Folks--
 Thanks to Steven Hodas and Mike Eisenberg, we will have 9 copies of
the NASA "Global Quest" video to send out via snailmail for review.
(Thanks to Paula Neale who also offered two copies.)
 So, we can take lots more volunteers to view the video and write
opinions. Send me your name and address as soon as possible.
 I heard another opinion of the video at a conference today. A
workshop presenter called it basically typical "hype" for Internet
that just made it all look too simple, the way kids were easily
calling things up. In his presentation, he emphasized the need for
constant Training Training Training, as well as the need to teach
students how to examine and validate data found on the Internet (as
well as how to use it.) (I won't give the man's name because this is
a terrible paraphrase.)
 Has anyone seen the new MIT video for schools and Internet?
