Team
at Brooks AFB Wins Hammer for Internet-Based "Writing Tutor"
The team,
which includes private sector consultants and local high school
teachers, developed skills training software in math, writing, and
science. This led to intranet-based versions now in use in some
Job Corps Centers and 40 high schools nationwide. Now there's an
Internet-based version of the plain language writing tutor that
has a promising future.

Smart
Cards Carry All
All of us who use ATM and credit cards know how
smart a little plastic card with a magnetic stripe can be. But plastic
cards are getting smarter. A smart card contains an integrated circuit
chip with a microprocessor and memory. They are portable databases
that government workers can use to work better and faster. The General
Services Administration, in partnership with Navy, opened a Smart
Card Technology Center in Washington, DC, in September 1998. The
Center demonstrates one card storing everything from "cash" to fingerprints
to medical and dental records.
