Subject: Discipline in Schools
Dear List,
For those who are involved in discipline will enjoy the explanation
of an approach that promotes responsibility by empowering students to
act appropriately--rather than the usual approach of teaching towards obedience.

BEEP GIVES DEVELOPERS A BREAK FROM REINVENTING THE WHEEL
O'REILLY PUBLISHES "BEEP: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE" BY BEEP'S CREATOR
Sebastopol, CA--If you ask author Marshall T. Rose what is really new and
innovative about BEEP (Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol), he'll say,
"Not much." As Rose explains in his new book, "BEEP: The Definitive Guide"
(O'Reilly, US $34.95), BEEP is a toolkit that can be used for building
application protocols. Its goal is simple: BEEP allows a protocol designer
to focus on protocol details while BEEP handles other details, such as
framing messages, encoding data, negotiating capabilities (versions and
options), negotiating connection release, correlating requests and
responses, and more, and finally, integrating all these things together
into a single, coherent framework. The beauty of BEEP is that it takes care
of all these things. As Rose says, "That's not really innovation, but it's
really good news if you're already familiar with the building blocks that
BEEP uses."
Historically, when different engineers work on application protocols, Rose
explains, they come up with different solutions to common problems:
"Sometimes the solutions reflect differing perspectives on inevitable
tradeoffs; sometimes the solutions reflect different skill and experience
levels. Regardless, the result is that the wheel is continuously
reinvented, but rarely improved."
Rose goes on to say, "For each problem, there are usually two or three good
solutions, and while individual tastes may vary, the sad fact is that you
can make any of them work if you're willing to put in the hours. But why
put in the hours if they have nothing to do with the primary reason for
writing the application protocol to begin with? Isn't there something more
productive that you'd care to do with your life than design yet another
framing protocol?"
BEEP gives network developers what they've long needed: a standard toolkit
for building application protocols quickly and conveniently. It integrates
the best practices for common, basic mechanisms that are needed when
designing an application protocol over TCP. Written by BEEP's creator, this
book introduces BEEP, explains the concepts underlying the BEEP protocol,
and demonstrates how to use the BEEP implementation in Java, C, and Tcl.
The book shows how to build several working applications that use BEEP as a
transport, including an implementation of the reliable SYSLOG protocol and
an implementation of a BEEP transport for SOAP.
Standardized by the IETF in 2001, BEEP is being used worldwide by different
groups of developers for SOAP exchanges, intrusion detection, instant
messaging, network auditing, remote calendaring, and secure credential
exchange.
"BEEP: The Definitive Guide" will be an invaluable asset for anyone who
wants to learn to use this new tool, including designers who are new to
BEEP and want to put it to use, as well as developers who want to use one
of the open source APIs for BEEP.

The IMAGINE MARS PROJECT is launching.
Due to popular demand, the Mars Millennium Project is being re-launched as
the Imagine Mars Project by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) in partnership with the National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) on Space Day 2002.
Building on the success of the Mars Millennium Project, the Imagine Mars
Project is a national arts, sciences and technology education initiative
that harnesses America’s fascination with space and leads young people to
work together with educators and civic leaders in designing a Mars community
for 100 people.
As part of the Imagine Mars Project students explore their own community and
decide which arts, scientific and cultural elements will be important on
Mars. Then they develop their ideal community, from an inter-disciplinary
perspective of arts, sciences and technology.
Sign up today to become a member of the Imagine Mars Project Community at
<http://ImagineMars.jpl.nasa.gov> Follow the link to sign up for the Imagine
Mars Project e-mail newsletter, which will be sent to you and contain
project news and updates, news from Mars and other informative features.
As the Imagine Mars Project launches, we will sunset the listserv and Web
site developed for the Mars Millennium Project, so, if you are a member of
the Mars Millennium community, this is the last correspondence you will
receive until you sign up for the new newsletter. In order to receive
further information about the re-launched project, you must visit
<http://ImagineMars.jpl.nasa.gov> and request the newsletter.
See you on Mars!

To give a good, complete answer would take more than an e-mail. However, I
recommend Vincent Flanders' book, Web Pages that Suck. Also, I've written
a book on the subject, The Visual Learner's Guide to Web Projects, that
you're welcome to download for free.
In fact, all EDTECH members are welcome to download a free copy as well.
Got to give back to the list:)
Just let me know off-list that you'd like one, and we'll set you up with a
download.

Short description of the presentation
Kanji are Chinese characters used in the Japanese language. It has been a
challenge for learners to learn and teachers to teach. Kanji can be
taught by teaching the components that make up the kanji - there have
been various names for these components, such as radicals,
elements, simple kanji, primitives. In particular, kanji can be taught by
teaching the components BEFORE introducing kanji that are in the chapters
of a textbook.
What is going to happen?
Scott's paper is at
