Bonjour Andre !

 AR> Une classe de mon ecole (Enseignement secondaire belge, 
 AR> 19 eleves de 1ere, 12/
 AR> 13 ans) souhaite etablir un contact, en Francais 
 AR> (eventuellement complete par des echanges en anglais - 
 AR> mais ils en sont a leur 1ere annee dans cette 
 AR> langue...) avec une ecole des USA ou du Canada, le 

        Je crois bien qu'il y aura des eleves de mon ecole (12-15 ans) interesses a echanger avec les tiens; j'afficherai ton message au babillard (un vrai au mur) afin de susciter un interet.

 AR> jumelage devant deboucher par un voyage vers les USA ou 
 AR> le Canada (et vers la Belgique pour nos 
 AR> correspoondants).

        Toutefois je doute que nous allions jusqu'a un echange puisqu'il y a deja un groupe de nos eleves qui vont en France cette annee scolaire-ci. Si tu tenais toutefois a avoir des correspondants y inclus l'echange, fais-le moi savoir SVP ; de cette facon, nous n'empieterons pas sur une possibilite d'echange-correspondance.

 Steve,
      I have only just read this message I am not sure if this is for me as there was no name on your header.
So far I have not come across another Ann on
the Network but perhaps I have just missed it and this was intended for someone else.I have some fifth grade students in the class ... a total of ten. Three boys and seven girls.
A problem for correspondence may be the small numbers we have here and also the fact that our fifth grade children will be leaving this school at the end of the year and going on to the local secondary school which is not on line with a telecommunications system. Our school year in this hemisphere
is completed by December 18 when we all head away for our summer holidays.  However if you wish to correspond
by conventional mail I can't see this being too much of a problem.
                        Regards Ann Trewern.

This thread is getting close to being a conversation. Perhaps it is off topic?

If you would like to continue this convesation, no worries, but can we transfer it to the Teachers Chat area?

To answer some of your questions Murray, There isn't an Educuation Network for schools. There is a Network for the Universities which is linked into the InterNet.

Yes, 'Schools of the Air' still exist and are doing a great job all over Australia. You can even study for a Masters Degree at Deakin University in 'Distance Education'.

Hi John..
In Canada, our national station has commercials, but does try to cater to 
all tastes, and has two separate channels, French and English. As well, we 
have one other national network, and I believe, one or two regional networks. 
I live in a rural area near the border, so I don't receive but the national 
network, and two American networks. The American PBS carries some good 
British dramas and comedies, but television is getting\ maybe always was\ a 
bit thin.
Do you have an educational network? One of the things, other than Kangaroos, 
that is well known in Canada, is the distance education system for the 
outback. Is it still in operation?

You could always get them to type intheir own owrk into a word processor and then save their work as a text file. You could then upload the file into your editor on the BBS. I don't mind if the msg comes out under your name. You can always type in an intro.

I would be pleased to see some more stds work in this echo.

We need to be encouraging them to write.

Dear All,

I'm a grad student at the University of Texas at Brownsville working on my master's degree in Guidance and Counseling.  One of the classes that I'm taking is called The Bilingual Child.  Our semester project involves surveying administrators and teachers on their views of bilingual education.  I wasn't excited about interviewing my principal and teachers I've know for years, and then I remembered, I'm connected to the world!! <G>

Hi Selma,
  While I'd be glad (?) to fill out your survey, it doesn't seem
appropriate for me, since I'm a "computer teacher", not an ESL person.
However, I grew up speaking Spanish and English, then had French in fourth
grade, and THEN went to Japan and picked up what Japanese I could until HS
graduation.  I still can do some Spanish, can even belt out a verse of the
Marsielles, and do fairly well in Japanese.  The point is, the younger you
start, the easier it is to pick up the _use_ of one or two extra
languages.  I think this business of waiting until high school is just
plain nuts, if you really want to learn something.  Now if you just want
some credits on your paper, well fine, just leave it like that. ...Tom

G'day Murray,

MG>If you don't get PBS, how do you get Dr. Who?? <grin?>
MG>Does Australia have a public TV system, private, or both?

I don't get Dr. Who.  Now and then the (National) ABC - TV puts it our
on the childrens time slot. At the moment it is not avaialable.

Oz has both. The ABC is National and is shown without any commercials
(great). There are three Commercial stations nationally. In the Capital
citys there is an ethnic TV channel.

There is also a commercial satellite program, mainly used by hotels bars
and the horse racing fraternity.

I am old enough to have seen the first Dr. Who, live in black and white
when it was first shown in the UK.
