Subject:      Job search ideas (Hong Kong)

A sincere thank you to the many people who contacted me directly regarding my
interest in returning to Hong Kong to work.  I thought I'd quickly summarize
what I learned to help others out with their job searches....

I received a few names from people, as I had requested, and learned something
about where to look on my own in the  future:

1) Check the subscriptionlist of mailing lists you're active in, there may be
a few friendly "lurkers" you have something in common with and can contact.

2) Check your local university for visiting professors from places you're
interested in.

3) Check with youralumni office for graduates from your program who are now
living in your target area (In my case, foreign  students from Hong Kong who
had returned home) - an idea given by a development officer of course ;-)

I also received other types advice, including friendly notes from people
recommending other places my skills would be welcomed (Got to keep an open
mind.) And established resources for people looking for jobs:

There is an "Institute on International Education" in NY that has lists of
opportunities for work in Hong Kong, and if your interests  lie overseas, it
may be able to help you as well!

Thank you again to all who wrote me. Please know that I am following up on
your generous leads (even if you don't hear from me directly).  And I hope
this summary of your "pearls of wisdom" are helpful for others.

Thanks larry....

what I have found to be interesting about this conference is the exchange.  By
offering different views, different worlds, I have learned or re-confirmed my
position.... so lets keep unpacking this stuff.. not for the sense of just
unpacking.... but for the sake of inquiry and social justice.  Lets agree to
disagree in the hopes that I'll get you to think as I do.....

Greetings,

Does anyone know of any university using the Falcon Software "dry lab"
Chemistry software and video material (either laserdisc or CD) as a replacement
for "wet labs" in courses for credit?  The Chemistry department here at BSU is
considering the option, but is concerned about giving credit for this sort of
simulation, along with some uncertainty about accreditation issues.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, either here or by email.  Thanks!

Subject:      Re: Workbooks or guides

I do not think that there is anything unethical in asking your students
to buy your book for your class because it does include the essence of
your thought.

I DO empathize, however, with students' feeling of exploitation because
their schooling is lining their professor's pockets with royalties over
and above the amount the professor gets paid for teaching the class.

I have written two books on MS Works (one for Mac and One for IBM) that
are recommended reading for my class in Educational Media.  I have decided
to compute the amount of royalties I earn here at our university from the
sale of my books and donate them to a scholarship fund.  My books are selling
elsewhere and those sales are based upon the merit of the book, not upon
my teaching the class where they are being used.

What do you think?

Subject:      Teacher competencies

     Last year, our school system developed and adopted a
comprehensive plan for the use of technology for instruction.
Because it was felt that teachers would use technology in the
classroom only if they were proficient in its use, a primary
emphasis of the plan is teacher training.  One of the objectives
is the establishment of levels of competence in the use of
technology for teachers and other staff.  We are now attempting
to develop a list of competencies and are interested in seeing
similar lists that are presently in use in other school districts
or are used as part of teacher training programs in colleges.
Is there anyone out there who can help?

   Announcing a new Listserv list for college and university teaching
   assistants around the world.  This list is for those students who
   help or assist the professor or lecturer in their classroom duties.

   University teaching assistants have a variety of responsibilities.
   The purpose of this discussion group is to give teaching assistants
   the opportunity to discuss the roles of being a teacher and a
   student.  Some questions to stimulate our conversation include:

      What kinds of teaching techniques do you use?
      How can you motivate students and stimulate discussion?
      How can you promote a supportive classroom climate?
      How can you set expectations for students that are high enough to
       challenge but not to overwhelm?
      How can you review for tests, write examinations and assignments and
       grade?
      How can you balance being a teacher and student?

   These and many more issues can be discussed in this teaching
   assistant discussion group.  Your ideas are encouraged.

   To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to:

      listserv@unmvma.unm.edu (or listserv@unmvma for Bitnet)

   and in the body of the message put the line:

You should consider the Question Mark Software. It seems to be very
versatile (many types of questions, possibility to import graphics,
to generate reports...). We haven't used it (we use "home made" software...),
because it could not handle (in August 1992...) digitized images in SVGA mode.
We have a demo disk, and the program seems very easy to use.
Question Mark Professional with Graphics Companion, Toolkit for
exporting reports and Europack (different languages) costs 450 pounds (with
a licence to distribute test delivery software, price for education in
August 1992, +- 800 $). Runs on PCs, Mac version under development (perhaps
available now...).

Malcolm,
sorry it took so long to respond to your query. I can highly
recommend "Ecodisc" produced by the BBC Interactive TV Unit,
published by ESM, Duke St, Wisbech, Cambs, PE13 2AE, England. Your
local distributor of CD ROMS should have it.

It's a hypercard based management game/role play where you are asked
to manage a nature reserve. One good thing about it is that the
manager must contend with pressure groups with an interest in the
reserve as well as the ecology of the reserve itself. The latest
version is system 7 compatible.

A recent message  from Judi Harris included the comment:

 "Recent estimates indicate that there are now more than
 50,000 classroom teachers from primary, middle, and
 secondary schools who hold accounts on the Internet."

Can anyone indicate approximately what proportion of teachers
are included in that estimate?  Has anyone researched the question,
or can someone estimate what the frequency is for those sectors
(primary, etc); and what proportion might be from beyond USA?

The information around the networks indicating what teachers are doing
with the internet is useful, but I would like to know a little more of
the context for what we see there.

Subject:      Re: Workbooks or guides

      J. Thiesmeyer suggests that it would be unethical to receive
royalties from the sale of a text being used by one's own students.
How does that work exactly?  Suppose that I write a text precisely
because I don't find anything on the market satisfactory.  (I take
this to be a condition of all new textbook-writing.)  The publisher
agrees that it is a worthwhile project and offers me 10% of net sales.

      (a) It would be silly, I think, for me not to use the text in
my own courses, since I designed it with my students' needs in
mind.  (b) It would be unwise for me to forego all royalties
from the sale of, say, 10,000 copies on the ground that my own 50
students are also using the book.  (c) Royalties are built into the
price structure of all texts.  Why is it ethical for others to receive
them but not me?  (We do accept payment for teaching; why not
a bit extra for the extra effort of writing a useful book?)
(d) The only practical way of avoiding royalties would be to
refund the $2 or $3 to each student in my course.  "Since we're using
my book, you get a cash rebate!"  This seems a little undignified
and gratuitous.  What ethical principles are at stake?  (One publisher
has *required* that I use the text in my own courses.)  Can anyone
clarify?

     Of course, a monograph would be a different story.

are not simulations per se, but rather a hypermedia/multimedia approach to
investigative science and research. It is an entire curriculum tool rather
than a supportive software package as well. Good luck!

Dear Sir:

        I only meant that after the teachers who orginally
resisted the new technologies (computers) when it was first
introduced in our system have for the most part adapted to
computers in classroom and now find them an invaluable part of
the education process. The reference to the others retired
simply meant that the ones who would or could not adapt were
for the most part close to "retirement age" or retired. They
were not forced out. I personally do not believe you can
force/make anyone to learn something they do not desire to
learn. I have encouraged many people to try it. Typically,
after they once tried it and discovered that it wouldn't blow
up or smoke wouldn't roll out of it; they generally cuaght on
to the many possibilities and uses. Most now find computer use
essential.

Could anyone recommend a database management program for Macintosh that

version of REFLEX for the MAcs, but apparently it was discontinued.

I have been using REFLEX and like it, but I've switched largely to a Quadra
700 and I am beginning to despair of the switch back and forth between it
and my 386 machine.
