Hi Lynn ... Thanks again for your help in locating local BBS's for the class.  Each of your colleagues has two (or more) BBS's to investigate.  The report back should be most interesting.  The connection to EMC was successful, and I am confident that we eill have the Internet connection for demo.  I expect that portion of the class to take place on Sunday of the second weekend (Nov 8).  PLease join us if you can make it.  Talk to you later.... Cal

Hi...
My name is Dale Beasley. I teach junior high in a Catholic k - 8 school located in Des Moines, WA. I have basically taught math and science for the past 20 years there (total of 33 years teaching) and this year became  the computer teacher for all grades. Still teach 8th math & physical science, plus earth science to 7th graders (also English). We have a computer lab with a combination of 13 Apple //e's, //c's and Lasers (Apple compatibles). We have 1 Apple //e in my class room which we use for telecommuni
cating and forecasting weather.  We have just applied to a  BBS called Halcyon with a UNIX shell so we can communicate with Kidlink, KidCafe and KidArt in Norway. Hope to have a Mac in my room soon so my students can create some art work using KidPix so we can send pictures too. My grandchildren (Jessica Hanson, 8th gr. and Ryan Hanson, 6th gr) have pictures floating around the world in an art portfolio that was sent  out by Kid Art. If any of you have seen them, let me know.

By all means purchase a modem.  Currently 2400 zoom external modems cost

don't know.  I think we tend to do our own thing regardless of the others 
around us most of the time.  We certainly proceed to do whatever we feel 
needed in our lives and don't need the stimulus from others to continue nor 
do we need the reassurance that what we are doing is right.  We know it is!

I have interest in American States, hopeful Hawaii as well and just had a reply from an interested sole in the Netherlands.
Cheers  Jimbo Down Under.
ps.  I have not persued the Project Channel to date as the GEW has to prove itself to be substainable.  It is generating interest amongst some school groups which has been extremely pleasing to say the least.

  But what makes you stil interested in learning?  I understand the career

and your off and learning and answering crazy questions asked in another 
country....what makes all of us keep up with learning about people,

doing things and then applyiny these new ideas to teaching and learning.

Why stop at museums - there are some fair attemps made to apply this

     Dear Mr. Crawford:

     May I respond to you via Netmail?  Please forward me your address and I 
shall send you a "resume'" for my moderator position on Spanish/English.  It 
will probably be easier for us to communicate this way.  I am in class until 
2:30, central time, and then in volleyball practice until 4:00 or so...so 
our paths might not cross very often for phone calls.

     I am very interested in becoming a moderator for Spanish/English.  My 
Spanish fluency is a bit better than my computer fluency, but I do believe I 
can maintain integrity on communication.  I am especially interested in 
contacting Spanish native speakers to assist them in improving their command 
of English OR in placing them in contact with others who might help better 
than I.  I am lining up my own Spanish I students to contact pen pals. 
There are several students around the country who are also seeking pen pals, 
but they seem to be frivolous in their approach.  Are you seeking someone to 
help "police" the communications?

     At any rate, I did minor in Spanish and have taught three years of 
Spanish I courses.  One goal I have is to help other English natives improve 
their command of Spanish by sending and receiving out-of-class reinforcement 
from native speakers, and, as you stated, in turn to help native speakers 
improve their command of English.

     I could also request my sysop contact you as a reference of my 
moderator qualities and/or computerese.

     Hope to hear from you soon.

          Gary

Steve, welcome to the world of chaos.  In your teacher training Im sure that they would have told you about structing lessons to encourage early success.  With a poor self esteem this is going to be vital and with begin to address the "Im stupid" attitude.  Often we approach learning with closed questions, questions that have only black and white answers, ture/false , right/wrong.  This is low level thinking and doesnt promote learning in the same way as questions and problems that involve a selection of a





nswers inwhich any one of them are correct.    A bit like writing a story, "what do you think will happen next?" Any number of answers are viable and correct, there are no incorrect answers.  Have a look at you college for articles on meta-cognition or thinking about thinking as well as Learning how to learn.  Im sure you will find something.  But work on the open ended questions were every answer is viable.  And keep it simple to start with because if a child (or teacher) isnt use to this approach it can 





really become  a little dis heartening.
Cheers Jimbo Down Under.

G'day Don,

DK>It would be helpful if I could sign on to K12Net that evening and find
DK>messages from all over the world addressed to me and the
DK>Working Smarter gang. If you need a topic, how about _one
DK>sentence_ describing how to teach using telecomm. {very big

DK>In case anyone is interested, the "Working Smarter" inservices
DK>are designed to help teachers use a computer as a tool to work smarter,
DK>to do what has to be done, with less effort, in less time, and
DK>better than can be done without a computer.

Rather than state something myself, can I direct you and your
associates, to Channels 2 (MathsMagic) and Channel 11 (Global Village
News), in there you will see excellent 'real live' examples of what you
are seeking.
