[Technology 1184] AlternativesTaylor, Jackie jataylor at utk.eduFri Jul 27 10:06:38 EDT 2007
Hi Mariann, Thanks for posting the question about alternatives to attachments. I'm a recent subscriber of "digest format" - i.e. having my list emails bundled into one or two per day. I love the feature, but I get lost in the strand (as one might see why below, if it all comes through to the list). This message of mine is a reply to a digest. At the end of this digest, someone replied to a previous digest. And as you can see, without "snipping" the messages, it becomes challenging to sort through them to find the dialogues at hand (with my apologies to all!). I'm just worried that I might become disconnected from the community b/c of the time it will take me to sort through all of the replies, replies to replies, and replies to digests that contain replies from other posts. And I don't want that to happen. My question to anyone/all: Is it possible that we might alter our list practice a bit, such that we reply to the question or dialogue at hand, and delete the irrelevant parts? I hope that doesn't sound too particular, but I think it would make a tremendous difference for us devoted digesters. And, for those with institutional size limits on their email accounts, it would be a bonus. Sincerely, Jackie Jackie Taylor, jataylor at utk.edu -----Original Message----- From: technology-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:technology-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of technology-request at nifl.gov Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 9:33 AM To: technology at nifl.gov Subject: Technology Digest, Vol 22, Issue 13 Send Technology mailing list submissions to technology at nifl.gov To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/technology or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to technology-request at nifl.gov You can reach the person managing the list at technology-owner at nifl.gov When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Technology digest..."

I have gmail but I am pretty sure that's not necessary and that you can sign up for it. I don't have dialup but I do have a finite mailbox, and I really appreciate my groups like LM_NET (librarians) where attachments simply don't go through. I don't have to get off that list if I'm going away for a few days in the fear that my mailbox will be overloaded, as I do others. I upload things to my website and post links and I've loaned space to others (such as from LM_NET) who didn't have that access.

It's a web based course management system. You can put the files in categories or topics and anybody can download files or upload them to you also. The program does have to run off a server, but it was easy for me to install on our server. You can also use a hosting service such as hostgator.com they have moodle scripts that can be used. The program has a lot of power and flexibility and it's free, open-source. I don't know why organizations and schools don't use it more instead of using Blackboard and WebCT, which cost thousands of dollars. I'm using it internally for my school's courses. It's fantastic. Teachers can have things hidden only for them to see and other things are seen by the students. Mariann Fedele <MariannF at lacnyc.org> wrote: Thanks Barry.

The workshops were aimed at teaching beginning readers the five essential constructs of learning to read (NRP). I found the Thinkfinity Calendar to be the adult version of a common school practice "morning message". For example, today, July 26 is Carl Jung's birthday. Click the day on the calendar.? The summary of his life and relevance is written too high for beginning readers, but starts conversation about psychiatry, counseling, and mental health. Click again and we're off to lesson plans. There's an interesting memory game that flashes one word at a time (MSNBC). Then it explains what happens in the mind. This is short but dense and beyond a 9th grade reading ability. The lesson plan gets into false memories - and has a simple word assoc iation activity. "Do you think the word "sweet" triggers the same memory for everyone?" It was far more interesting than flash cards. Word recognition, vocabulary and science content all connected with an opening routine of "do you know what day it is?". The guide is a useful teaching resource when printed and has many things to do when the Internet is not an option. Jeri Levesque, Ed.D.
