[school-discuss] Electronic Education Report newsletter discuss-list-interview

[Justin <jriddiough@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Karen Meaney at www.simbainformation.com 
<blocked::http://www.simbainformation.com/>  is looking to gather 
information for the Electronic Education Report newsletter, and I 
offered to help facilitate the dialog by posting this and forwarding the 
responses to her.  If anyone would be available to speak to Karen in 
more detail on one or more of these topics, email me your contact info 
off list and I'll forward it to her.  It sounds like she would be happy 
to speak in person and gather as much information as she can.

The questions cover a very diverse set of topics that are usually 
discussed at length individually on this list, so it might be good to 
just summarize the key points on each of these subjects.  Karen also 
mentioned that she would like to start reviewing responses next Monday 
if possible.

Thanks,
justin
