lauram: Everyone loved them. That was really nice of you.
lauram: Hi Susan. Welcome!
Tim: You're welcome. :-)
lauram: Tim, Congratulations on being the new Nancy!
susanh: Greetings to All.
Bill: We loved our visit with you this summer.
lauram: It was great to meet you all.
Tim: Thanks. I have some big shoes to fill, but I welcome the oppportunity.
lauram: I know you will do well.
¥¥¥ Sharon has joined. ¥¥¥
lauram: Susan - Tim just got a new job at Sandia Labs in CA.
Sharon: Hi everyone
Tim: Half time, I still teach 3 classes.
susanh: Congratulations...What does the position involve?
lauram: hey, that a tall order. 3 classes is not that much less than a full load.
Bill: Actually, I get to take care of the LInC portion of Nancy's job in my spare time right now.
lauram: We are still a few minutes before 6, so go ahead and chat and introduce yourselves.
¥¥¥ Pamu has joined. ¥¥¥
Tim: I coordinate SUPER! and help out with LInCing to SUPER!, among other tasks...
lauram: Welcome Pam!
Tim: Diane is here,too, but Steve couldn't make it. Nancy might show up too.
¥¥¥ Mardean has joined. ¥¥¥
Tim: Diana
lauram: Hi Diana - Is Diana sharing a computer?
Pamu: Hi, glad to be here. Martha my partner in the project is also here.
lauram: Great - welcome Martha. Glad you could come.
¥¥¥ melliel has joined. ¥¥¥
lauram: Welcome Mardean.
Sharon: Great, I appreciate everyone being able to join us today.
melliel: Hello Everyone - sorry I'm late.
Tim: She's on her way. Hi to everyone we haven't met yet. Bill, Diana, and I are all previous LInC folks.
Mardean: Hi, Laura and all ...
Pamu: Martha says : My class is the one that did the africa project.
lauram: Welcome Mellie!
¥¥¥ Diana has joined. ¥¥¥
Tim: We're the Risk group.
Diana: Howdy gang!
Diana: Risky business is our game.
lauram: Hi Diana
lauram: I just thanked Bill and Tim for the great T-shirt and certificate
lauram: We really liked them.
lauram: It was also great to hear about how your LInCing to Super staff development went
Diana: I'm glad you like them.
Tim: And continues to go
Tim: Some Sandians are really getting involved in the projects and contacting the teachers now.
Sharon: Tim would your group like to start with your project?
Bill: We have a great group of SUPER! LInCers.
Tim: Sure, we'd be happy to.
Bill: Have people seen our project?
Sharon: They may not have. We can look at it now.
Tim: I don't believe it! people coming to chat unprepared! ;-)
Sharon: Do you want them to start with the presentation page?
Tim: That's a good place to start.
Sharon: Go to /ntep/f98/projects/sandia/present.html
Sharon: Let me know when everyone is there.
Mardean: I'm there
Pamu: I'm there
Tim: Wow! Great header.
Tim: Bill made it in Photoshop.\
lauram: I'm there
Tim: Not Photoshop, fireworks.
Wed Oct 27 18:09:40 1999
melliel: I'm there!
Sharon: Bill looks difficult to do, was it?
Diana: I'm here, there, where?
susanh: I'm there also.
Bill: Not in Fireworks, once you get the hang of it.
Sharon: Tim, Bill, and Diana do you want to give us some background first and then how the project went?
lauram: Diana - your sandia project presentation page.
Pamu: I never thought of linking my school web page to the project page...good idea
Diana: here
Tim: This project is based on a SEPUP kit called Risk Analysis. It is an extension using the indicators of engaged learning and best use of tech
Tim: The idea came from the SUPER! program at Sandia labs as a way to tie the science of the natl labs with the ideas of LInC
Tim: The three participants who piloted this site all used it as an extension and assessment for their ongoing classroom risk analysis activites.
¥¥¥ DianaII has joined. ¥¥¥
¥¥¥ Diana has quit saying: Diana ¥¥¥
Bill: It also related directly to our DARE Program in 6th grade and Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco awareness training in 4th.
Tim: I had students use this as a culminating activity and eye-opener following the set activities in the SEPUP kit. (I taught 8th grade science)
DianaII: I just switched computers.
Bill: We all came with a variety of different experiences from different educational programs at Sandia.
Bill: We weren't all SUPER! teachers, at least in the SUPER! porgram sence.
Tim: Ultimately, our classes were reepresented either physically or via telecommunications at a Risk Conference sponsored by Sanida Natl. labs in April, where the studetns got to hear from Risk experts from the lab and participate in several hands-on activitie
lauram: Sounds great. Did anything surprise you about how it went vs what you expected? Do you have any tips for others for when the use their projects with students?
Tim: to reiforce the concepts learned.
Tim: I was impressed with how ell my studetns were able to self-direct their investigations and research on line.
¥¥¥ DianaII has quit saying: Read error to DianaII[205.187.112.57]: EOF from client ¥¥¥
Tim: It definitely helped that they had thei own computer to use in the lab, and their connection was quick. Not always the case.
¥¥¥ Diana has joined. ¥¥¥
Bill: Our first time though the RISK project we found that we weren't able to complete all that we wanted to.
¥¥¥ speretz has joined. ¥¥¥
speretz: hi laura, sharon
Tim: Some "low achieving" students warmed to the project and its open-ended nature. They really like the freedom to chose their own areas to research and report on.
Bill: We were in a time crunch with student testing dates on state and local tests.
Diana: Sorry, I crashed. As I was strating to say, we are also from different degrees of comfort in computer usage
Bill: None of us ever got our student pages posted.
Bill: To the www.
Sharon: Hi Shelly, glad you could make it.
Bill: The highlight for my class was when they all got to participate in the Sandia conference through real-time video-conferencing.
Tim: This really was a pilot year for us too. I think we learned a lot about how we could improve the project.
Diana: That was a great cuminating event for the teachers and the students!
Sharon: Sounds like a great experience for all!
Sharon: Tim, how would you improve the project?
Tim: It was. My kids really appreciated the chance to see the labs and hear from real scientists.
Pamu: We were wondering how many students you took to the video conf?
Tim: I think I would have had the kids who had more computer skills create a website. I had them do a report rather than spend time showing them how to make web pages.
Diana: We had 10 fifth grade students from Edison school
Bill: My whole class of 33 participated from school by video conferencing with Sandia, the other 2 classes brought 8-10 students to Sandia.
Tim: I also think our resources links need fleshing out and perhaps imroving the availability.
Diana: The parents thought it was a facinating experience too.
Bill: We are working at improving our student rubric to be more user friendly to the kids.
Wed Oct 27 18:24:43 1999
Tim: (the parents got tshirts, if you were wondering, Laura ;-))
Bill: Also, a clearer top page.
Tim: We have a host of suggestions for our site, but haven't had the time to change it yet. for the most part.
Sharon: We all understand about not having the time.
Diana: We have also finaly excepted the fact that this project is not appropriate for lower grades (K-3)
Sharon: Diana, what grade level would you recommend?
Tim: Especially after the school year starts. Your groups are very brave...
Diana: 4th and up. Working with the web is too text dependent.
Tim: We struggled with ways to make it meaningful for the little ones.
Diana: We do not have the technology to have web pages read. There ius tech for reading print, but not for reading straight off the web
speretz: soon, it will happen
Sharon: does anyone else have any more comments or questions for Sandia?
Diana: But not soon enough for us
speretz: I haven't had alot of time to look, but do your kids do a health risk assessment?
Pamu: I thought your project was great when we saw it last year... We don't have the same kind of kits as you do ... I would really like to see them
Diana: That depends on the topic that the kids pick to research
Tim: Apply to SUPER! Want an app sent your way?
Pamu: Sure I'd like to see it ...What is SUPER?
Tim: We had two teachers from Chicago last summer (Sorry fror the gratutious plug...)
Bill: The goal is to help students develop the skills to assess any risky activity they may encounter is their future.
Diana: Or are interested in
susanh: Can you explain Super...I'm still confused...a somewhat permanent state for me.
Bill: And to recognize that even every day activities have an element of risk.
Tim: If Laura sends me your email.street addresses, I'll be happy to inform you about SUPER!
¥¥¥ Jill has joined. ¥¥¥
Diana: Hi Jill.
Tim: Applications are being mailed out as we sit.
Jill: Hi everyone.
melliel: Thanks Tim and Laura.
Sharon: Thanks Sandia, your project was great for everyone involved.
Sharon: We are going to move onto Shelly's project. Go to /lincon/chain/index.shtml
Sharon: And link to s
Sharon: Shelly's project from LInC project sharing
speretz: Is the link working?
Bill: Thanks. Bye from sunny (not really today) CA.
Tim: Thanks for having us. Please feel free to contact me at :tperrot@sandia.gov for SUPER! info. :-) Goodnight!
speretz: bye Sandia group
Sharon: yes, I just tried it
Sharon: Bye
Diana: Good to hear LInCers. Good luck
speretz: good, ourserver has been iffy
¥¥¥ Bill has quit saying: Bill ¥¥¥
¥¥¥ Diana has quit saying: Adios ¥¥¥
Sharon: Shelly's project is How Do We Inherit
Sharon: Let me know when you have shelly's project
¥¥¥ Tim has quit saying: Tim ¥¥¥
Sharon: Shelly, you have really changed the web pages from the first time I viewed your project. Looks great.
speretz: thank you...I get possessed sometimes
Pamu: What are we supposed to link to?
Sharon: If you are having problems linking from the Chainlinc page use http://www.sd205.s-cook.k12.il.us/projects/inherit/
speretz: or more directly at http://207.63.195.19/projects/inherit/index.html
Sharon: Thanks, Shelly
melliel: Sharon and Shelly - I'm reading through it now.
speretz: We are undergoing growing pains with our networking
Pamu: ok I see it
Wed Oct 27 18:40:02 1999
Sharon: Is everyone there?
Mardean: Yes\
Jill: I'm here. Shelly, di you find that most students use your suggestions or do they find a disease of their own?
speretz: about 2/3 use the suggestions...but the suggestions actually came from the students as I was developing the project
Mardean: What level of students were you working with? and science or health?
speretz: This was designed for use with the biology classes.
speretz: It has been used with the regular and honors classes.
Pamu: How did the students do with submitting all their work on the web?
susanh: Ok...I'm there.
speretz: There was classwork as well...at the time when I first started our number of Internet computers was very limited.
speretz: so the students were working on traditional biology labs and rotating in to the internet stations
speretz: mating yeast, probability, face lab
Pamu: How do you like teaching using the web... How is it different?
speretz: the online entries were great
susanh: What size class are you talking about with this arrangement? I'm assuming they are 9-10 grade.
speretz: 9-10 grade, 24-29 students in a class
speretz: The web allows me to give students more choice in determining their learning goals...key element of engaged learning
speretz: I could not have assembled all of the materials on my own. The students generated the questions that THEY wanted to answer.
speretz: Funny how it coincided with what I wanted them to find out.
lauram: very artful!
speretz: This year, my students have their own email addresses. At the time the students used my email address and I played postman
Pamu: How did the grading rubric work out?
speretz: Students also developed the grading rubric...I cleaned it up some. It made grading extremely easy.
speretz: Students knew what was expected ahead of time and had no trouble evaluating their own work.
speretz: 3 evaluations on the final project, self, peer, and teacher
speretz: regular evaluations for know/need to know, concept maps, journal entries
lauram: Shelly - do you have any tips for teachers who are about to run a project?
melliel: Shelly - this really looks great, did the kids get the project finished in three weeks? It looks like a lot of work to me. Just preparing the presentation could take a couple of weeks.
speretz: Running a project requires LOTS of time upfront. During the project it is easy.
speretz: The kids prepared their powerpoint presentations in about 4 days. Of course they lived and breathed computers...before school, after school, during lunch, etc...
¥¥¥ Jan has joined. ¥¥¥
speretz: but most students completed their work in the alotted time.
speretz: On the powerpoint presentation, it was best that they were limited in time.
speretz: Too many of the powerpoint presentations that I see in other areas are all bells and whistles and little content
Pamu: Shelly I applaud your ingenuity ... It was a great project and seems like a great way to teach!
speretz: I gave students a storyboard BEFORE the started their powerpoint presentations
speretz: I've been teaching physical science for the last couple of years, so I really haven't had a chance to use it, but others in the district are.
Mardean: The storyboard is a great idea for planning
speretz: It's a plot to get me to develop more projects.
speretz: Anyone up for the Mars Millennium Project?
Sharon: I know that this project has seen many changes, what are you doing next?
Sharon: Shelly our school is.
speretz: Are you taking advantage of the state funding??? And Adler's support?
Sharon: We are involved through NSFI IV
susanh: Shelly, we are doing the Mars Millennium project. Did you have something in mind?
Sharon: Yes and Yes
Pamu: We have the paperwork on the project... still looking at it
speretz: We are developing a wweb site for the Mars
speretz: Quickly..the required meeting is Nov 6.
speretz: Lots of stuff...class sets of robotix, Mars remote control vehicles
Wed Oct 27 18:55:09 1999
speretz: Spent time at the Understanding by Design Academy (ASCD) and got a good start at outlining the project
speretz: Lots of support from Adler
speretz: Most are not taking advantage of the resources.
melliel: Wo is Adler?
Sharon: Adler Planetarium and Museum in Chicago
Pamu: Any ideas about how we can get info on funding in NY?
melliel: Thanks.
speretz: Adler Planetarium--the will pay all transportation costs including admission and lunch for the students of the teachers involved
lauram: hey - three separate Linc groups working on the same project. cool.
Sharon: Mellie, check to see if a museum by you will support the project.
speretz: Video, Software (possibly GIS Mars landscapes), Publications
Sharon: Shelly, will they support teams outside of Illinois?
melliel: I was thinking of that. There's the Science Center in Baltimore and Smithsonian in D.C. Susan, what do you think?
speretz: Its a national initiative. It's just Adler is the partner for the state, city and federal here in Illinois
speretz: website is http://www.mars2030.net
Sharon: Great
speretz: free downloadable participants manual
speretz: kids plans go on microchip on next mars mission
speretz: We'll start in February
susanh: I'm sure some of these will be active...and Challenger is a big mover in the MM project.
speretz: Hillary Tulley shared her experiences at the Antarctic...strangely similar to mars.
speretz: She will kickoff our project in our building
Sharon: Before we go on to the next project any other comments or questions for Shelly?
lauram: could you send a message about this to ed-linc-all@fnal.gov ?
Jill: This looks lik a very workable project, Shelly. Thanks for sharing.
Pamu: A speaker from BNL is coming to our class to speak about his journey down under
susanh: I have about 5,000 Mars Millenium posters in my dining room...if anyone wants one.
speretz: Thank you for inviting me
Sharon: Thanks again for sharing. Great work.
lauram: So if other LinC people want to get involved, they could?
Pamu: We do Can you send some?
speretz: The contact person is Gwen Pollack at the state board of Ed
Jill: Me, too.
speretz: The deadline for participation has passed, but it may be negotiable.
susanh: If you will send me a snail-mail address via email ....calderone@sysnet.net, I'll get them out to you.
speretz: I'll attach the brochure (word format) and send it to Laura.
Sharon: Thanks Susan.
Sharon: Pam is next. Use the Chainlinc ONline home page. Project title is The Seed Connection. Let me know when you are there.
susanh: You are most welcome.
lauram: you should be able to use your BACK button
Jan: I'm there
Jill: I'm there
lauram: if not, it's at /lincon/chain/
Mardean: I'm there
lauram: the LInC Project Sharing link
melliel: I'm reading it now.
Sharon: Pam please give us a little background first.
Pamu: We wanted to explore how things grow with our 2nd graders
susanh: I'm there.
Pamu: We wanted to be able to change variables like water, light, pollution, soil, temp
¥¥¥ speretz has left. ¥¥¥
Pamu: We were on the web looking for hydroponic sites to buy materials when we found Peggy Bradley's site
Pamu: We e- mailed her about the global classroom and she helped us do a partnership
Pamu: with a school in Zimbabwe
Pamu: Our school is also ten minutes from Brookhaven National Labs... we are doing an NSF project with Karl Swyler there and he also assisted us in being the scientist in residence
Jill: What a wonderful opportunity for you and your students.
¥¥¥ Jan has left. ¥¥¥
Sharon: How did you work with the school in Zimbabwe?
Pamu: A university in Washington donated a refurbished computer to africa and we paid the postage.
susanh: Wow! What an incredible opportunity for both schools.
Sharon: I agree!
Jill: Did you study the cultural diferenece as well during the project?
Pamu: We were supposed to use the internet but things happen and they had no electricity so the principal of the school had the computer in her home. first we wrote snail mail
Mardean: Has your contact with the Zimbabwe school continued beyond this project, too?
Pamu: which had a turn around of about 4 months then we used floppys
Wed Oct 27 19:10:32 1999
Pamu: Yes It was so different they really grow the hydroponic food to survive. We are still in contact as my class has looped and we are continuing the project.
Jill: Amazing!
Sharon: Definitely a great opportunity for you and your students.
Pamu: The principal in Zimbabwe Veronicah has just gotten her BA
susanh: Do you plan to continue the relationship? I would think there are so many rich connections to work with!
melliel: Pam. This is really great. Susan and I are involved in JASON again this year, and one of the primary research units is in Hydroponics. The Global Classroom would be the perfect tie-in.
Pamu: We are also see you in the chat rooms
Pamu: We were so happy to see the Jason connection
Pamu: Our hydroponics grew and grew and almost put us out of the classroom
lauram: what do you mean?
melliel: Pam is our email address still Purso1@ix.netcom.com
Pamu: We compared regular soil growing with hydroponics... The hydroponics especially lettuce surpassed the growth of the others.
Sharon: Were you able to eat what you grew?
susanh: Have any of your students visited Epcot and the huge hydroponics research area there? They have a good deal of materials available for the classroom and the kids can connect with the effort of researchers they may not think about.
Pamu: Yes it is but they will be turning it off soon so you can e- mail me at just Purso@ix.netcom.com
Pamu: I have been to EPCOT but not any of our students. We had some of our veggies every day for lunch
melliel: Thanks! You'll be hearing fromme very soon.
susanh: How neat!
lauram: any suprises when you ran the project? (besides the technology surprise) Anything you would do differently?
Pamu: Oh yes...
Pamu: our students are just beginning to learn how to investigate a problem, use a computer, and then there is all the organization we needed to do.
Pamu: We also tried to make watering devices...and did they ever LEAK!
lauram: oh boy :-)
¥¥¥ troy24 has joined. ¥¥¥
troy24: # Appears as ANNA
lauram: Jan (I think) told me the first time they ran a project, the students wanted to be told exactly what to do (spoon fed) they resisted being student-directed.
¥¥¥ Eileen has joined. ¥¥¥
Sharon: Pam, is there anything you would change the next time you do the project?
Pamu: We weren't able to get the students to understand the scientists answers to the questions. Karl wrote and said that the planet didn't have a tilt... Hard for them to understand.
Eileen: # Appears as ANNA
lauram: so they needed a "translator" to help explain things.
Pamu: We need to change the part about going to EMO.... We need to firm up this part of the project. It was the first time these students did inquiry science but when they got going we couldn't stop them.
Sharon: Your second graders may be potential scientists from this experience.
Pamu: Or we need to do mini lessons on seasons
lauram: It is encouraging that once they are over the hump they want to continue
Pamu: We are really hooked on inquiry science for our kids.... we are also linking it to our literature.
Sharon: Great idea to connect the subjects.
melliel: Pam. Will you be doing the hydroponics part of the JASON Curriculum? Seems like you would be an excellent resource to the entire network, but especially the primary teachers.
Sharon: Does any one have any further comments or questions for Pam?
Pamu: Now we have eight classes doing different inquiry science projects.
Jill: Those connections are so important.
lauram: that is great!
susanh: That is so great! They will make so many connections...and there learning will be many fold !
Pamu: We can't wait to do the hydroponics at Jason We are already collecting the jars...
Sharon: Keep in touch about what is happening with your students.
melliel: Super!
Wed Oct 27 19:25:53 1999
Pamu: We have also expanded outside our own school to the other three elementary schools they are starting to do inquiry science... We ran a class this summer
¥¥¥ troy24 has left. ¥¥¥
Sharon: Thanks Pam for the update on your project. It sounds like all of you will benefit.
Sharon: Mellie and Susan are next with CheSSie.
lauram: Thanks Pam!
Pamu: Thanks for listening... we can always use help from all of you who have done this before.
Sharon: Again go BACK to the chainlinc home page.
Sharon: Let me know when you are there.
Mardean: OK
susanh: I'm there. :>)
Eileen: Hello everyone sorry I'm so late
melliel: I'm on CheSSie too.
Eileen: I'm here
Sharon: Hi Eileen. You can join us with Susan's and Mellie's project
Jill: I'm there.
lauram: Eileen is from Michigan. Mardean from NH, Mellie from Maryland, Susan from D.C. Jill, Sharon and I are from IL, Pam is from NY.
susanh: Hello to All!
Sharon: Susan and Mellie would you start with some background info.
Eileen: thanks
susanh: Ok.
susanh: I'm a middle school science teacher; Mellie is upper elementary GT. We both are regular participants in the JASON Project.
melliel: When we started our LInC Class, we were looking for a means of tying together some loose ends rather than creating something brand new. We had both been involved in JASON for many years, and I was a GLOBE Teacher;
susanh: We wanted to organize a lot of the watershed work that we were doing with JASON, make it focussed on the Chesapeake Bay and use our JASON connection to share our studies with others in our watershed that also use JASON.
susanh: I hope that makes sense...Mellie?
Pamu: I'm there
melliel: therefore we looked for a way to bring the two together.
melliel: Now, we'll take it from the end.
melliel: Laura has been asking everyone if they have any tips for teachers about to run a project.
lauram: guilty :-)
Pamu: What is a GLOBE teacher
susanh: We started with our respective classes. I'm urban, Mellie suburban.
susanh: My suggestion.....make sure you get the support of your principal BEFORE you invest time, effort, etc.
lauram: good point
melliel: 'With that in mind, I would like to offer one hold fast tip - You need to have your principals support and agreement before trying to run a project. It took us the entire spring to write CheSSie. Plan was to implement it the next year.
Sharon: Mellie good tip and definitely needed.
melliel: Major problem. When I returned to school in September I found I was teaching three math classes, one reading class, and a resource to teachers in the building. My E.T. or Research Classes were a thing of the past. Hence, we couldn't do CheSSie.
susanh: Consequently, I spent time getting things approved...things I thought I had been cleared, were forgotten.
lauram: that's very dissappointing :-(
melliel: Update. We've dusted her off, and think we have a firm plan on implementation this year. I have a new principal and I'm teaching my research classes. Susan will explain our plans for this year.
Sharon: Susan, that would mean delays and especially if your students were anxious to start the project.
Sharon: sometimes you lose them
Pamu: We also needed our district upper level support and had to write grants for money.
susanh: Yes. Parts of the project have been done, but not the way we had planned. I am in a better situation now...principal wise...and things are in full throttle.
susanh: We have made the connections with other JASON schools in the Chesapeake Bay area and are corresponding with them via email. We will be posting and sharing data shortly!
¥¥¥ Pamu has left. ¥¥¥
Jill: I teach 7th grade/ science. We have been active in stream monitoring in our (Chicago) area for the past 9 years. It's a great area for the kids to use their lab skills.
Sharon: Will the data be available for anyone to see?
melliel: Jill. Have you been exchanging data with the other schools to get a better look at your watershed?
¥¥¥ Pam has joined. ¥¥¥
susanh: That reminds me...in my new school, I am using the project with the 7th grade. The original plan was developed for the 6th grade. This has actually been a good move content-wise.
Wed Oct 27 19:41:18 1999
Jill: Our data is sent to a data base with the Du Page County Forest Preserve that records data from all over the state of Illinois.
susanh: Do you available for anyone in the Chesapeake Bay watershed? or anyone anywhere.
melliel: Sharon. The data will be available for anyone in the JASON Network to see. We can probably figure out a way to get both you and Laura in if you would like.
Sharon: Susan, Anyone anywhere. Mellie, yes, I would be interested in your findings.
melliel: Pam. Will you be doing the Watershed Project?
lauram: I'd be interested to take a look - if it's not a lot of work for you to do this
susanh: We are also hoping to do a video-conference once all the re-wiring is complete in my building.
Sharon: Susan, I would appreciate being a lurker if I can (also my students).
Pam: Yes, we did one last year at a local Long Island site... This year we want to do one locally.
susanh: Sure..I'll let you know when everything is in place. The first conference...and you must understand that this will be a first for both classrooms, will be with a school in northern VA and a school in the SE quadrant of Washington, DC. I'm hoping Mellie
Pam: We have salt, brackish, and fresh a good mix for our students.
susanh: will find a camera to use so she can join in.
melliel: Sharon. Perhaps we can get your class involved. I'll check out a few things and email you.
Sharon: Susan, thank you in advance.
Sharon: Mellie, sounds great. I appreciate you checking for me.
Sharon: Does anyone have any further comments or questions for Mellie and Susan?
Jill: It sounds like you've capitalized on a great opportunity. Good luck
Eileen: Looks very interesting! I need more time to really understand it
Pam: We have found that the children love the water investigations.... I hope we see your results so we can learn from you.
lauram: All the projects shared today are great.
melliel: Pam. We'll all learn from one another.
Sharon: Thanks Susan and Mellie, I am looking forward to hearing from both of you.
Sharon: Next meeting will be on Nov. 17th. Check out the logs and info at /lincon/chain/
Sharon: Hope you enjoyed tonight's chat.
susanh: Many thanks to all of you...it has been very enlightning.
Jill: Thanks, I did.
Eileen: Thanks
lauram: Your projects will be good examples to show for folks working with other teachers as well as their own students.
melliel: It was GREAT! Thanks for having it.
lauram: Thanks everyone.
lauram: Thanks Sharon for arranging it too.
Sharon: no problem. You are welcome
Eileen: Bye
¥¥¥ Eileen has left. ¥¥¥
Jill: Goodnight.
susanh: Sharon or Laura, is there any time when we can meet with others for chats using this site...I mean others who are on tonight...not people outside of LincC
Pam: Thanks everyone for all your thoughts. I'm glad to hear others are doing the same things we are... sometimes we feel isolated good to hear all the great projects and we know how much time it took!
Sharon: Pam, I agree.
Sharon: See you all on Nov. 17th
lauram: Sure - anytime. Just let me know ahead and I will make sure the chat server is up.
