I teach English as a Second Language to students grades 9-12.  I have 5 
students from Vietnam and one from Russia who would like to correspond 
by computer with immigrants from the same countries.  Are there any 
other ESL teachers out there with students who are interested?

Hi C arol. I think you are rightabout the attitudes of teachers towards computers. Since every  level I get to see all the students in my school. Take for instance this thanksgiving weekend. Alot of teachers were a bit too busy to get anything done by their students to send home. They were a bit taken back when teir students came back from one session at the computer lab with a desk-top publishing printout of a thanksgiving message complete with headings, illustrations and document in hand after a 40 minut

e lesson. The advantages are becoming more evident in math when the grade one and two teachers are asking me to hold off on ading and substracting for a few weeks because their studentss are way ahead of their program. I never let up because the computer only lets you go as fast as you can learn. What a great teaching tool. Thanks for the encouragement. Maurice.

Fran,
  We got tired of hearing the lockers get smashed, hearing excuses about
being late due to malfunctioning lockers, etc., etc, and threw them all
out of our middle school.  Then we built "cubbys" instead.  These are just
large mailboxes with no doors, big enough for a stack of books and a
lunch.  It works, sort of.  Lots of things disappear.  So, all kids end up
with massive duffels containing everything, which they have to drag
everywhere.  Those who join the band have even larger burdens and
responsibilities.  Maybe we can call it extra P.E., all this muscle
building activity, but I think it's tough on the kids.  In retrospect,
part of the reason the lockers were a pain was that they were castoffs
from the high school, then on top of that they got no maintenance.  I
think the answer is to buy really good quality, then make sure you
maintain them, and make sure the combinations are reprogrammable.  It's an
age of development of self image and esteem, and having a little piece of
the world to control and be private in, is really important.  I say get
them!  ... Tom

The point of chairman and chairwoman or chairperson is to make it very
clear about the notion of gender terms and mind sets.  Regardless of
the rather obscure original derivation of the term "manus" the modern
day reality of the term has new meaning.   The intent was not to
conspire to change the meaning of a word as we know that never
happens!!  The intent is to take any inference to gender out of terms
where the terms connotate power.  

Even if the suffix "man" is derived from the Latin word word
"handling"; there is a much more important intent here!

Glad that you will be joining in the Brown Bag Assignments.
They will be online soon.
I spent the evening with Philomene Lakota, a full-blooded Lakota who
was here speaking from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
She was a very good speaker and started off with the burning of sage to
call upon the great Spirit to clear the air of negative energies and
she sang an opening song. She spoke for about an hour and a half about her life with the Lakota and her relationships with the people, her values, interactions with the government etc. We had coffee with her after the talk and she will be here until Sunday.
My only regret is that I didn't take my kids as it was about bedtime.
It is good to see that there was a good attendance and that there are a few people who are interested in dispelling stereotypes.
Have a great rest of the week and a good weekend. Tom
By the way my name that I was given by the Winnebagos is Genteen(the dancer). It is a Lenne Lenape name and was given to me as I did a lot
of native american dancing with friends and their friends in the area.
I went to a lot of pow wows and stayed with people who I met.
(Just an aside that is another part of me)

Folks, the following is an excerpt of a message to me from a University of
Calgary Computer Sciences student who wrote, in part:

At any rate, here's an
idea for a program I'd thought I'd bounce off you.  I know there's probably a
million types out there but I was unable to find any.  The program would be
oriented towards teachers and it would allow the teacher to generate quiz
papers (multiple guess/written response) and instead of just generating a key,
it would generate as many different versions of the test (jumble up the
questions and answers) and provide a key for each one.  Kind of handy for those
cramped quarters when the urge to glance at another's paper becomes
irresistable.   I don't forsee this program having the instant success of the
hockey one, but it might provide a service to someone.  Let me know what you
think.

Comments, anyone?  Is there a need of "individualized" tests which prevent
students from copying the correct responses from others?

Regards,
Steve

                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 GB> in our own back yards that would cure us.  You see,
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 GB> we all have to take oaths to maintain this conspiracy
