Internet Resource Directory, Part 2:

Interactive Access (Telnet) Sites of Interest to Educators

version 1:  July 7, 1992

The information in this file is the result of Internet "prospecting" and 
teamwork by 24 eastern Nebraska teachers who were enrolled in a graduate 
telecomputing-in-education course during the Spring 1992 semester at the 
University of Nebraska at Omaha.  Much of their work for the course 
entailed exploring different Internet resource sites, then writing, 
fieldtesting, and revising friendly documentation describing online 
resources that they felt to be of value to K-12 teachers and/or students.

Below please find information on several Telnet sites.  **This is NOT 
meant to be an exhaustive list of all of the sites of use to K-12 educators**. 
Rather, it is a beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing collaborative 
effort among telecomputing educators on a larger scale.  We invite you to 
use this, share it with other teachers, amend it, append to it, and update it.
We hope that the information that it contains will be useful to you.

1991 (approximately 208507 records)

You can search for items using one or more keywords from a variety of fields 
such as title, author or subject descriptors. I used the term "staff development" 
for a search and found over 5000 items listed. You may receive an abstract of 
each listing if you wish, but not the complete article. 

FRIENDLY ADVICE: 
I would definitely recommend using ERIC. The directions are easy to follow.  It is 
simple to login, search and exit. Directions are always given at the bottom of the 
screen.  A fee is usually charged for doing ERIC searches in university libraries. 
Doing your own searches will save time and money. Graduate students in the 
College of Education will find ERIC helpful for doing research in education.

SAMPLE LOGIN:   The following is an excerpt from the Science and 
Technology section...

            ABOUT THE SIMULATED SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH

   This simulated space shuttle launch is a telecommunication simulation 
designed to assist school students in learning more about the space sciences 
and about telecommunications.

   At the core of the launch is a permanent full-scale mock-up of a space shuttle 
(called the "Centennial") complete with "Mission Control," which is located at 
University School in Shaker Heights, Ohio (Cleveland area).  During this 
particular launch student "astronauts" will enter the mock-up and fly a very 
detailed and quite realistic 10 hour mission.  For example, Centennial 
astronauts during this mission have been selected by NASA to talk directly via 
amateur radio with real astronauts in orbit flying shuttle mission STS-37.

   Other schools around the country and the world will be taking various roles in 
this simulated mission.  This includes schools in California and Finland who will 
be alternate landing sites (weather stations), and an Ohio school which will be 
serving as a solar disturbance observatory.

Shown 53%, press <SPACE> for more, 'q' to quit, or 'h' for help                                                                                   

Coordination and communications between the shuttle's mission control and 
the other schools is conducted through the Cleveland Free-Net.  Electronic mail 
is sent back and forth, hourly reports are posted, even real-time electronic 
"chats" occur between mission control and its support units.

Of even greater importance, however, each "mission" becomes the culmination 
of weeks of educational build-up.  Classes in science, mathematics, even 
English and reading are geared to the forth- coming "launch."  Students 
construct their own weather instruments and other equipment, acquire computer 
skills, and sharpen organizational skills to help them fulfil their part in each 
mission.

   The contact person for this (April 9th) launch is Bob Morgan 
(ac343@cleveland.freenet.edu)

   The next launch will be a one school-day simulation on May 17th The contact 
person is Linda Delzeit (aa621@cleveland.freenet.edu) 
End of File, Press RETURN to quit                                                                                

FINAL NOTES ABOUT THE CLEVELAND FREENET:

This Telnet site is definitely one of the easiest to log on to, one of the easiest to 
use, and one of themost comprehensive in terms of a variety of information 
available.  So it is a great telnet site for the rookie on the Internet as well as a 
great resource for the veteran user.

the documentation that way.  Also "q" and "u" didn't work to leave this site.

I was finally able to use <space bar> to return to first directory.  In this
site is a special mail feature that will allow you to mail the complete
document to anyone using their bitnet address (It did take a very long time
to locate addressee).

LOGIN SEQUENCE:	At the login prompt, type 	  ned         and you are in.

DESCRIPTION: 	At present NED contains extensive CROSS-
IDENTIFICATIONS for about 150,000  extragalactic objects -- galaxies, quasars, 
infrared and radio sources.  NED  provides  POSITIONS,  NAMES, and BASIC 
DATA (e.g. MAGNITUDES, TYPES,  and  REDSHIFTS),  as  well  as:

     BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES:
         (a) provided by SIMBAD for 1983 to 1989
         (b) derived by NED for major journals beginning in January 1990

     ABSTRACTS: collected by NED from major journals since 1988

     NOTES: from major catalogs such as the RC1, MCG, Hubble Atlas, etc.

Searches can be made BY NAME, AROUND A POSITION, and BY IAU 
SHORTHAND.

This interface assumes that you have a VT100 terminal, or VT100 emulation.

EXIT SEQUENCE: 	
^X (control X ) will always END THE SESSION and DISCONNECT the user.

ACCESS COMMANDS:	No commands needed;  every menu gives complete 
directions.   The following commands are consistent throughout all menus (even 
when not shown).  (  ^  is the control key  )

^E always EXECUTES THE TASK defined by the input on the current screen.   
^B always moves back to the PREVIOUS MENU when in a Menu.                
^B always CANCELS ALL INPUT when IN A SCREEN WHICH REQUIRES            
     DATA ENTRY. Thus typing ^B twice will cancel input and back up one menu.                                             
^H always provides concise HELP on the current screen of the interface.   
^L always REDRAWS (or refreshes) the current screen.                     
^R always RETURNS the session back to the TOP LEVEL MENU.                
^X will always END THE SESSION and DISCONNECT the user.

LOGIN SEQUENCE:
                COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS:  Dial in access to ISAAC requires you 
                to have an IBM PS/2 or PC, a modem, and communications 
                software.  Configure your communications software to emulate 
                a VT100 terminal.  I had trouble using the Internet Access, 
                so if you are not able to read the entire screen upon enter-
                ing ISAAC or if you are unable to use your arrow keys to 
                select a topic, I suggest you access ISAAC directly by 
                dialing 1-800-237-5551 (if inside the local Seattle area or 
                outside the United States, call:  1-206-543-3761)

                NOTE:  You must be a subscriber to use ISAAC.  You cannot 
                be a guest.  Therefore, once you are connected to ISAAC, you 
                will be asked to register as a subscriber.  To do this, type 
                "register" in lower case as your access code.  Once you have 
                registered, you will be sent an access code and password by 
                mail in a few days.  Always remember to type your access 
                code and password in lower case!

DESCRIPTION:
                  ISAAC provides information for IBM users about software 
                and hardware for instruction and research in higher educa-
                tion.  ISAAC is funded by IBM and operates at the University 
                of Washington.  Access is free to all faculty, staff, and 
                students currently affiliated with an institution of higher 
                education.  It is possible to access ISAAC via modem or via 
                the Internet computer network.

EXIT SEQUENCE:	          	q = Quit
                			Q = Logout

ACCESS COMMANDS:  Single letter commands are used to perform 
                all functions in ISAAC.  Most are lower case, however, some 
                are upper case or require the CTRL (control) key to be 
                pressed in combination with a letter.  Some useful commands 
                are as follows:

                ? = Displays Help
                c = Displays list of commands
                m = Make an entry
                r = Reply to an entry
                e = Edit and update entry
                d = Delete an entry
                s = Save an entry
                S = Send entry to net ID
                z = Search forum
                i = Display information about databases
                + = Select database
                q = Quit
                Q = Logout

                USING THE HOT KEYS
                ------------------
                ISAAC's "hot keys" are those command keys used to move you quickly 
	    from one service to another.  The capital letters F, D, U, and I will take 	  
	    you from the current screen to the Forums, Databases, Utilities, or 	 
	    About ISAAC immediately.  The capital Q is enables you to end your 
                current ISAAC session from most screens.  Using these hot 
                keys to move through ISAAC will minimize the amount of time 
                spent moving through the layers of the system.

 SERVICES:  	ISAAC offers four basic services:  Forums, 
                Databases, Utilities, and About ISAAC.  Each of these serv-
                ices may be selected from the ISAAC Main Menu.

                1)  FORUMS (Press "F") - The forums are ISAAC's "bulletin 
                board", or discussion area where users exchange information.  
                ISAAC's forums contain both general interest and academic 
                discipline topics.  These forums are places where IBM users 
                share ideas and ask questions about computer use in higher 
                education.  There is also a forum (Ask ISAAC) where you can 
                place entries related to your use of ISAAC.

                2)  DATABASES (Press "D") - The databases contain reference 
                information for users to browse and download.  ISAAC's 
                databases contain reference information pertaining to com-
                puter use for instruction and research.  This information 
                includes items such as software descriptions, software 
                reviews, and project descriptions.  The Database List shows 
                you the names of each database on ISAAC.  When you choose 
                Databases, you will see the following list:

                ----------------------------------------------------------
                 I S A A C  -  D a t a b a s e   L i s t                                       
                ----------------------------------------------------------
                Select database(s) to search by moving the cursor to a 
                desired database and pressing '+'.  After choosing data-
                bases, press <Enter> to search.

                3)  UTILITIES (Press "U") - The Utilities section contains 
                ISAAC's system and user services.  ISAAC's Utilities are a 
                selection of system tools intended to enhance and simplify

      Cyberion City Transporter Receiving Station
      The bright outlines of the Cyberion City Transporter Station slowly
      come into focus.  You have beamed up here from one of the Earth
      Transporter Stations.  You are among the adventurous and moderately
      wealthy few who have decided to visit Cyberion City, the largest
      space city in the solar system.
      Contents:
      Attendant
      Spark
      Obvious exits:
      Information<INF>  
      Tours<T>  
      Out

      <type> INF
      The information officer looks at you and says, "Hello there, Guest1!"
      and directs your attention to the large black screen at the front of
      his desk.  Words are forming there...

      Welcome to Cyberion City II. I have several paragraphs of information
      for you.  At the end of each paragraph you may type the number of the
      next paragraph to go on.  At any time, tou may reread an old paragraph
      by typing that number instead, or you may type 'Out' to leave this room.
      Now type '1' to go on--.

      Read all the information.

GETTING AROUND:
      The city is divided into 12 circular sections, numbered 0 to 11.
      Each section  is divided into 8 pie wedges, or Arcs, numbered 0 to 7.
      If you were to go'out' of Information into the lobby and then'out'
      again you would be outside in an area labaled <Sec 0 -Arc 7>.  When
      you are outside you can use the four primary directions to move around
      the city: Port<P>, Star<B>oard, <S>pin, and <A>ntispin.  <P> takes
      you one section closer to Sec 0 while <B> takes you one section closer
      to Sec 11.  <S>pin takes you around a section towards a higher numbered
      Arc while <A>ntispin moves you towards a lower numbered Arc.

      The Main Transportation Spine (MTS) runs the length of the city and
      is located between Arc 0 and 7.  In several of the Sections a directory
      can be viewed by typing 'look directory' while in the MTS.

FEATURES TO EXPLORE:
       Apart from the role-playing fun, the real areas of interest for
       teachers is Section 1.  Find this by choosing the 'out' exit until
       you are given the Starboard exit option. Type 'b' and you should be
       in section one.  Using the 's' or 'a' commands move yourself to the
       MTS where you can view the Sec 1 directory.  Explore Sec 1 by
       selecting the given exit options and 'look'ing at the items in the
       rooms and buildings you enter.  
Points of interest are: Section 1...
       Arc 2- Science Center -Puzzles, Mathematica
       Arc 7- University Annex- Mathematical Puzzles

HINTS:
       If you lose track of where you are type 'out'.  You will be told
       where you are and be given exit options.  Sometimes the system is
       slow-- just repeat your command.  Finally,  the permanent characters
       are very helpful.  Ask anyone on-line for help.

Only negative is the (goto) command did not allow access to data, because

DOCUMENT AUTHOR:	Joan Miller

LOGIN PROCEDURE:

	3) At the TERM= (network): type> VT100

DESCRIPTION:
	SERIVCES is an excellent Telnet site which provides access to nearly 
every other telnet site imaginable. Access to the sites can be gained by menu 
selection without reconnecting through the telnet prompt. This eliminates the 
need to know hundreds of other site addresses since they can all be accessed 
through this single site.  In addition to allowing menu access to these sites, it 
also provides their telnet addresses if the user wishes to disconnect from the 
SERIVCES site and reconnect directly to the site of their choice.  The main 
menu provides the  choice of nine different areas.  The selections available are:

			1)  About Washington University Services
			2)  Washington University Services
			3)  United States Libraries
			4)  Foreign Libraries
			5)  Government Libraries and Public Accessible Databases 
			6)  Campus Wide Information Systems
			7)  All Services
			8)  Recent Additions
			9)  Weather Forecast for US/Canada

	Each of the choices 2-9 contain additional menus of 4-154 other sites 
that are available.  Below, I have written a brief summary of what can be found 
under each of the choices from 2-9.  The educational possibilites for this site are 
virtually unlimited since it provides access to 'everthing under the sun.'
	
Choice 2, Washington University Services provides which consists of four 
choices of computing facilities at Washington University.  The four facilities that 
can be accessed are Olin Library, the Medical Library and the two main frame 
computers.  Only the two libraries can be accessed by a telnet user.  After 
gaining access to the libraries, on screen directions need to be followed.  The 
main frame computers require accounts on the system, and cannot be accessed 
without a password.
	
Choice 3, United States Libraries provides a menu that includes the fifty states.  
After choosing a state by menu number, a new menu will list the college and 
university libraries that are accessible.  Choosing a specific library, will connect 
the user to that library.  From this point the user must follow the directions that 
are specific to that particular site. 	

Choice 4 is very similar to choice 3 except the main menu provides a choice of 
seven foreign countries. The countries that are connected to the site are 
Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United 
Kingdom.   After choosing a country by menu number, a new menu will list the 
college and university libraries that are accessible.  Choosing a specific library, 
will connect the user to that library.  From this point the user must follow the 
directions that are specific to that particular site. Most of the countries only allow 
access to two or three libraries.  The foreign sites that I looked at all provided 
directions and listings in English. 	

Choice 5, Government Libraries and Public Accessible Databases provides the
