One of the math instructors at my son's high school swears by the TI-81.
It's a required purchase for Geometry courses and beyond.  She uses an
optional LCD unit on an overhead for class presentations - and gave a very
convincing demonstration on parent night to help justify our shelling out
$85 for a very fancy calculator for a 14 year old!

thanks to KWB107 for starting the ball rolling....I feel more comfortable with
some of your suggestions than others... I feel fairly comfortable with
---explanation of phenomenon
--a model
not so sure about Philosophical construct
less comfortable with proposed guidelines or "a position"
perhaps you could explain what you mean by some of these, especially the last
  two. I have taken the view that a theory is essentially a parsimonious, i.e.
as simple as possible, (hard for academics and other pedants) description of
what is known about a phenomenon at any given time. As such it is of course
constantly changing as new knowledge becomes available and also suggests where
new knowledge is needed. The ideal theory to me is a map in a geography book.
A map of , lets say the planet Mars, tells us simply what is known, what is
blank nad is updated as we discover more.... a theory in education should be
the phenomena of teaching and learning and the organization of those, reduced
to simple terms, or lines, or figures, or....???? is this too simple an idea?
is it not big enough to accomodate for example what you call "a position"?
Write  me... Michael Moore.

Subject: Planning: getting started

Well, here we go. I feel like someone standing on the top of a mountain
and shouting, without knowing if anyone is listening! (or even if
the message will carry).

First, welcome and thank you for your interest. I see my job as getting
discussion going, rather than instructing, although I will of course
be happy to pass on any information/guidance that I may have,with
regard to specific issues.

I'm going to start by asking you to follow some very simple but
essential procedures/habits. You will note I started with a
subject title, which has two parts: Planning, so people will
know which of the six conferences they are in; and Getting
Started, which is really the topic within Planning. It will
help everyone if you can all follow that format for the subject
title.

Second, please send only those messages through this conference
that you want to share with everyone; the first time you send
a conference message, please indicate very briefly who you are
and where you work/study/etc. I would like to know more about
you, and will be happy to talk 'one-on-one' about issues, but
if you want to do that and not share, please send me an e-mail
(address: tonyb@ola.bc.ca) rather than post it in the conference.
It would be useful to include your own e-mail address when you
send a conference message, because some people may prefer to
address the issue with you 'one-on-one', rather than as part of
the conference.

Lastly, keep your messages short! Break them up into different
messages with appropriate subject titles. For this reason, I am
stopping now, and will start on the topic itself in my next
message. In the meantime, if you would like to introduce yourself
to me, please send me an e-mail. OK, now let's get started.

Subject:      Re: MS Works & Windows

To those who responded to my inquiry about speeding up MS Works running under
windows, thanks for the replies.  The solution I have found (aside from the
logical one of purchasing a Works for Windows license) is to use the /r
startup parameter for Windows.

In the Windows manual it is indicated that windows can be fired up three
different ways.  The /r parameter starts Windows for non-windows applications,
another parameter starts windows for standard windows applications, and the
straight win command w/o a parameter starts Windows for windows applications
which are memory hogs (Lotus, PageMaker, etc).  By using win /r, I am able to
run Works under Windows with no problem.

The only problem is that I also use PageMaker, so if I want to use both
during the same session, then I have to bail out of windows and reload.
It is an imperfect solution, but acceptable until Works for Windows arrives.

I just received some information from the University of Oregon that looks
pretty promising.  They have a wide range of education technology grad
courses available.  The offerings aren't on-line, or I'd post them here.
If you think there would be any interest, E-mail me, and I'll see if I can't
post a brief synopsis on the programs available.

Subject:      Re: GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

I posted about a program at U of Oregon which wasn't exactly right.  The
program is actually offered by the International Society for Technology
in Education (ISTE) through the Oregon State system.  The professors
who offer the courses belong to a number of different universities in
Oregon and Wisconsin (Gonzaga U,U of Oregon,U of Wisconsin,W. Or. St. U).

It appears that all of the courses offered are Master's level courses.
They are as follows:
PageMaker for Educators
Planning for Computers in Schools
Telecommunications and Information Access
Introduction to Logo for Educators
Fundamentals of Computers in Education
Computers in Composition
Computers and Problem Solving
Introduction to AppleWorks for Educators
Effective Inservice for Instructional Use of Computers in Education
Computers in Mathematics Education
Introduction to Microsoft Works for Educators
Software Sampler I
Learning HyperCard and HyperTalk Programming

The courses are $95.50 per quarter credit hour.  If the class is taken
non-credit, tuition decreases 40%.  All assignments and communication is
done via E-mail (although personal contact is possible).

There is a lot more info in the catalog I have, but I won't waste
bandwidth.  For more info:

Subject:      graduate programs

Over the last week there have been several comments regarding graduate programs
in Educational Technology.  For those of you looking for information on graduate
programs I suggest looking at the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook.
The book contains three sections listing where programs are located along with a
short description of each program.  The three lists are: 1) Doctoral programs in
IT, 2) Masters Degree programs in IT, and 3) Graduate programs in educational
computing.  The lists are comprehensive and indicate a wide variety of options
for individuals wishing to pursue graduate degrees in the field.  I recommend
that potential students look carefully at the various programs before making a
selection of a particular program.  Each program has its own strengths and
emphasis areas.  The student needs to find a program that meets their needs and
interests.

We have both masters and doctoral programs at the University of Northern
Colorado.  I will be happy to send anyone brochures on the program if you will
send me your SNAIL mail addresses.

We use Sayette 480 with Mac LCs. It is a monochrome but works well. One
note of caution - it works best with LC using 13" monitors. If there
is a 12" monitor on the LC then the monitor will go blank when the LCD
is connected. Sayettes cost us about $1,000 + or - $100. Otherwise
I have found Infocus to be good if not expensive LCDs that work well.

Subject:      Info Tech, students across the globe

	CALL FOR ASSISTANCE FOR E-MAIL CONFERENCE FOR STUDENTS STUDYING

	INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN THEIR FIRST UNI YEAR


Greetings DEOS and EDTECH members. I am searching for colleagues to collaborate
with me in presenting a new subject at this University from July 1993.  The
subject is called Introduction to Information and Communication Technology and
will be available across faculties as a first year subject.

I am endeavouring to establish contact with a colleague 'out there' who has
comparable requirements and for whom the idea of having our students using the
Internet for discussion (and other)purposes is exciting and meritorious.

The subject is being written specifically for students of our Bachelor of
Information Technology and Communication degree (four year), though it can be
 taken by anyone.  The subject will present an historical perspective on the
move towards digitalisation including treatment of developments in different
countries eg, USA, Australia, Japan and England.

 From tom-toms and smoke
signals thru optical fibre and broadband networks the content will serve as an
introduction to IT for many students.  Fuller treatment of case examples will
be a feature of the subject and to this extent I am hoping to enable the
 students to become networkers conducting discussion with their peers across the
 globe.

Voice mail, video conferencing ATM's, EFTPOS, EDI and industrial IT machinery
 are among the applications that could be studied.  I am also very cognisant of
the human side of the IT picture and wish to introduce a variety of 'people'
issues in the subject.

If you see any benefit in  being involved in such a collaboration please email
me.  The planning for the subject is in the early stages and it would be nice
to tie down some of the loose ends.  I envisage the students being in contact
for some weeks to discuss both set and open topics and to have free range
 accessto the usual FTP and TELNET facilities in order to play 'detective' and
 to go
searching for a variety of resources on the net.

Please contact me via email at

I look forward to your responses

Subject:      Experiments in Cogn. Psych.

A Psychology faculty member asked if I knew a source for software
(Mac or PC) that replicates certain classical experiments in psychology with
student participants.  They thought that some such software was available from
Barb. Taverski at Stanford University ....  Any leads would be appreciated.
