Dear Jan:
Thanks for your welcome.  I sure am glad to be here (LM_NET).  Our state
conference was good.  I enjoyed the keynote speaker, Dr. Jacqueline C.
Mancall of Drexel University.  She spoke on "What's in it for kids."  There
were a number of very interesting presentations.  The one that most
impressed me was "The role of technology in Restructuring Schools,"
presented by John Rinaldi, Asst. Superintendent for Technology, Chittendon
South District, Hinesburg, Vermont.  I guess when he stated that his
district may soon give CD-ROMs to incoming kindergarders to record all of
their projects from K-12 grades.  By soon, I think he meant within the next
four or five years.  It seems the district is concidering purchase of a
CD-ROM writer which would make tha possible.  Imagine such a portfolio
accompanying a college application!
