When you said 'it' would be in the mail, you wouldn't happen to be speaking about a cousin of yours? (Unless you've seen the Adams family that might not make any sense). Well, I'll have to keep my eyes open for 'it' and will let you know when I receive it. Thanks for peeking my interest!
Anyway, I was speaking to our computer consultant about this poor lonely modem sitting in my classroom gathering dust, and he told me he just aquired all the necessary cable, etc. and hoped next week it would be complete. I almost don't dare to hope! It seems like forever since I first was told I could get one - but in reality I guess it has only been 3 months. Anyway, keep in touch!
Take care,
Linda

Hi Jeff,
  I've been wondering whether your wife found out anything regarding the
possibility of establishing a Japan K12net node while at CA.  Does she
know any names of CA teachers who might be interested in setting something
up?
  In your travels, have you ever run across a gentleman by the name of
Komei Go?  He was a classmate of mine at CA, and is taking a sabbatical
from his job to study in Taiwan this year.  His family roots are there,
though he lives in Kobe and teaches in Kyoto.
  Have some third graders in my computer classes who are interested in
writing to penpals.  Do you have any who might be interested?  I would
guess we have about eight or ten who might want to do several exchanges,
potentially continuing all year.  Are you on a schedule similar to ours
(Sept-Mid June)?
  Thanks, and have a great Thanksgiving!   ...Tom

Cal,
     I captured three 1-800 numbers from the NEA BBS that were thought to provide access to Internet.  I tried them and got the connect tones but no friendly prompts.  I played around with responses such as escapes, returns, Internet, ERIC .. but only a disconnect for a response after a short span of time.  I tried your internet # but could not enter it fast enough to suit the carrier. So I entered your Internet address into a macro, dialed the # again, typed $ and the macro with your Internet address and 

got the response: TELENET 600 15N  (and at a subsequent attempt TELENET 600 15R.) After that there was a prompt for TERMINAL= .  I tried your address again, tufts, Internet, and whatever else occurred to me.  I could not get any further.  What do you think I accessed and is there anyway for me to get to Internet and ERIC with the 1-800 numbers that I have?  I'll be impatiently waiting for your response.

Most European countries change to "summer time", but -- beware --
not at the same dates as the US.
There is a hot discussion about its value, especially in the countries
north of the 50th latidute, where in summer the sunset is at about
9 pm anyway...
There are so many conflicts on the days of time change. Especially the
farmers object, because milk cattle (as example) needs a week or so
to get accustomed to the new milking hours.
The energy saving seems to be below 1.5 %, after measurements of the
power suppliers in Germany.

  I am glad to see that someone is going to start treating this
topic, but so far, you are the only one that has responded.  I
am serving on an America 2000 committee and we are really haveing
a problem with this.
  The only standard we have locally is that elementary students
will be "computer literate."  Otherwise, we use the state's
standards.  They are fairly reasonable - you could probably write
our State Education Dept. and get copies - but I am not sure how
much they are actually used by the teachers "in the trenches" - so
to speak.

 > Hi, All!  Looking to start a thread here about

  How did you get it?
   Carol- a private company (Learning Enhancement Associates)headed by an ex school Principal, in collaboration wih the Otago Primary Principals' Association (Otago is the province) (Primary Schools are the equivalent of your elementary schools) and Telecom South set up a six month pilot project which began in March this year. Eighteen schools in this province were provided with
- a 386 IBM compatible computer with a 61 mb hard drive
- a 2400 modem
- a fax and fax catcher
- a hands free phone
- a colour dot matrix printer
- associated software and training.
The equipment was valued at $11 000 but we were able to purchase it as a package at just over $5000.

  What

I was also able to get a grant to explore the use of CD-ROM so my school had a little extra on the others. As we live in a rural area, I invited the local high school students who travel 40km by bus to school each day to come to this school in the evenings to access the CD-ROM encyclopedia for their assignments.
When we had a demonstration evening for parents, the fact that the high school students also had access to the equipment as well as the obvious success my children were having was a very strong selling point. This is a very small community with 50% of the parents on Social Welfare benefits so the raising of that amount of money was a real effort. However, it is now done. The computer is also used for school administration. Hope this helps.

May I suggest that you contact the European schools participating
in a project called "aquadata". Its objective is to let students
measure water pollution in a neighboring river and collect the date
in a central database. In Germany about 100 schools are helping to
collect data.
The learning content is, how to handle the chemical measurment
equipment, how to measure, how to format and transfer data into
the database, how to retrieve specific data, how to do statstical
calculations with selected data, how to interpret the calculations,
how to draw conclusions and general judgements from the calculations.

A side effect will be, that a river pollution map for Germany will
come out at the end. 

In the other countries in Europe the participation is not quite as
strong, since only in Germany a scientific association (Verband
deutsher biologen) is supporting the project financially.

Contact: Karl Sarnow at Gymnasium Grossburgwedel (Germany) - he is
  the German contact person for the project and pushing it at his
  high school.

Carol, thanks for the great ideas to Deniece and I.  The idea of making
the teams randomly, is a good one. I also like the idea of giving each
member of the team a specific duty, accountability is the key I guess!
I was wondering how frequently you break your kids into groups (once a
week, twice, or daily?)  I'm trying get the idea of how it would be best
served in my classroom.  When do you assign homework, before, after, or
during the time they are in their groups?  I'm a real beginner in this
CL stuff so I hope you don't think my questions are too dumb!<grin>
I am certainly going to use your idea of the "re-sodders" in my unit of
area and volume!! I have the perfect facilities for my kids to do that
one.
        I also saw your message about telecommunications in our schools.
I am in a 6,7,8 middle school with one modem set up in the library area.
 Right now the facilities are more directed to teachers than to
students.  I am currently enrolled in a telecommunications class and
that is how I got hooked up with a local board and the K12 network.  I
am going to propose to my school that they begin to use this board and
take advantage of the network.  Who knows what will happen?!?
        Thanks again for your response.   Melanie
