    Lucy, is this the same affiliation as the Uni High School? A group from my high school is planning a visit there for next fall.
  • Lucy Gray

    Hi Carolyn -

    We're the University of Chicago of Laboratory Schools, informally known at the Lab Schools. Our high school portion is commonly known as U-High. There's also a lab high school at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana that might be known as Uni High.

    Hey Lucy- I eventually had a moment to add a little more to my Ning page. I see that Steve has put my video on the video page here which is very cool.

    I am too shy though to add him as a friend ;-)

    It is a pity that I can't access Ning from home- as its turning into winter in this part of the world it is getting to cold and dark to stay too long after school is over.

    I am keen on all sorts of global collaborations so we will have to keep in touch.

    Cheers

    Allanah

    Hi Lucy, I sent you an invitation to connect on LinkedIn, 4/29/2007 Never received reply. Perhaps it is in the LinkedIn inbox. I found there, today, an old request from a friend. Invitations usually are forwarded directly to my email.
    My LinkedIn url is in my profile and blog

    I am very impressed with your blue friend, loRl. I noticed you are at the UC lab school. Do you know Dr. Jerry Becker? I have been on his math listserv since the late 1990's.
    I bet your work there is pretty exciting.
  • samccoy

    I have been there myself, especially at the beginning of a school year. Your blue friend that you are standing next to in your profile picture ;) Have a great day!

    Hi Lucy,

    I just wanted to thank you for getting me to join Ning (even though you didn't know you got me join Ning). I was responding to your invite for Chicago University group...I'm not sure if I ever really joined that one but ended up in School 2.0 with you as my first friend. I knew about School 2.0 before but never felt the need to join.

    Now I love this site and I'm setting up Ning networks for teachers in my school district. It just occurred to me that wouldn't have happened without your original invite. Thanks again!
  • Jayme

    Thanks for the tip about classroom 2.0. Like Matthew, who commented below, I had heard about it but never investigated.
    I really enjoy your friday 5 newsletter, as well.
    Thanks for your efforts!
  • Andrew Pass

    Hi Lucy,

    I stopped by and was reading some of the stuff you've got here. It looks really interesting.

    I've been thinking about trying to do some more stuff with collaborative lesson plan development. Do you think this might be a place to do that?
  • Daniel Bassill

    Hi Lucy,

    I lead a volunteer-based non-school tutor/mentor program in Chicago and a Tutor/Mentor Connection intended to help tutor/mentor programs be available in all of the high poverty neighborhoods. Such programs can be great partners with teachers and schools as they expand the network of adults helping students build career aspirations and the learning skills and habits needed to achieve those aspirations.

    I encourage you to browse the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org web site which is a library of links to tutor/mentor programs, and to ideas that people might use to make programs more effective, and/or more available.

    I hope we can connect since we're in the same city, and since the University of Chicago is the major institution on the South Side of Chicago, where there are huge pockets of poverty, but few highly performing schools, and few high quality tutor/mentor programs.

    Hi Lucy -

    I wanted to touch-base with you. My name is Mike Bryant and I'm with the Discovery Educator Network. I just left a message in the discussion board for classroom2.0 conference dates here in Chicago. We are planning a two day, regional conference now for the Chicago area. I wanted to see if there's a possibility for us to work together, having the conference dates lead into on another and/or at least a cross-promotion. Contact me when you have some time, I'd love to be able to connect our two networks. Thank you, Mike
