Carol,
Our alternative school is one of 3 secondary alternative programs in our
district (we actually are a coopertive of 4 school distrticts).  We have
around 25 students enrolled per class,but not usually more than 17 attend
per class period.  It is extremely difficult to keep the on-going group
together with a sense of continuity; most of my classes are individualized
with limited whole-group activity since I have 4 grade levels and up to 6
subjects going on at the same time.  The irony is that our students actually
do better in classes that are teacher-directed (as long as we provide options
along the way rather than dictate most specific assignments).  As a school we
are working on offering experiential, active learning classes in the core
areas.  But the attendance is a big problem.

Unfortunately when students leave I usually have no notice and no time to do
anything with them except perhaps sign a withdrawal slip.  If I do know ahead
of time or have the time I try to talk to them to find out why they're
leaving, where they're going, and wish them luck (and stress staying in school 
until they graduate).  

Many of our students are 17 yr. old sophomores, so it is discouraging for them 
to be so far behind in credits.

for the last few years we have had 45 min. periods which I HATE!!  This coming 
year we are hoping to have two 55 min. periods and two 80 min periods.  We
encourage the students to earn quarter credits; they must do a certain amount
of hours of work to earn it.  The longer class periods will allow students to
get more done per class on the days they attend,and they should feel more
continuity and success by that alone.  Every year we evaulate and try out new
things when we think we need to improve!

What do you do with new students?  What kind of teaching situation are you in?
Julie

Not true.  The subject area message areas are available to students and  
teachers.  They must be used for the topic, and not for student chat.   
Students currently post poems, and discussions on books they are reading.
Both students and teachers are able to interact in an educational way.

Maybe you can get a parent or the PTA to donate a 2400 baud modem.  I have  
found 1200 baud modems for $19 in A+/insider magazine and we have had several  
teachers purchase them.  2400 zoom modems go for $70.

One of our 6th grades held a dance to by their modem.  Others have raised

Hi Linda,

I teach high school computer courses, is it something I could use as part of the curriculum on telecommunications?  Also, I would love to have my students communicate with anyone from Saskatchewan.  I teach in a school just outside of Boston, Massachusetts and most of these kids don't really know anything about Canada except it's north of U.S.A.  What do you think?
Hope to hear from you soon,   Thanks            Maureen

I think you are looking for this (and so are other people)

                               Usenet GateWays

                    How to send mail to/from the Internet

                               by David Dodell


Sending Mail from the Internet to FidoNet:

FidoNet is fully coupled into the Internet.  You do not need to know any
specific gateways, just address the message correctly into the fidonet.org
domain, and everything will be routed automatically.

FidoNet addresses can be addressed in the basic format of:

FirstName_LastName@pww.fzz.nxx.zyy.fidonet.org

ww= Point Number (not usually needed unless specific to a subsystem)
zz= FidoNet Node
xx= FidoNet Network or Region
yy= FidoNet Zone (Presently only 1 to 5 are valid)

Therefore, as an example, my name David Dodell, resides at FidoNet address
1:114/15.  My FidoNet Internet address is:

David_Dodell@f15.n114.z1.fidonet.org



Sending Mail from FidoNet to the Internet:

Now how to go from a fidonet node to a internet style address?  Just as
easy, however, you need to find a gateway on fidonet first, since there is
no automatic routing to internet gateways at this time.  For example, you
could use my gateway at 1:114/15 (See end for list of GateWays).

You would send a message to the user "uucp" at 1:114/15.

In the first line of the text, you put the internet style address, followed
by 2 returns, i.e.

The addressing is in the form:

To: user@site.domain

For example, to send to my bitnet account of ATW1H @ ASUACAD, the fidonet
message would go to "uucp" at fidonet address 1:114/15.

The first line of text in the body of the message would be:

To: atw1h@asuacad.bitnet

Or to my uucp address: postmaster@stjhmc.uucp

To: postmaster@stjhmc.uucp


Current GateWays:

  UUCP  1:114/15
  UUCP  1:105/6

Hope this helps,

Dear Julie Rosenoff,  New students every week!  What sort of alternative school is it ?  Your questionnaire sounds like it helps you zer o in asap.  I like the part about informing the kids about frustration - I think it must normalize the experience.  How many students do you see at a time in your class?  Personalizing and individualizing must be quite a challenge with the turnover.  Probably you have students leave pretty often, too.  Do you have any routines or rituals which you use for when they exit t
he class?  How do you keep the on-going group together so that they have a sense of continuity?        
     Your response to my note was generous.  Thanks for the information.  As you can see, one answer generates 5 questions!
          Best wishes, Carol Rundberg

Joan,
We have done and are doing similar content area projects both through the 
K12 Network and through our local virtual school network.  The 
activities available through National Geographic can be done in 
essentially the same way on the K12 Network but without the expense.  
We prefer to take the money we would have spent with NGK and instead 
put it into buying more modems and telephone lines for kids to use.  
The other part of the National Geographic program that does not 
impress me is the significant amount of time students are not online.  
With K12 Net or the VS-Net our kids use modems and telecommunications 
every day.  In my district we are promoting the development of locally 
designed and operated computer networks that can easily be modified to 
support our curriculum.  We are striving for full flexibility and 
control of the electronic environment instead of following some 
pre-packaged plan.  We would rather produce our own network than 
consume one that doesn't quite fit our needs.

Our school has its own K12 BBS in the library.  The Fido address is 1:3820/83.

It would be better if we used first AND last names.  Each of my students will have an account on the BBS at school, as will many others as the weeks go by. A proper account requires a first and last name.  If you try to send mail to one of them without including their last name, they probably won't receive it.

This is going to be GREAT!!!

                                                       Best regards,
                                                       Chris

Helen, Thanks for the reply re Ch11.
  I've asked my SYSOP, and he says that if there's nothing there it's
because there are no messages in it at this time.  Is that the case at
your end?  He had the whole Net closed for the summer, but has had it
opened for several weeks now, so it seems there should be SOMETHING in it!

  If there indeed are messages in that forum,is there anything else I can
do at my end?
  Thanks for your help!  ...Tom

Kathy, do you mean you want a botany text that contains a good tree key,
or just a good tree key?  I have several tree keys that I use in a high
school biology class for different projects...if that is what your inter-
ested in I'll email those directly to you.
