Re: [school-core] Next public announcement

[David Bucknell <david@members.iteachnet.org>]

Yes, I suggested that we announce acomplishments of members. 

<<Despite lots of planning, we managed
to overlook
the fact that most of these news sites/orgs/papers do not take press
releases, but articles based on them. So, I think we might do well to try
for a press release a month announcing collective/individual achievements
and attempt to get articles written about those achievements. That way,
schoolforge itself wll garner weight as having begun to fulfill its
ambitions of fostering a cohesive and more
effective common effort for free and open "resources" in education.>>

Jessica had specific ideas for a press package as well: http://archives.seul.org/schoolforge/core/Jan-2002/msg00029.html

Please send items for the February Press Release of SchoolForge to me by February 9th (Saturday) and I'l put them together and post a draft by Sunday, Feb. 10th.
