10-19-94 Eisenhower Math/Science Open House

                         NEWS ADVISORY:
      NEW RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHERS

     The Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and
Science Education at The Ohio State University will celebrate the
start of its new national program -- an online information
service designed specifically for K-12 teachers.

     The event, with demonstrations of the new computer-based
service, will be held 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday (10/25) at 1929
Kenny Road.  Science kits and other teaching aids collected by
the center also will be displayed.  University President E.
Gordon Gee will visit the clearinghouse about 10:15 a.m. to take
part in a demonstration of the new service.

     The focus of the event is the unveiling of the ENC Catalog
of Curriculum Resources, a comprehensive, multimedia collection
of instructional materials and programs from federal agencies and
other sources intended to promote excellence in science and
mathematics teaching and learning.

     The new catalog will permit teachers and educators to search
through an electronic treasure-trove of materials available from
federal agencies, commercial publishers, non-profit organizations
and individual educators.  Since the catalog is available through
the Internet, teachers can dial in to its collection from their
classrooms or homes, simplifying their efforts to improve their
teaching.

     Reporters wishing to cover this event should contact Tom
Gadsden at (614) 292-3330 or Peg Hanley at (614) 292-9984 at the
Eisenhower National Clearinghouse.
