听力原文：Nicole: You've become widely known in the teaching community for your fabulous collaborative Internet projects, several of which have won Miss Rumphius awards. How did you get started？

Susan: I had been a classroom teacher since 1970, mostly second grade. And I was very, very much into multicultural education. I did a lot of travelling, and I really enjoyed bringing things back from my travels and creating units around them; it made it more interesting for the children. When the Internet came, it was just a natural progression for me. It gave me the opportunity to really open the classroom walls, bring the world into the room, and collaborate with the global community.

Nicole: Were you always comfortable working with computers？

Susan: As of about 5 years ago, I was a computer phobic. If you think about the story of Sleeping Beauty, where she wanted every spindle destroyed... I wanted every computer destroyed! I was afraid of the computer! We were told we were getting two computers in the classroom, and I was devastated. "What am I going to do？" I asked myself, "Well, I better learn it." That's when I discovered what was out there--teachers having websites and digital portfolios for their students. It gave me the hunger to learn and be a part of it. And then I became involved with collaborative internet projects. It was so exciting to be a part of something big, to have the children be producers of information. My dream was to do my own project, and I started thinking about what I could do, still being so new to it all. Having been a teacher for so many years, common sense told me: I just teach myself how.

Nicole: How did you jump that first hurdle？

Susan: I did my first project, which was called An Apple a Day. It was a very simple poetry project using different poetry formats. I wasn't a very good Web designer at the time (although I did write my own HTML), but I had classes send me poetry and one picture, and I put it on a website for them. I couldn't wait to get home and check my e-mail to see who wanted to Join and who was sending me in formation. It was the most exciting thing that ever happened in my professional career!

Nicole: How did things evolve from there？

Susan: When I started getting involved in this, we had two computers in the classroom, but they weren't hooked up to the Internet. I wanted digital portfolios for my students, so I did the work at home and uploaded the files. Once a month, I would take the children on a field trip to the high school library where we would get to see our website. I also invited the parents to my house to show them their children's work. I got a lot of congratulatory letters from the educational community and I would send them over to my administrator.

One day my administrator said she wanted to see me. I figured they were firing me! I'll never forget it. But she said, "Susan, what's your motive？ You're doing so much with computers. What can we do for you？" I said. "I Just have a passion for this." She said, "Well, I think it's wonderful. We're giving you a phone line,"

It's a great story! I started going to more technology conferences and writing. I wrote several artic]as for various online magazines, and I was getting awards for ray website and sharing this with my district. The year before last I was a part-time second-grade teacher and part-time computer resource person, and it just demanded too much time, This year I became the district computer teacher, and I love it.

Nicole: What are some persona] rewards of doing these projects？

Susan: Oh, I could go on forever about it. There is this class in
