Hi Timothy!

Well thats not too bad is it !!  We have just got a brand new network at our school.   We now have 36 386's with a massive 486 server and a CD-ROM server for the network.  We also have a multimedia station that is loaded to the rafters with bits and pieces!  However we have been using Nimbus 186 machines for the last 3 years so we deserved some real computers :-)

 TB> What program do you use for your school
 TB> newspaper? Well, our class is over in a few minutes, so we have to go.

I use Pagemaker at school and Ventura for Gem at home.  Both are very good packages although I will soon be getting a copy of the very capable program, PagePlus.

Do get back to me and tell me more !

My preference is for productivity programs and simulations.  I'd rather not have the students seeing the computer as a teaching machine.  Instead, we should look for programs where the student is in control of the machine.  Within the classroom, the computer should be used as a tool to help the students accomplish an objective.  When there is a need, use it.  There is nothing wrong, though, with the computer sitting idle.  I also like to see good simulations.  This would involve the integration of videodis




c technology.  Videodiscovery has developed some incredible products.
 
since we are using it, iI would be remiss to  not mention telecomm. The possibilities are incredible!  I'm sorry if you were looking for my ideas on specific pieces of software, but I work more in the area of designing an instructional environment rather than getting to intimately know software.  To repeat what I said earlier, my philosophical base is to create a situation where the student is in control of the machine, not the other way around. When the computer controls the learning, I fear for the self-




efficacy of the student.

Hi,

My name is Scott Barnham, from Sydney Australia.  I am putting together a proposal for our school to swap from old Apple IIc's to Macintosh (but some staff want to go MS-DOS).  I was interested to hear your comments on AT EASE, As I had the same feeling that it wouyld stop the students learning how to use the Mac properly.  Can you give me more info on you school setup - do you network the LC's ?  What would your opinion of using powerbooks in classrooms ?

Regards, Scott

Good - we must be aware of the existence of the K12 Teacher Chat as

similar communications here, but specific to the topic of computer
literacy.

TW>  I hope students (aren't we all?) and teachers are both welcome here, and

Right on! We are certainly in agreement on that score.

Hi I saw your message about legends from different countries and
I think it is a great idea. I have some aboriginal children in
my class who are starting to show interest in electronic
communication. I think it would be great to have them retell
some of the Dreamtime stories to the world.
I will see if I can get them post a story asap to start the ball
rolling.

Please let me know if you are able to set up a project area.

When you figure it out keep me in mind?  I tried it for about 5 minutes (the 
limit of my attention span) and could not get it going.  Will try it again 
later.  I should bring it home for awhile but then I would not know if it was 
working until I went to work and could tie-up the work fax for hours.  Have 
to go my daughter wants the phone yet again!!!!  Ah to be 16 again?  Talk to

Subject: Ceramic Videos
Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 23:33:08 GMT

Is there any interest in a series of videos on making pottery on the wheel?

Throwing pots must be seen to be learned, and the process must be seen over 
and over.  The video medium is well suited to this type of learning process.

We (myself, Jerry Horning, chairman of Creighton University's Fine Art Dept
and past president of the National Council for Education of Ceramic Arts, and
Tom Langdon, who teaches and produces video) have been working on a series
of six videos (approx. 30 minutes each) to teach the basics of throwing.
Video 1 is on Centering and throwing a cylinder; 2 is throwing and tooling
bowls and plates; 3 is vases and bottles; 4 is pots with handles; 5 is
lidded jars and 6 is teapots and lidded pitchers.  The series is primarily 
designed to teach the throwing techniques but the tapes include orgain 
discussions of clay mixing, firing, glazing, history, wheels, etc.  Also
a workbook has been written to accompany the series and provide additional
information on form, aesthetics, kilns, glazing, firing, history, etc. 

I have posted this article to ask two questions.  The first is simply
to gauge interest in the project and to collect comments, suggestions and
inquiries.  The second is to ask if anyone knows of a source for computer 
lists (either national or for specific states) of high schools or school
districts.  The three of us are all educators and we very much want to
provide a high-quality, useful learning resource at a reasonable price.
We have already invested way too much money and thousands of hours in the
project and we would like to keep the additional marketing costs as low 
as possible.  I have seen lists available for approx. $1,000 but I have to 
believe that such a list is available somewhere on the net or from an 
education resource for free.  I can get the hard copy of such a list but 
with our collective typing skills it would be 2010 before we finished
entering the data.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Finally, we want to keep the price under $40 per tape (probably with the
6th tape free if the set is purchased).  Does that seem reasonable?  Too
much or too little?  These tapes are very well produced (much effort
has gone into lighting, image quality, sound, editing, computer graphics,
etc.) and I am a bit fearful that if the price is too low it will be
assumed that the product is not well made.  

Thanks in advance for any help and if you have specific questions you can
e-mail to me over internet at rossi@cwis.unomaha.edu.

There is a way to send them. Leave me a message with what you have been
able to download thus far and I will send the rest. I can do that 
electronically or via US MAIL whichever is easier for you. I would prefer the first to save postage and to use the medium. If you have 
Internet access, I can suggest a few places that might be of interest.
Just let me know, TOm
