Instructions to Authors and Editors
Here is a rough outline for a Pioneer page. As you create or add to this page, please make appropriate use of main headings (surrounded by one = on each side) sub headings (surrounded by == on each side) and, if you feel it to be appropriate, sub sub headings (surrounded by === on each side).
Note that if a page has already been created for a person, but little has been added to the page, then probably a few section titles have been entered to get the page started. As the page is fleshed out, this set of directions can be deleted.
1. General demographic types of information such as birth date and place, education, employment, and so on.
2. Setting the scene. This might go all the way back to the pioneer's childhood. Try to capture the essence of how the world was before the pioneer began to do his or her pioneering work. Pay particular attention to the levels of Information and Communication Technology, and their use in education, at the time.
3. Major pioneering efforts and contributions. Try to capture the essence of the pioneer's legacy contributions to the field of ICT in education. Be factual. Provide references if possible.
4. Up close and personal stories about the pioneer. These can be contributed by many different authors. Try to flesh out the pioneer as a person and his or her contributions as part of the overall human endeavor of developing the field of ICT in education.
5. Autobiographic materials written by the pioneer in the past and/or written especially for this IAE-pedia document.
6. Interview. If the pioneer is not deceased, try to gather interview information via face to face meeting, phone, or email. Here are three sample interview questions:
- Q. Looking back over your pioneering activities, which do you feel best about? What is your legacy?
- Q. Drawing upon your years of experience and accumulated wisdom, what do you think are some of the very best ways to improve our current informal and formal educational systems?
- Q. What else do you want to say to today's students, teachers, parents, and other people?
7. References. This includes references to sources of information about the pioneer as well as references to some of the published works or and other activities of the Pioneer.
8. Author or Authors. You are encouraged to include your name as the initial author of the document.
9. Finally, at the very bottom of the page you are creating, on a line all by itself and in double square brackets, enter the text: Category: Pioneer
