Dear Melanie:

I have experimented a little with cooperative learning in my
calculus-based physics course.  I teach about 18 students per
class.  From my perspective, "cooperative learning" means
devising exercises which require a TEAM effort (mutual
interdependence) instead of how students can help each other
learn textbook material. 

I have devised the following activities:

1) A series of extremely tough exercises that groups of 4 students
work on together...the exercises have a "storyline" that
continues from day to day (with a "cliff-hanger" ending at the
end of each (daily) exercise.)  Example:  "James Blondo vs. the
Perminator" {007 vs. Terminator} I created a series of
confrontations between these two characters in which my
students must apply physics and calculus to figure out who
"wins" the (daily) battle.  

2) A odessey-(spelling?)-of-the-mind type exercise where i let
(pairs or triplets) of students know that they have one or two
evenings to devise and build a "car" using rubber band or
mousetrap power, which can roll up a VERTICAL plastic pipe
(usually 4" diameter).  They then test it in class.  The
pairing up process avoids pairing up a student with his/her
regular lab partner.

I do take class time to explain to my students why cooperative
learning/"team work" is important and the Do's and Don'ts of
cooperative learning-how to build team spirit while tackling a
difficult academic task, etc.

My largest struggle in doing cooperative learning projects
deals with HOW to group students (by ability? by sex?, etc.)
and HOW to grade students who do not contribute their fair
share to the overall group effort along with HOW to award
students who do more than their fair share.

Hope this info. was somewhat helpful...hope you get that
pay-raise!

In my view, sheep shots like that are for the woolly-minded.
Maybe you should tell it to the merinos, always keeping in mind that a
black sheep is probably a horse of a different colour, although as the

Hi Brian,  Congratulations on your cable access.  Our local company is
kind enough to supply us (a public K-12 school) free access as well.
Mostly we use the local public television programming.  There's an
organization here called ITV (Instructional TV) which asks us what we (the
schools in the region) want, and tries to air according to those requests.
There's a fee involved, but it gives us legal record rights, and supplies
us with program and teaching guides.
 The reality of things, however, is that most teachers decide ahead of
time what they want to show, and record it (that's where I come in) before
hand.  This is much more convenient, because if "Johnny" is having a fit
of some kind in the middle of the show, or clocks are off, or you want to
stop and talk about something, you can.
  The new Spanish learning show, Amigos, is popular with the Primary
teachers.  If anyone is teaching about current events, I'd highly
recommend CNN Newsroom.  It airs in the middle of the night, so you have
to record it.  An almost essential part of using it is finding a source
for the lesson plans.  You do this on-line in the morning, and most
Learning Link services carry it.  It's written in the wee hours in Atlanta
and sent around the country for all teachers.  The plan gives a minute -
by - minute rundown on the show, gives background on the big stories, and
even includes a student worksheet, so is about five pages.  The show, by
the way, is 15 minutes, and always includes the latest news.
  TV is an excellent tool if used wisely. ...Tom, La Conner, WA, USA

Hi, Melanie.  I'm enjoying some heavy duty cooperative learning in my 
classroom.  I'm teaming groups up randomly and using an incentive 
where the kids are responsible for each other and it's working great.  
The students get bonus points for everyone having their work, everyone 
getting grades of 85 or above, and when appropriate, improvement of 
grades.  I teach 7/8th grade Math and found my kids really respond to 
the style, often motivating and encouragin their teammates to do well. 
 Thanks.

                   TAIERI CALL ANSWERED FROM AFAR
    
    by DAVE KING  - Computer News section -   NZ Herald   Nov 10, 1992
                                Reprinted by kind permission
"Hey world, here we are!"
That was the message broadcast by the 16 boys and girls at a remote
Taieri Beach School south of Dunedin a few weeks ago. Perhaps they 
were feeling a little isolated and wanted to communicate with somebody
out there. Whatever, they may have started something.
 
For a start, their plaintive cry was not ignored. "The response was 
fantastic", said the principal of the school, Mr Robin Bain. Within
four days the children got messages from schools in three American 
States, Massachusetts, Montana and Texas, as well as Canada and
Australia.
 
They found themselves fielding all sorts of questions, such as: Where
is New Zealand? Is it a real country? What is it like living in 
Australia? What is a Maori?
 
The Taieri Beach children, aged between five and ten, used their school
computer to establish contact with the "world". It is connected to the
public telephone system and part of a bulletin board non-profit-making 
international computer comminications system called FidoNet. They sent
their message by typing it on the keyboard of their computer, which
accessed the K12 section of FidoNet.
 
SPANS WORLD
 
K12 is an international resource, or "electronic classroom" which spans
the world. Mr Bain said the children found K12 interesting partly 
because of its immediacy. They had tried writing to other schools, but
if they got a response at all, it took a long time. The children also
found K12 projects interesting.
 
They had got involved in one called Global Village News, telling children
in other countries about the yellow-eyed penguin and cardboard cut-out
police cars. They are now getting involved in a new K12 project called
"adopt a river." The Taieri River was nearby and the children would 
monitor its flow, and collect other data about it, which they would send
overseas. "The children found the projects tremendously stimulating"
said Mr Bain.

Steve:

I have an old book called "Place-Names of Alberta", published in 1928 by the 'Printer of the King's Most Excellent Majesty' (honest) in Ottawa, and in this book is a listing for ANZAC, as follows:
"ANZAC; A.& G.W.R station, 86-7-4 (1917); from the abbreviated name familiarly given to the Australia-New Zealand Army Corps in the World War, 1914-18, and derived from the initial letters."

My interpretation of this is that Anzac began in 1917, as a rr station of the Alberta & Great Western Railway Company. 86-7-4 means Township 86, range 7, west of the 4th meridian. For those not from Alberta this township, range, etc. is the system of land locations used in western Canada.  The country was surveyed in the early years and marked off in sections, each section being one mile square, 36 sections makes a township.

Hope this helps, it is interesting to learn about one's own back yard from a chance remark from someone in Australia.

BTW, congrats on your appointment as "big-wig" here on K12. :)

The Cable system in Spokane, WA-Cox Cable, agreed to provide cable hookups and 
service for all schools in the city two years ago as their community service
commitment.. We are a private school with limited financial resources as well. 
 I have been taping Assignment Discovery for two years. It is on The Discovery 
Channel from 6-7 Pacific time each weekday. I circulate the schedule each
season and teachers mark programs they are interested in. I do the taping at
my home. It has become second nature for me to program the VCR each night.
This Fall we decided to try CNN Newsroom and The Weather Classroom several
times each week with the 5/6 grade classroom so our school VCR is programmed
to do the daily taping. I have the schedule for A+E Classroom as well. I have
found those programs more suitable for high school students.
 
The Assignment Discovery Tapes can be used for one year. I maintain a database 
with tape #, Title, Subject and Description and erasedate. Each 2 hr tape has
4 programs  listed (A,B,C,D). I print out various sorts of subjects; titles,
etc. for teachers to use for planning.
 
I am trying to broaden our use of the tapes from the obvious first use (whole
class in front of the VCR/TV at the same time). I have the tapes in the
library available for check-out by students. I encourage teachers to consider
them a resource like books for students who are gathering information for
projects. When making reports, students can use a portion of a tape to
illustrate or support  their presentation. During the first year we invested
in 50 video tapes and have re-used them this year. Thus for the price of the
tapes and my time commitment  to keep things organized have 200 excellent
documentaries which complement our curriculum. I have mostly found that for
the elementary level, we tape more programs in Natural Science(wed) and Social 
Studies(tues) than any other days.

I have also on occasion taped a Reading Rainbow when the book fits with a
particular teacher's topic.THe Cable in the Classroom monthly magazine is very 
helpful for planning each month. Our cable company has provided each school
with a subscription. I have tried using suggestions in the magazine in our
school newsletter for parent guidance in choosing TV at home. Making wise
choices for TV should be a part of our information skills curriculum soon.

hope this is helpful.
