PROGRAM NEWS++++
- By
now you should have received your Assignment #2 packet. Don't forget to put
your papers in your green notebook. Please email Kathleen directly
(kkelly@the-aps.org) if you haven't received your packet by Friday.
- This
message is coming to you via the 2004 RT listserv. On the 2004 RT website
(http://www.the-aps.org/education/2004rts/listserv.htm), you'll find more
information about the list serv as well as the individual email addresses of
all of the 2004 program participants. Please check your own listing and email
Kathleen if you have corrections. If you want to email a 2004 RT directly, use
her/his address from this list.
A
little more about List servs:
- If
you receive an email message "From" an individual
(kkelly@the-aps.org, for example) and it is addressed to "Research
Teachers" <2004rts@lists.the-aps.org>, then it has come through this
listserv and everyone has received it.
- For
your outgoing messages, be sure to check the "To" box before you hit
"Send." If it says "Research Teachers"
<2004rts@lists.the-aps.org>, then your message is going to the entire
listserv. If you want to send to just one person, delete the address in the
"To" box and cut-and-paste the individual's email address that you
want to use.
-
Tomorrow, Assignment #1 is due.
The
components of Assignment #1 include:
* The
Bead Activity (Bead Posters are due at the Forum in July. Make sure your
posters are easy to pack!)
* The
online Discussion at the Project WISE site (Activity 1). Please add a minimum
of 3 comments.
* The
online Reflection at the Project WISE site (Activity 2)
If you
have questions about Assignment #1, please email Kathleen directly
(kkelly@the-aps.org). The Discussion is going great - if you haven't read
through it for a while I encourage you to do so...feel free to add more
comments!

RT CORNER++++
A note
from one of your mentors, Kris Clements (Frontiers 2000):
"Enjoy
the assignments! They made me
think about my teaching more than I had done in years. I still go back and read them to
monitor my teaching and where I wish to go with it."
As
always, feel free to contact any of us in the Education Office with questions,
suggestions or concerns.
Best
regards,
Kathleen
