Yes, IBM does have a program, Touch Typing for Beginners, that keeps records 
and works quite nicely on I-Class networks.  I have used it with elementary 
students for a couple of years.  However, I do not stress keyboarding and 
have not tracked progress.  I like this program because I can work with a 
large number of students, they log themselves in to the approriate place for 
their own work and 5-10 minutes later we can all go on to a writing 
assignment.  I have used a few others and I am sure that for different 
objectives, there are superior keyboarding programs.  For keyboard 
familiarization and the "bookmark" capability, it is great!

I regret that I may have missed your original message.  Please be  sure that we are interested in linking up via e mail.  Our school is  public, open to both boys and girls and for children in grades 6, 7, and  8, which is about from age 11 to 13 or 14.  We will be out of school from  December 18 through January 4th.  If you can, please let me know about  your school and how you see us working this link out.  Shall we just send  a series of messages out through YOU as the reciever?  Most of my  students ha
ve their own accounts on K-12 NET, but could work through me  if that is more convenient.  Shall we begin on a rather chatty class to  class note, asking some rather inane questions that kids would  like...weather, popular music, styles, etc. etc. What are your thoughts?

HI Paul,
 
Well it is certianly an honour to be asked about this, as I recognize 
my opportunity to contribute to the improvement of the education system 
in our world.
 
I think that there should be a greater emphasis placed on 
troubleshooting, if you teach it in conjunction with theory, then it is 
taught early and becomes a habit. When I got out of school, I was 
presented with things like Ampex AG-440C reel to reel tape machines, 
which were an Electro-Mechanical/ Electronic wonder. I did not know 
what to do with a fault. I could design my way around a problem, but I 
could not figure out why it was not working. So if there were a change 
in "classical" ciriculum to be made, I would say teach some theory, 
apply it and then introduce a fault and have them figure out why the 
thing is not working right and show them how to split it in half and 
logically look in both directions of a circuit and then they can find 
faults. Otherwise when they hit the employer, they will not know what 
the business end of a screw-driver is.
 
There is one lesson I keep learning over and over, things break for 
simple reasons, not complicated ones.
 
I hope this helps, but please if you ask more question, (which I would 
love to answer) please try to give me something more specific. 
 
So what are you in charge of? Are you creating the course from the 
ground up? Or are you just modifying an old one? Education and Teaching 
has always been very interesting to me. I would love to do it someday.
 
Best Regards,
Alan

Hi Joe,

*** Quoting Joe Novello to Chris Rowan ***

JN> We constructed a space shuttle simulator based on NASAs Space
JN> Transportation System.  The heart of our simulation was one
JN> computer and a video cassette recorder.  We synchronized at
JN> shuttle tracking program (available free from NASA) with video
JN> footage from the shuttle which corresponds with the position of
JN> the shuttle.  This "program" was run from launch through orbiter
JN> re-entry.

That really must have been something!  Could you provide some more info about the shuttle tracking program?  How did you go about ordering it?

We're going to build a simulator/habitat where four "astronauts" will live and work for several hours, utilizing a Shuttle Simulator program for the Mac. I still have to contact Wayne Calk in El Paso to actually GET the program. Communication between the habitat and Mission Control will be accomplished through the use of modem-equipped PC's and video cameras.

JN> While in flight, students preformed health and science
JN> experiments, prepared food, and communicated with mission control
JN> via AM and FM transcievers.  At the end of the flight, the flight
JN> commander and pilot brought the shuttle down using a modified
JN> version of Microsoft flight and landed at Kennedy Space Center in
JN> Florida.  The computer simulation used actual scenery from the
JN> landing area.

We plan to do the same.  I've downloaded gobs of lesson plans relating to spaceflight from Spacelink via TENET.  The materials are on order.  What kinds of experiments did your astronauts perform?  How did you "modify" the Microsoft Flight program?  More to the point, how could WE modify it <g>?  Do you have a portfolio of your activities that you could send to us C.O.D.?  I'd really like to know more about your project!

JN> We put over 500 students through our program last year and had a

WOW!  We plan to put 60 students through our 8-week program, and have put hours and hours of work into it, planning, ordering materials, arranging for field trips, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to tell me about your program!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone heard about the International Student Space Simulation project created by Jerry Bernhardt in Conroe, Texas?  We at Morningside Elementary are going to participate in this year's Space Simulation and would like to establish contacts with other I.S.S.S. participants.
        
I'm not certain, but I _think_ we are the only elementary school in our area that is participating.  We will conduct a Saturday Academy that consists of 8 consecutive all-day Saturday sessions.  Initially, the students will be taken on a field trip to Space Center Houston to learn about space flight and the history of NASA.  The following Saturday and each Saturday thereafter, students will be placed in cooperative groups of four to engage in many hands-on, minds-on space-related activities.
        
We will build a Space Simulator Habitat in which four student astronauts will live and conduct experiments.  Communication between the habitat and Mission Control will be accomplished through the use of modem-equipped computers and video cameras.
        
Since this is Morningside's first "launch" of a simulator, we would sincerely appreciate any tips or guidelines you can offer that would contribute to the success of our mission.
        
                                                Best regards,

     Spfld. College is very big in athletics.  They have a beautiful pool too.  I coached youth soccer with a professor from Spfld. College and for an end of the season part she took us all to the pool.  The faculty has a few hours reserved on Sunday afternoons and no one uses the pool.  We had a ball.
     I was most interested in how rigorous and the time commitment.  Right now finishing school and beginning my second practicum in January, time is limited.

 Hi I am new to this echo so don't know if this is for teacher's only. If it
is let me know.

 I just bought an exercise bike that has a thing you clip to your earlobe
and it measures your pulse rate. The instruction manual unfortunately is very
vague.

 I was wondering first of all what is a good pulse to have<g>, and what is
a good pulse rate to shoot for. The instruction manual says to set it for
a particular rate and it will warn you if you go below it, but doesn't state
any figures on which to make any desicions. Also what is considered a high
heart rate, just so I know if I am overdoing it?

 I figure you would need to know a little info on me to make a decent
 suggestion so here's the info:

 I am 27(on Dec 22) about 5,7" and weigh approx 165-168 lbs. I do workout a
little already but it is mostly with weights so a haven't been getting as
much aerobic exercise as I should(hence the bike).

 Any info would be much appreciated.

Hi Lisa,
     No need to apologize because I have left messages in the wrong areas before too.  
     I'm a skier and would love to chat about skiing.  This rain is going to do a job on any base any area has.  
     My kids came home with a ski trip announcement from the E.Longmeadow and Wilbraham Rec Depts. for a trip to King Ridge in New Hampshire.  Have you ever skied there?  It's a neat place.  You start at the top and take the chairlift up the hill when you want to leave!  All the runs are named after Alice in Wonderland characters.  I'd like to go but don't think the skiing will be good after all this rain.  I think we'll wait and do a trip over Feb. school vacation.
     Our middle school offers a ski program where the kids are bused to Mt. Tom for 1 hr. 45 min. lesson and then another hour or so of free skiing.  It's a great program.
     What's your favorite place to ski?

Thanks Helen,
     I just don't have a lot of time this winter/spring to devote to swimming lessons!  As much as I love running the camp getting a full time teaching position is the most important thing right now.  One semester to go!  Of course if I don't find a position I'll be back at camp and they'll have to find someone else WSI certified to do swim lessons.  
     Our camp program is 5 weeks long and serves about 80-90 kids a week. It's a full time job for most of the summer getting things ready and then closing up everything at the end.  It seems funny to be talking about summer camp with the wind howling outside and snow 12 inches deep!
     Thanks again for the information.

Hi again,
     I actually was talking to a friend in the athletic dept. of Elms college who is a avid cross country biker.  She gave me the following formula for your pulse rate.
        Take 220 and subtract your age.
        x 60%
        You want to work at 60% of your maximum heart rate to begin
and gradually work up.  If my math is correct I come up with 115 pulse rate.  220-27 (your age) = 193 (Maximum heart rate)
        193 x 60% = 115.8
     Good luck.
