Building a Battle Site: Roads to and through Gettysburg

On the morning of 1 July 1863, lead elements of Confederate General Robert E. Lee\u27s Army of Northern Virginia advanced on the town of Gettysburg situated in the lush farm lands of south-central Pennsylvania just eight miles east of the South Mountain in Adams county. The Southern reconnaissance in force made early that summer morning was destined not only to change the history of the struggling Confederacy, but also to set the infant United States republic, indeed the world, on courses towards more democratic forms of government. Although many historians have dwelled on those three fateful days in 1863, few emphasize the role the major roads played in the drama that unfolded at Gettysburg. However, events that transpired over a 116- year period prior to the great battle actually created the highway system that was to draw the opposing forces to town-a hub of ten major roads. This essay will briefly explore the development of state- and county ordained roads to and through the site of Gettysburg from 1747 until the year of the battle. After a brief history of the colonial development in the greater Adams county area, emphasis will be placed on the evolution of the ten major roads that join at Gettysburg and how the development of the town affected their positioning and that of some ancillary roads within the borough limits.

Instructional computer use by COE faculty in Turkey: application of diffusion of innovations theory

The purpose of this quantitative research study was to explore instructional computer use by faculty members in the College of Education (COE) at an Anatolian university in Turkey. The faculty members in the study reported low levels of use and expertise in instructional computer technologies. Variables that were analyzed for their influence with regard to the faculty members\u27 use of computers for instructional purposes included demographic characteristics, computer expertise, computer access, barriers to computer access, attitude toward computer use, support for computer use, and adopter categories based on innovativeness. Variables that were found to be significantly correlated with faculty members\u27 level of computer use were computer ownership in the office, age, years of computer experience in general, computer expertise, computer access, barriers to computer access, attitude toward computer use, support for computer use, and adopter categories based on innovativeness;Group differences also were analyzed for the six computer-use factors based on the demographic characteristics and adopter categories. Associate professors; faculty members who owned a computer in the office or at home; those between the ages of 20 and 29; those with between 1 and 5 years and 6 and 10 years of teaching experience; those with between 16 and 20 years and over 20 years of computer experience; and those in the innovators, early adopters, and early majority categories reported higher uses of some or all of the computer use factors;Findings from this study were summarized and discussed with respect to Everett Rogers\u27 (2003) diffusion of innovations theory. The faculty members reported positive attitudes toward instructional computer use relating to Rogers\u27 first three attributes of innovations (relative advantage, compatibility, and simplicity of instructional computer use); the findings regarding the other two attributes (trialability and observability) were mixed. Finally, faculty members\u27 low level of instructional computer use, the majority of the faculty members\u27 self-placement in the last three adopter categories, and responses to the open-ended question regarding reasons for the adopter category that COE faculty members selected were consistent with Rogers\u27 findings
