by other multinational companies operating in China. It is also reported that there are many medium sized Chinese companies that has adapted e-learning practices as a way to improve and as such this improvement is leading towards the growth in the market in the coming years in areas like telecommunication, banking, and finance."
