Maybe you aren't reading the right newspapers, John.  The LA Times has four staff writers posted in Russia.  There are frequent in-depth reports on the current situation in Russia as well as the former republics.  Your university library should carry the LA Times as the LA Times has the largest circulation of any U.S. newspaper.
 
JW> For instance, I have to listen to the BBC just to find out that

That was front-page news on both the LA Times and my local rag, the San Francisco Chronicle.  I also saw reports of it on CNN.
 
Does your university carry SCOLA?  If so, you can watch the Russian nightly news live from 12:00 pm Central time M-F.  The program is direct from Ostankino television studios in Moscow and was formerly called "Vremya."  I am assuming that you can understand spoken Russian.
 
Also, if you should happen to understand Lithuanian or Latvian, the Lithuanian and Latvian newscasts run on SCOLA on a five-day taped delay:  Lithuanian 3:00 pm Central time M-F, and Latvian 3:30 pm Central time M-F.

Hi, John!
 
My name is Gleb, I'm from Russia, an exchange student. Well, I really 
can agree with you, sometimes this conference is really "empty", there's 
nothing to read about. Maybe, that's because of the fact, that not a lot 
of people are interested in russian language or in Russia in general.
So, if you want to make this thing history, then suggest something 
really interesting!

I have to recommend the "Concordia Language Camp" in Minnesota.  It is
excellent and has won many awards for it's teaching style.  (Total
immersion in language and culture.  You have to bring a "passport" to
get in, customs, etc. etc.)  It's been touted as the best language camp
in the midwest, if not the US.

Well, to me there are an awful lot of interesting things happening, but one just doesn't hear of it over here.  Lithuania voted Communist in a "fair" election that excluded the 40% of its population that happens to be ethnically Russian, the exchange rate of the ruble has slipped to 419:1 with the dollar, hate groups such as "Pamyat" have gained considerable public attention.  Even though I feel that Russia proper will make it through, I have to wonder what condition the other nations of the old union will






 be.

The truly sad thing to me is that Americans seem to feel that somehow we "won" the cold war, and therefore need not worry about Russia any more.  We are not only ignoring the potential of things turning worse in Russia, but also losing an unprecidented opportunity to build trade relations with a nation that could become a major trading partner and ally.  Russia needs manuactured goods, infrastructure and know-how, all of which we have in abundance.  America needs raw materials and markets, which Russia has






 plenty of.  I am afraid that Russia will be pushed into the European trade sphere thruogh our indiference, and twenty years from now America will more or less be locked out.

Will buisnessmen in the United States wake up to the potential, or are they all too busy swilling martinis at power luches to notice?  What do ya'll think?

Thanks for your reply. It is so hard to get into our computer room that I would like to be able to take some to my classroom sometimes for a period or so - I don't always need to have the whole class working on the computer at the same time. Also our room does;t allow much space for working around the machines. To book time in T3 (Nov) I would really need to book in during T1 and that is hard to think so far ahead. I feel going to a room you have to book so far ahead is too structured and confining. Primar




y schools often have access to a few machines when necessary and this is what I"d like sometimes.

Hence our school-wide policy on computers across the curriculum at our school. By the way the American report on computer use in American schools makes salutary reading. I don't feel so far behind and that we in NZ can learn from USA mistakes. "America's shame"  Macworld  Sept 1992.

Hi Laura.  Nice to hear form you again.  Your latest message seemed a lot 
more positive so I guess things are working out for you in your process 
classroom.  I agree with you about reading with the kids.  I have done it 
too.  Some of the kids have criticized me for it though.  They think I should 
spend that time marking other work so they can get it back quicker. You can't 
win. :-)

It took me several weeks to conference with all sixty students and and to go 
over all of their pieces of wqriting with them.  I've been reading Linda 
Rief's book, though, and she has a good suggestion.  You get the kids to 
choose a couple of pieces of writing (I think five is too many) and then have 
them write a history of each piece.  They then give themselves three grades 
on each piece, one for process, one for content and one for mechanics.  That 
way a lot of your work is done for you at the evaluatrion conference.  You 
just have to read the pieces beforehand and then give a mark.  That doesn't 
even have ot be in a conference if you don't have the time.  You then take an 
average of the student and teacher marks.  Confused?  Don't be.  I made it 
sound more big of a deal than it really is.

I will be doing my next marking period in two weeks and I'll let you know 
how I make out.  

About regular conferences ... I started posting a sign up sheet for students 
to request conferences.  It hasnb't solved my problem about seeing everybody, 
but at least I'm seeing the ones who really feel they need help.  I've 
noticed a lot of peer conferences taking place and that is very rewarding. 

Gotta run.  The bell's about to ring and I have duty.  Write back when you 
get a chance.

John

Hi There!!

My name is Phil Jones from Henry County Public Schools in
Southern Virginia--located aprox 50 milles from Greensboro
North Carolina to the South and 50 miles from Roanoke, Virginia
to the North. I am an Audio-Visual Service and Maintenance
Technician for the School System. Among items I repair are
computers (everthing from Apple II's to IBM's to Apple
Macintoshes, to Laser 128's to Win's.

In our system we use the computers generally in the classroom
(typically one to a room--average class size varies from 15 to
30 per class depending upon the school) for k to 5th grade.
Grade 6-8 (Middle School) and 9-12 (High School) we have
Keyboarding labs. In these labs the students report for classes.
In the High School setting they learn how to use such programs
as WordPerfect v5.1, and Lotus 123. In Communications' and
other labs we use Macintoshes and programs such as Word 5.0 and
PageMaker 4.2. Hope this helps!?

Hi,
     I read your letter about animal fantasy books.  There is an author named Thornton W. Burgess who wrote a whole series of books about animals of the Green Meadow and surrounding forest.  
     Thornton Burgess had a summer home in the town I live in and it is now an animal sanctuary.  I hope you try them and enjoy!
