Margaret Riel has developed and researched models of Network Learningspecifically "Cross-Classroom Collaboration" and "electronic travel" designs. Her concept "Learning Circles" became the model of an international service called the AT&T Learning network and are now featured on the International Education And Resource Network (I*EARN). She has contributed to the design and evaluation of the Passport to Knowledge project which uses a combination of live television, electronic networking of scientists to students, online resources and in class materials to involve students in the collaborative process of scientific discovery.
Riel has written extensively on the use of interactive technology in schools particularly in language arts and social science. She has also written the curriculum guides for six theme based "Learning Circles" and was one of the authors of the Live from Antarctica" Teacher's Guide. Her research and analysis of issues in "Network Learning" have been published in national and international journals.
Riel is Conference Co-chair for the '96 Telecommunications and Educational Conference (TEL*ED 96) which will be held at two link sites, Tampa, Florida and Monterry, Mexico. She is actively looking for people who want to help build electronic bridges between these sites and to other places.
