Hi Anne,
On my first trip through the Bus. Ed. area I read your message regarding state standards for Bus. Education.   I am interested to learn what courses are required.  Here in Massachusetts Business Education is suffering badly.  For example, in the school I teach in 1970 there were 27 Business Ed teachers.  In 1982 there were 18, today we have only 8 tat our high school.  If it wasn't for the computer courses I am quite confident in saying we would be down to 4.  How are things in Virginia.  What computer cou
rses are taught in the Bus. Ed. area?    
Hope to hear from you.

Alan.  Thanks very much for your reply.  I think it will be great to have
you and your experience as part of my mentor group.  However as much as I
would like you here in Canada with me and my students the project so far
is limited to interactions by computer - messages back and forth concerning
topics of interest to you and the student(s) you are paired with.

I've got you on my list as a mentor and I thank you.

P.S.  Could you try to contact me directly through my Internet or
Bitnet address or are you limited to the K12 net?

Thanks

Hi Anne
Having just read another of your messages, I wish to let you know I am very interested in telecommunicating with teachers from Virginia.  I teach computer courses and we have a dedicated phone line in 2 of my classes, so we naturally have the kids telecom too.  I would love to have my students communicating with kids from Virginia.  Please let your teachers know I am available and we'll set something up.

We seem to be holding our own in VA.  Some areas are losing
teachers and programs, but most are breaking even.  I've had
some reports of growth.

We teach Keyboarding on computers--some courses in grades as
low as 3.  We teach Introduction to Computer Applications
(Computer Concepts), Office Systems, Business Computer
Applications, Management Information Systems, Accounting
Computer Applications, Data Processing, and Business Artificial
Intelligence (Expert Systems).

We are going through some major changes in education in VA in
the next few years.  It will be interesting to see what role
Business Education will have in the new structure.

Please pass on any success stories!  Thanks,

Hi all.  I am John Perry and am a faculty member at Mississippi State 
University in the Department of Technology and Education where business and
marketing teacher education programs are located.  We have several faculty (yes
we are still quite a successful program attracting many very good students)
who are well know to most business teachers in the Southern Business
Education Association and the National Business Education Association.  We
are very contemporary in our curriculum and course content.  Computers and
their use in helping to solve problems and computers as a mind extention and
work tool are infused into each of our classes.  We require several courses
(taught in our department) on computer applications.  I could go on, but you
get the idea of the type of business teacher education program that we have.

The internet and its varied uses are used by our faculty and students to
peruse the world for information, research specific topics, communicate with
persons from different cultures, etc., etc.  We would like to develop this
window on the world to the extent that we would have business teacher 
colleagues (including pre-service teachers, etc.) with whom we could 
communicate about topics of interest to the business teacher education field.

This group (k12.ed.business) is a wonderful place for such to occur on a 
broad basis.  In addition, we would like to develop personal contacts with
those of you who would like to communicate privately on various/any topics
of interest to each party.

Please respond to this group for those topics of general interest.  Respond
to me personally at the interest address displaced in my signature file at the
end of this message (jfp1@ra.msstate.edu) if you desire some more personal
communication.  I will forward any private messages to the faculty member in
our department who seems to have the knowledge/interest related to your
specific private concern.

Thanks, and I'll see you on the internet!

            +---------------------------------------+

September is the month when K12net considers new candidates to
moderate each of its non-Channel echoes. While our sysops provide an
effective yet amazingly inexpensive delivery system, it takes
skillfull, imaginative and energetic moderators to stimulate and
guide the creation of applicable curricular content in our echoes.
Do you have the "stuff" that it takes to be a good moderator?

K12net moderators assume a responsibility to assert a skillful and
continuous managerial *and* editorial presence in their echoes to
stimulate the posting of lively and appropriate conversation and
information of a curricular nature by and for our worldwide K-12
community.

Moderators are appointed by the K12net Council of Coordinators,
usually through the Moderator Coordinator, (currently Jack Crawford)
for a term of one year expiring at the end of September. This term
may be renewable. There may be more than one moderator in the larger
echoes.

If you would like to be considered for appointment as a moderator,
please send a "resume" to Jack Crawford at 1:260/620 by Sept 21st
with the following information:

1. Provide a "topic sentence" (not more than 25 words) which
   describes the curicular and/or professional educator focus you
   propose to give the echo. Also include your ideas on any specific
   projects you would like to implement in the echo.
2. Briefly describe your background and professional qualifications
   in the echoe's topic area.
3. Describe your experience with international telecommunications-
   based conferencing and collaboration.
4. Describe the extent of your commitment to "assert a continuous
   managerial and editorial presence" in the echo.
5. Current moderators should indicate their desire to be reappointed
   and, in particular, address items 1 and 4 above.

IMPORTANT: Please limit the size of your "resume" to about 300 words!

I've noticed a few new faces (what is the computer terminolgy for this
colloquialism?) on the network recently so I though I would send out
this request again.

I will be teaching a Methods of Teaching Accounting Course to students
who want to become Business Education teachers at the high school
and college levels.  I am hoping that I can entice some of you
experienced teachers to become 'electronic mentors' to my students.

Your role would be to communicate with your "mentee" about issues such
as the nature of students in accounting classrooms, classroom management,
instructional strategies, content, testing and evaluation, etc.

I require my students to put together lesson and unit plans and to
identify appropriate resources for the accounting classroom.  In return
for your support I would expect them to share their work with you.

If you are interested please leave me a note here or if possible contact
me directly at the address given below.

However, my com 2 is supposed to be external as well, so I keep my modem on com 4 in case I ever want to attach something to no.2.
Those rules are not written in stone... When I have a problem like yours, I just re-set the jumpers (which are conveniently located so that I can change them without taking apart my computer)  to COM 2 (Consult your manual on the proper settings).  I have nothing connected to COM 2 ( and I get the impression that you don't either) so it doesn't cause any problems.  I no this sounds a bit confusing, and it's a bit hard for me to explain, so just mail me back with any questions.  My modem is in COM 4 like yo
