+---------------- EdTech Introduction ------------------------------+
Hi people!
it's quite an year I've discovered Ed-Tech list. From the beginning
until now my only preoccupation was to 'read & learn', making
comparaison with my local situation and the international trend in
educational theory & applications. I'm involved in several experiences,
school, bbs, evaluation of software, consultant for teacher...
Now I think it's the time to present myself and to partecipate a little
more in this 'chaos' of discussion, so interesting and stimulant.
Dont'shot me for my horrible imitation of Shakespear language.

E-mail Address: OTT@ICE.GE.CNR.IT

Subject Area of Expertise & Interests: humanistic topics, social problems...
             I teach in the Medium school, boys & girls aged 11-13.
             I'm teacher of italian litterature, grammar,
             history and geography, NOT english, as you can read  ;-)
             'cause in Italy usually we study english at school, but
             it's very different what you study... from what you learn!
             (by the way I've studied french,. so....)

I'm collaborating with the National Council of Research of Italy, and
I'm responsable (sysop) of a bbs dedied to handicap and new technologies
in the school (a FidoNet bbs, 2:332/208).
In my town there are some pilot-experiences in introducing computers in
the classrooms, we'have begun from 1986 to prepare the teacher using
computer for wp, programming (Logo), rehabilitation of  handicapped
students... especially with children, age 6-13.
Actually there are many schools with computer classes (don't
forget that in Italy the Educational Office introduced "Informatica"
only after 1988 and only in superior schools).
Our last idea was to participate to KID-LINK...

Ok, that's enogh, for the moment.

Thanks to all the participants of this lists for the good level of
messages and informations.

I have 2 questions
- We are searching for a version of LOGO for Amiga. But we haven't
  found in Italy even a documentation ...
- And for MS-DOS a version of LOGO working with Hercules.
If someone have more informations about this (especially the first)
to give me, thankx a lot.

Ciao a tutti                                Giorgio

Larry, from what you have described and also what you have done
to try and correct the problem, I am only left with the one
idea that the terminal emulation is either not set correctly for
the system you are logging into , the programs have
defective emulations modes, or you are telling the system you
are trying to get into the wrong emulation.

The only other times I have gotten the same symptons is when
there is ALOT of line noise and I am not using an error
correcting modem.

Sorry I cannot give you a definet answer to your problem.

Subject:      Introducing myself..

Technology Coordinator, Anchorage Independent
Phone: (502) 245-2121

I'm fairly new on EDTECH. I'm a teacher (computer/6th gr science) and
technology coordinator at a one-school (K-9th gr) school district in
Anchorage, KY. I've also taught computer in education courses at Univ of
Louisville on a part-time basis. In the past month or so a group of us from 3
school districts have received training on the Univ of Louisville's PROFS
system, which links us to Internet, Bitnet, and I'm not sure what else! From
reading some of the discussions and "return addresses" here, it looks as
though Fred Net could be accessed too? The 3-district training group was
formed to give our teachers an e-mail forum for discussing assessment and
writing portfolios (one member would especially like to communicate with
anyone who has had/is having encounters with LD students and assessment..
modifications being made to meet student needs).

For my district I'm always interested in technical information, instructional
ideas, research projects... If we can fund it, we'd like to see our computer
networks linked to classrooms, and phone line capabilities in classrooms. Our
superintendent would like to be able to access the MacSchool network from his
office. Our enrollment and faculty size have grown. We're in the midst of many
educational and restructuring changes and there is so much info from so many
sources. We could benefit from some sort of in-house e-mail and we've only
begun to look at some of those possibilities.

Larry,
We have used the DataLink 1200/2400 for several years on a IIe. Since it has
been awhile since we installed it, I will have to search my memory for help.
Even though the baud rate should be 2400, we set ours down to 1200 because
it didn't run with ProTerm. Some other things to check: handshake, block type
and parity. Check the DataLink manual to see that your dip switches are set
correctly on your SuperSerial card and The DataLink modem both. Those have to
be just perfect. If one switch is set wrong, it will make a difference. Hope
this helps. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

Subject:      A Journal "Review" - Computers in Math and Science Teaching

[This is cross-posted to edtech, newedu, and ipct]

Readers might want to check out the _Journal of Computers in Mathematics
and Science Teaching_  which is one of the journal publications from the
Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education [email to
aace@virginia.edu for more info on the organization].  We received a
complimentary copy of Volume 11 No. 2 and I found the articles both
scholarly and descriptive.  Here are some of the ones I found that might
be of interest to these list members:

"The Impact of Network Communication Technology on Science Teacher Education",
by Dennis W. Suanl and Cynthia Szymanski Sunal

"Using Computer Simulations to Restructure Students' Conceptions of Force",
by Paul Gorsky and Menahem Finegold

"Doing Science in the Electronic School District", by James D. Lehman et al.

I found these and other articles to be just the "thing" for sharing with
faculty and teachers in disciplines rather than from the generic viewpoint
of how CMC can be used to further education.

Subject:      Managing Mailing Lists

We're looking at setting up a mailing list of between 5000 and 10000.
Preferably one would be able to code the names in different ways so
as to send out mailings to different audiences.  Also since already
produced lists from different sources might be incorporated, it would
be good if they could be merged into the list.  It should be easy
to use, since a number of staff, who are not necessarily computer
experts might use it, and it won't be possible to extensively train/
retrain people.  Easy to use includes both data entry, and more
important, ability to merge the names into a variety of kinds of letters
and mailing labels.

We're looking at integrated systems to facilitate the merging.  Perhaps
the new Microsoft Word for Windows to take advantage of the new graphics
capabilities.  Does anyone have any experience using that for a list of
more than 5000?  Do you know if it would import FoxBase files?

Or do you have another recommendation?  We're going
to be in the DOS environment, and can use either a Windows or non Windows
application.

Thanks

Patty,  We started cataloging videos about four years ago at F&M.  We
started by converting roughly 300 existing videos (they have full OCLC
cataloging but just accession number "call numbers" because our collection
is a non-circulating one housed in the media center.  Videos are used by
faculty and students in the center and by faculty for classroom displays
and CCTV (copyright permitting) distribution on campus for classes.  The
media center creates a workform for the cataloging dept., and if there is a
complete OCLC record, then the process is rather quick and painless -- if
we are not able to find a "complete" record, then it takes weeks before the
video returns to the media center.  We use the DRA automated system, and to
date, we have cataloged roughly 1200 videos.  We have found that cataloging
the videos has greatly increased their use and increased the level of
satisfaction our clients have with our service (the old system of a
paper-copy list in alphabetical order combined with many "private"
departmental video libraries was unacceptable as we attempted to make our
collection more available).  Good luck and I hope this helps.

The University of Kentucky's School of Education has a Macintosh public domain
clip art collection. I believe they have a catalog that you could request. Try
writing to the Sch'l of Ed Media Center, UK, Lexington, KY. Don't know what typ
e of art they have. Perhaps the catalog will help. -Sharon Campbell
