Rush, George
Learning Tomorrow. Journal of the Apple Education Advisory Council, n4 p37-72 Win 1988
Information services offered by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) include "Chieffile," an electronic mail system, and "CHIEFLINE," a semiweekly news bulletin board. Chieffile provides information on federal legislation which is updated weekly, technology-related activities, a clearinghouse for information on state responses to the recommendations contained in "A Nation at Risk," a database listing school/college collaboration programs, a bulletin board for participants in the Educational Resource Exchange Program, and a Community Education Bulletin Board. A review of system usage suggested that 90% of the states check the contents of Chieffile at least once a month, 68% check it twice a week, and nearly 36% check it almost daily. CCSSO is also exploring the possibility of developing an international computer conferencing capability in cooperation with counterpart organizations in all parts of the world. Examples of the types of information available from the network are included. (EW)
