I don't know how far Gordon Benedict is from you, maybe he will pack up the Holiday Whimseys for you and pass them on to you in a file or some-thing.

Greetings!  We at the Adult Education Center in Billings, MT, are now in the process of looking at integrated computer systems, i.e. Jostens, Wicat, CCC, etc.  Our students range in age from 16 to 60+ with academic levels ranging from nonreaders to college.  If anyone has had experience with any of the above systems, will you please let me know your opinion about such programs?  Do you have a preference?  What types of things should we be aware of as we look at these systems?  Please send all of your ideas
 to me by 10/1/92. Thanks!  Norene Peterson, Adult Education Center, Billings, MT

Hi Robin.....

 RB> I have a small rural Primary school near Dunedin, New Zealand and have
 RB> been given a grant to explore the use of CD-ROM for a. accessing
 RB> information for my pupils b. accessing information for local High School
 RB> students who live on farms c. On line access for children in another
 RB> school. We have achieved all of these and as I have to write a report, I
 RB> would welcome comments from anyone else who is using CD-ROM at the primary
 RB> level (8-12 yr olds) and suggestions of interesting projects which have
 RB> been used. Our snail mail address is  Taieri Beach School, R.D.1,
 RB> Brighton, Otago, New Zealand. We have used the Software Illustrated
 RB> Encyclopedia mainly but have also used Mammals, Microsoft Bookshelf, and
 RB> lately have had great fun with Mixed up Mother Goose. Robin Bain

        It's encouraging to see that somewhere in the world there is funding for experimentation of this sort.  We are in the process of developing a lab using grant money from our lottery foundation...  where there's a will there's a way.  I would love to get a copy of your report or at least input from you on the viability of the program and why you see it as a necessary part of your teaching. (If that's the case...)  Good luck with the input.

Chow for now ....

James.....

at The Tele-Forum Network and I forwarded it to you in this conference.

Your reply was addressed to me, therefore I guess I must have confused
you with the forwarding thing. Anyway, I have taken your reply and

I checked for you and found out that UNIX is very difficult to 
understand.  The UW has a 5 full-day course to explain the system, but 
it's not enough to really understand.  You will be able to do some 
things, but understanding it takes time.  My husband claims that the 
problem is not the level of difficulty, but there is a lot to learn, so 
it's the amount of time that is the problem.  The 5 days is an introduction, but 
there's    nothing like experience.  Do you have a lot of time? Ha,

I will have an ESL/LEP college class at the end of September.  It is 
low-intermediate level and would love to have them communicate with a 
4th grade class.  Their English is limited, but they can make themselves 
understood--they need practice; that's the point.  they are bright and 
can give wonderful, REAL info about their countries. I don't have the 
list now (of countries), but  can plan now if you want.  I usually get 
people from Japan, China, Taiwan, maybe Middle East, and Southeast Asia. 
 They are a combination of foreign students, refugees, and immigrants. 
Oh yes.  I usually have some Koreans too.   I would love to do something 
with you, but it will take a month, I'm sure, to get everything ready to 
go.  I have to show them how to use the system.  Please respond.

    Carol Hi,

 On [Thursday August 20 1992] You uttered to All :

 CR> * Original Area: EDUCATOR
 CR> * Original To  : All (1:321/110)

 CR>      I am interested in learning more about how teachers accommodate new
 CR> students in their classrooms.  When you find out that you are going to
 CR> have a new student in your class, what questions do you want answered?
 CR> What information do you consider necessary, useful, gratuitous but
 CR> interesting about the child and his/her situation?  How do you like to get
 CR> that information?  What do you NOT want to know about a child, at least at
 CR> the beginning of your relationships with him/her? Carol Rundberg
    Well Carol,you asked alot of interesting questions.....
    1st,When new student enters the class you don`t attack him with rain of
    questions,you must give him a bit of a time to adjust to the vicinity...
    Your attitude to the student should be delicated & nice. Let him feel that
    he`s enjoying talking with you. You have to learn quick as possible about
    his character,& learn his liabilities,superiorities....
    About what necessary & useful ? This is not a computer! - Now about his
    situation this is almost the main thing that you should know. Where did he
    grew up,who are his parents,etc....
    You asked how to get all this information ? - As a teacher you must have
    learned a bit of psychology,so you starting with a bit about yourself,not
    too much that he won`t get the feeling that he`s "above" you,& you ask him
    gradually (step by step) about himself....
    About the things that you don`t want to know... well,there is NOT such
    thing "NOT to know",you must know your student by heart,& on the best side
    that you can. You can`t afford to yourself an incident that one day the
    student will do something that you never expected,& in that case if you
    don`t know about this little liability you might NOT know what to do....

    For the END of the msg,you should be over the process as fast as you can
    BUT on the BEST side that you can. If it takes too long,never mind you MUST
    go on & continue the "knowing the student". There`s a book about this thing
    called: "The Game that people play,& people that being played by the game."
    I think that this book can`t be reached in US,but I`ll try to send it to
    you,if you want by writting your address in your next reply.

    Yours....

Not at all, Jim. Students correspondence can be carried out in the student chat echos. You are correct in your understanding.

My msg, to which you are refering, I presume? Says "Essays, poems, short stories and the like". I don't see how you can get 'students correspondence' out of that.

Keep writing!  :-)      This is the Language Arts Echo......

I need your ideas. I am in the process of writing a grant to get 
money for 
the hardware and  training, for students in my school district who 
have a 
physical handicap to use local Bulliten Boards . Most of the 
students I am 
focusing on are in wheelchairs and use computers presently for their 
school work. They have intrests in creative writing and architecture 
and 
computers. I am looking for ideas regarding how the Bulliten Boards 
would 
be useful to them to put into the rational of the grant. (examples: 
increase 
accessability to their peer group without having to deal with 
architectural and transportation barriers. )  PLEASE WRITE BACK IF 
YOU 
HAVE OTHER IDEAS
