I know I have asked a similar question before, but I would love replies =
to the following if you have time:
1. Do you have a language lab at your school?
If yes
2. What system are you using?
3. Is it totally software based, or does it also have hardware =
components?
4. Is it used in high school, middle school, or both?
5. On average, how many days per week does each language teacher use =
it?
6. Was content purchased with the system, or do the teachers create all =
their content?
7. How is it used - supplement to a regular class, independent study, =
as a class, other?
8. Does the language lab have the traditional cubical type setup with =
dividers separating students, or some other configuration?
9. How long have you had the setup?
10. Do the teachers seem happy with it?
11. Is the language lab used only for language lab or is it a multiple =
use lab?
Thank you for your time. =20

We would like to hear from schools who have found one POS system for both. Which system are you using at POS? How are you transferring the POS data to your billing system and what billing/SIS system do you use?
Are there any schools using RMS? Please let us know where you use it, and how you transfer the billing data.
Thank you.

I'm late to this thread, but I would strongly advise NOT changing to an =
archived-Word-document system. We use narratives instead of letter =
grades, and we used to use such a system: the problem was that Word =
documents are "dead" data, whereas an SIS or a database allow you to =
search, categorize, etc. Pulling up all the records for a particular =
student is much, much easier with a database/SIS than it is if you need =
to open six separate word documents...and that's just for starters. We =
just this year switched over to a database, and while the switch-over =
took some time and patience, it was definitely worth it.

About six years ago, as a faculty we began thinking about and discussing 21=
st century skills. We did some readings, including Learning by Heart by Rol=
and Barth. That book is actually more about school culture and the profess=
ion, but it was a good place to start because it affirms our work as educat=
ors and underscores the importance of personal and collective vision . We =
looked at a variety of national standards and the work of groups such as th=
e Partnership for 21st century skills.=20
After considerable discussion and debate, we brainstormed a long list of 21=
st century skills, literacies and habits of mind. We then did a red dot exe=
rcise in which each faculty member had six dots to place by the important =
items on the list. From that exercise, we arrived at the six topics the fac=
ulty deemed the most significant 21st century skills/topics for the school.=
They are environmental stewardship, global perspective, life skills, servi=
ce learning, diversity and differentiated instruction. Teachers were invite=
d to "follow their passion" (a Barth suggestion) and choose membership in t=
he group that most interested them.=20
Our next step was to write charges for each group. Again, all faculty and s=
taff members were invited to participate in this exercise. These study grou=
ps have now been meeting for the past three years. Many of them have made v=
isits to other schools and worked with outside consultants. Each group has =

These study groups have been engines of curricular change at the school. Th=
ey have led the way in projects such as the LEEDS remodeling of the Middle =
School and the expansion of our 20/20 NAIS award winning exchange with scho=

This construct of red dot exercises and study groups works well for the sch=

In the process of merging our Tech Plan into our Strategic Plan, we
identified several action items including developing social networking
guidelines (for faculty, staff, students, alumnae, trustees, parents),
copyright standards and protocol for teaching recognition and avoidance
of plagiarism, and a protocol for ethical use training along with the
training itself for all students. Note about the last item: Entry
grades 6 and 9 new student orientations include AUP topics; returning
students and their parents sign the AUP every year.
=20
If your school has social networking guidelines and/or copyright
standards and/or protocol re: plagiarism, or if you have suggestions for
good resources, please contact me if you are willing to share. Also,
what protocol do you follow for annual ethical use training? We are a
6-12 school with 1-to-1 laptops in grades 9-12.

I run an online community for finding global project partners:
http://globaleducation.ning.com/. We have over 3200 members from the US and
abroad and the group is comprised of K12 teachers, college and university
folks and many non-profit employees. If you post in the discussion forum
here, you might find some partner schools and there is also a sub-group of
people interested in exploring uses of Skype in classrooms:

Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: Basic Web design resources needed
The class will meet 5 times a week for an entire quarter with 50 minute
periods so I envision us learning basic html and looking at templates.
We will be looking into all possibilities for hosting so any input would
be appreciated. As stated in my original post I am looking for any ideas
regarding a purpose or audience for the finished projects.
Thanks!

I'm looking for some advice from schools who have web-based parent portals
where parents access grade reports instead of receiving them in print...
* Do you provide online logins to...
- - - Step-parents?
- - - Non-resident parents (the parent whose address is _not_ the primary
one the kids register with your school -- as in divorces/separations)?
- - - Spouses/significant others who live with non-resident parents?
* What do you do about providing logins to parents in sticky cases where,
for example...
- - - There's a non-resident parent who doesn't respond to the school's
annual "update" form; you may have an old email address but no indication
whether that parent is currently participating in the student's life?
- - - One parent says that the other does not have custody?
Thanks in advance,
Terry

Our IT department is considering how to best support users to increase thei=
r baseline technical proficiency. What training, support, or professional d=
evelopment activities have you found that users adopt most readily and find=
most helpful? We will incorporate your feedback into our IT retreat this F=
riday, April 2. If you reply to me directly, I will summarize results and p=
ost them to the list.
Essential Question
What IT practice or communication strategy will best motivate faculty and s=
taff members to take advantage of professional development, support, and tr=
aining opportunities available through IT?
Background
If each user on campus possessed a certain baseline technical proficiency, =
he/she would be more effective in the use of technology, be able to imagine=
new uses of tech in his/her field of work, and communicate more effectivel=
y with IT about his/her uses of tech. What can we do to improve technical p=
roficiency across the entire school? How should we launch an initiative to =
better build capacity while reaffirming that IT exists to be helpful to use=
rs?
Previous Initiatives
IT department structure: staff reorganization to be extremely responsive to=
individual support requests
Division visits: regularly scheduled appointments for an IT staff member to=
be present in a division
Summer training: tech classes based on a survey of faculty/staff interests
Knowledgebase: a set of self-service help articles available through a scho=
ol website
New ideas
Which would our users find most helpful? What ideas would you add to the li=
st?
* Run a student help desk (students helping others)
* Re-launch the knowledgebase, add video tutorials
* Identify and train =93super users=94 to provide peer mentoring within =
departments and divisions
* Promote =93just in time=94 training (a short, in-person training right=
when you need it)
* Encourage more peer exhibitions (show-and-tells within departments and=
divisions)
* Offer more basic skills training (Windows 7, Mac OS, Office suite)
* Encourage more use of in-application help menu
* Organize =93brown bag=94 lunches for training, sharing, and planning
* Hang posters around campus with common tech tips (e.g., =93don=92t sha=
re your password, like you wouldn=92t share a Kleenex=94)
* Conduct research internally to better understand our users and their n=
eeds
* Create internal =93user groups,=94 networks of CG employees with commo=
n tech-related interests
* [your ideas go here]

Is the focus on using webpages to share curriculum content or is the
focus on learning html and web design?
Using some of the web page software, even first graders can create
decent webpages without really having to know anything about webpages or
even technology. The focus is all on the curriculum, and the software
creates the pages for them.
If the focus is on webpages, do you want them to focus on design (the
non-technical part - how pages are laid out, size and type of text,
where images should do, best place to put in links, etc.) or on the
actual coding of webpages (the technical part)? If technical, do you
want them to code from scratch or use templates and be able to look at
code created by the program and change it?

I am looking for web page resources or book titles for a basic web design
curriculum. A ready made curriculum would be great. Both online creation and
free downloadable software will be considered.
We are on Macs, but could incorporate Windows if the need arises.
We want to learn basic web code and have students create a finished product.
Ideas for what realm or category to create pages would be most welcome also.
Perhaps students could choose a teachable page related to one of their
content classes. If any of you have assisted or been involved with this I
would love to hear of your experience.

Does anyone NOT use the same database or grading software report cards for pre-primary as for other divisions?
Do you have any comments on excluding the report cards from that division from the SIS?
Has anyone hit a sweet spot with pre-primary, early childhood, or non-traditional lower school report cards they'd like to share?
We're grateful for any thoughts.

We have had similar problems with Movie Maker and Flip video clips, so
the work-around of (my) choice is to add the AVI files in Any Video
Converter, convert to WMV, then bring into Movie Maker. With Windows 7,
I'm now using Windows Live Movie Maker which tolerates a wider range of
video formats including mp4 and avi. We'll see if we have problems this
summer when we roll out 150 new laptops with Windows 7 and see if the
Flips talk to this new version of Movie Maker. I'll miss Photo Story 3,
but Windows Live MM has some nice features, ex. Ribbon with contextual
tabs similar to PowerPoint, AutoMovie, some video editing. Nothing
compared to iMovie, however.
Hope this helps!
-C.D.

Subject: Flip Cameras on PC Network
Hi everyone,
We have 5 Flip cameras purchased to allow students and teachers to
create
video easily. However, I'm the only one in the building who can download
the
software and then download the filmclips and create videos. Any other
user
receives an error message that states they don't have the right to
download
the software. These users receive the same error message when trying to
download the pictures when the software is already loaded on the
computer. This suggests a straight forward user rights issue to me. When
I
approached our network administrator, I was told that Flip cameras can't
be
used on *any* network. Can some folks on PC/Active Directory networks
explain how they are using the Flip cameras especially with students? Do
your users have the rights to download this information? Has anyone else
had
problems with the Flips on networks? Is there a way to get the camera
AVI
files to be read by Movie Maker or another software?
Right now, under my login students create a mpg3 movie from the Flip
then
export it to their own files, import it into Movie Maker for further
editing. The fade transition in the flip videos is a bit cumbersome, but
it
works. However, one student used his own Flip minihd and that creates
mpg4,
which don't import to any of our editing software.
Thanks for your help.

I prefer to use the Flips as a USB drive. Anyone who can attach and downlo=
