Founder Tom McGehee died in 2002 brother Frank followed in 2006, but the company is still owned and operated by the McGehee family. The company features products from the best paper manufacturers worldwide. The brothers expanded the business throughout eight states in the southeast, establishing distribution centers and employing many family members. The Jacksonville Paper Company was sold by the family in 1965, and the two brothers immediately started a new enterprise to target the printing and graphics industries. Frank McGehee and Tom McGehee, his sons, both worked in the family business, with Tom serving as president by 1956.

Presented as part of the symposium Hypermodel Research in Theory and Practice. Since BioLogica activities, the instruments used to assess learning, and data logging capabilities changed over the course of the year, we report on two high school implementations and the field test as self-contained studies to document the changes and the outcomes at different phases of development.īarbara C. An intensive three-day field test involving twenty-four middle school students served to refine methods and create narrative profiles of students’ learning experiences, outcomes, and interactions with BioLogica. Traces of students’ actions and responses to computer-based tasks were electronically collected (via a “log file” function) and systematically analyzed. All students took a genetics content knowledge pre- and post-test and completed epistemological and experiential surveys.
BioLogica activities, data logging, and assessments were refined across this series of implementations. BioLogica, a hypermodel environment for learning genetics, was used in multiple classes in eight high schools.
The research presented in this paper is part of a large-scale design study conducted in demographically diverse classrooms with software that is under development.
