Concerns:  Exchange of teaching materials / other mutual support
================================================================

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but no
other group seems closer.

This is aimed at colleagues teaching advanced levels of German
possibly in a high school, but more likely at a university.

As a teacher at the high school and university level in Austria
it is not difficult to come up with materials that would be
of interest in a German classroom in an English-speaking
country.

A teacher in an English-speaking country could provide a
similar service for me with English materials.

Is anybody out there interested in such an exchange?

I am speaking primarily of advanced-level stuff in the native
language.  This would include, for example, the publication
of the Univ. of Zurich with the title article "Gewalt--Wozu?"
and other articles on criminality.  (I just happen to have
that lying on my desk.)

Timeless things are most usable.  News is old before it crosses
the Atlantic, for example, and is not worth the price of postage.
We get Time, Newsweek, Herald Trib, etc.

Even videocassettes would be of interest.  Note, however, that
the U.S. has the NTSC format, while Austria uses the German PAL.
This means that you would need a multisystem recorder to use
things that I could send you.  I have the capacity to use NTSC
at the university and at home.

Remember the teacher's copyright creed: It is easier to obtain
forgiveness than permission.

Best regards,


Bob

The Australian Museum might be a good starting point.  We are a museum

conference is echoed here, so you should be able to contact me through
that -- if not, our trusty SYSOP, Roger Buck (that's his real name,
folks, and no, he ain't backwards!) will correct this in some
appropriate way.

What do you want to know?  Bookshops, I can put you in touch with,
videos you can forget -- we have PAL, not NTSC.  Seek, and you may get
lucky!  Talk to me!

Brainwave!  Is Bothell WA in what we foreigners know as Washington
state? (WA here is Western Australia.)  My son in Year 4 (that's 4th
grade to you) is a Karen Bliss, who is on exchange out here from
Washington.  She hails from Seattle, Washington, and one of our local

Spirit Ridge Elementary School.  Do you want more details?

  If you're looking at things to run with small computers, check out a system
called "waffle".  Current rev is 1.65, I believe.  It's a combined BBS/news-

I can appreciate that people from Ontario are moving West in search of
work.  Frankly, if I were out of work, I can think of no better place to
be!  The summers are beautiful, the winters are mild, and there's fruit!
I wonder how much of your growth has been triggered by the influx of Hong
Kong money into Vancouver.  I understand that the real estate market there
is still *super-heated* and so, many people are selling their homes "while
the getting is good" and moving inland.

 EK> We start tomorrow!!!!!

An interesting thing has happened at our school.  With the higher numbers,
we have reached the limits of our building.  (The only other thing we can
do now is to go to a 5-Block day instead of our current 4-Block day.)  Not
only is the building resources strained, I seem to be noticing that the
staff is strained.  People are giving up their preps to accommodate the
extra students, and others are teaching outside their areas of expertise.
This latter point, of course, means that they have to work that much harder
preparing for these classes.
It's really too soon to tell, but I'm sure I'm starting to see signs of
stress in some of the staff.  What's going to happen toward the end of the
year?  There could be a hidden cost in trying to enroll more students
than the school was built to accommodate.  I really hope that I'm wrong!
Up until now, this has been a beautiful school to work at!

Steve

I am looking for some elementary teachers who live on coast lines to

Washington.  In our science unit on the Physical Ocean, I have 
students look up the daily tides for one week.  We then look at the 
pattern, discuss, and , if I'm lucklucky,be do some predictions.  I 
would like to enlarge this project and have some other classes who 
live on coastlines, either in the USA or elsewhere, gather the data 
and exchange this information.  The project would last only one 
week.  I'm thinking about the last of Jan/beginning of Feb 92, as 
there should be a full moon about then.  Exchanging this information 
on the Elementary Chat of the K-12 network would enhance the 
student's ownership of the learning.  I avoid any tide books, but 
have students use the daily newspaper as a resource for finding the 
data.   Anybody interested?

Hi Carol,
  In response to your question, I'll have to answer a definite YES! to
whether kids need to learn about this use of technology.
  Not only does computer based telecommunications permeate our society
today, but while kids (and teachers) exchange ideas and hone their
communications skills, they are learning about the world, and getting
immediate payback for learning keyboarding and bothering to write to
others.
  Any school or teacher that has the knowledge and the motivation to teach
kids how to use this medium but doesn't choose to spend the few pennies
for a modem and phone line is really cheating the students of a valuable,
mind-expanding educational experience.
  At our Elementary, several teachers have developed an in-depth unit
around the Iditerod dogsled race.  By paying a small fee, we are able to
connect to Anchorage through a sattelite downlink and obtain the daily
race results every few hours.  These include how far each racer has
travelled, how many dogs they have left, etc.  Math, Science, Social
Studies, and Language Arts, and Fine Arts are all incorporated in this
unit, and the kids crowd around each new printout to discuss the race
progress.  Of course, this is one small example of the possibilities out
there in the big world of telecommunications.
  Hope you can get the funding you need to put and keep your program
on-line!

Keep an eye on K12net's "Channels" to see how telecom can be used as
classroom activities.

Also, spend a lot of time just reading as much as you can in every
other K12net echo. At first the conversations will seem disjointed
and sporatic but after a while you'll start to realize that you are
gaining a broad perspective about telecom from them.

K12net is where the "movers and shakers" in education hang out.

Robin, 
I happened to see Di Lewis's note to you.  You might be interested in the info 
I received yesterday in a catalog from Learning Services.  They had several
pages of stuff that would be good on a primary level.  I have seen Discus
books and they are pretty neat.  I also know that Orange Cherry makes some
neat programs, so assume that their CD would be good, too.  I don't know where 
you are located, but to order a catalog you can call 1-800-877-9378.  I have
used this company for many years and know they are reputable.  Their toll
number is (503) 484-7499.  Address:  P.O. Box 10636; Eugene, OR 97440-2636. 
You might get some ideas from their catalog and then shop around for prices. 
I only know of one source that is cheaper than them (Educational Resources).

Hope this helps!  (I'm not trying to sell any of their products, nor do I work 
for them.  I just thought they would be a good place for you to start!

counterpart of the U.S.'s National Geographic, except that it's only
quarterly, and the AG's photography is better! ;-)

Australian Geographic
P.O. Box 321
Terrey Hills
NSW 2084
Australia. 

$AU50/yr, which works out to about $40 US dollars or so. 

I've been a subscriber for almost 2 years, and it is without doubt the
best magazine I get.

I have a grade 2/3 Highly Capable class interested in a penpal relationship
with another class, not necessarily the same setup. We have 23 students and
would also like to send work through the mail if possible. Also, I would
like some suggestions, as this is my first year teaching TAG students, on
creative problem solving techniques, strategies and information. Thanks!

Hello, John! Haven't heard from you for awhile, so thought I'd check and see if you were still alive and well.
I've had a bit of good luck today. My principal has agreed to install a modem in my classroom computer! Now I have to talk to our computer consultant about hooking it up, etc.  When I told my grade two class about it, they got quite excited. They wanted to know if their ex- classmate (who moved to Australia last year) would be able to talk with them. Anyway, I think my students will really enjoy the BBS.
Here's hoping the hook-up etc. won't be too costly - I don't think my principal will want to spend too much on this.
Well, I hope all is well with you. 'Til later...
Linda
