Glen Hoptman

Glen Hoptman, Publisher of the Lightbeam Group/Studio, started his involvement in the use of electronic media and education as a participant in the Workshop in Designing Television for Children in 1973, at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. Since then, in addition to numerous teaching and senior organizational-management experiences, he has created a laboratory for interactive educational technologies at the Smithsonian Institution and published many international award winning interactive educational applications, in addition to numerous other credits and accomplishments. He has written extensively on new philosophies of knowledge and education, which are emerging as a result of the proliferation of "new media technologies."

Among his education and museum media project credits are The Virtual BioPark and Amazonia/Smithsonian Institution and Computer Curriculum Corporation (Project Originator and Consulting Executive Designer), The Historical Almanack/Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (Executive Producer), and Moneyopolis/Ernst & Young (Executive Producer).

He has been selected as one of the top multimedia developers in the country and is currently working on several Web-based content initiatives and serves as a consultant to the Congressional Web-based Education Commission, and as Chairperson of the New York Times Learning Networks Advisory Board. Glen will direct a re-staging of The Lord of the Flies, for a November 2000 production in Washington, DC.

Glen will present Virtual Objects & Real Education: Prolegomenon version 0.1
