[gary price <gprice@gwu.edu>]

Good Morning from D.C.

New Resource: "Yahoo Education"

From the news release, "-- As the new school year begins, Yahoo! today
announced the launch of Yahoo! Education (http://education.yahoo.com), a
free resource that enables educators at the college, high school and middle
school levels to easily create a virtual classroom environment and
communication center for their students. Through this new service,
professors and teachers can extend the traditional classroom onto the
Internet by posting class rosters, calendars, and syllabi, and by connecting
with students through private classroom message boards and e-mail. Yahoo!
also announced new agreements with three leading providers of education
materials -- Bartleby.com, Britannica.com, and Houghton Mifflin Company --
who bring together their resources to create the Yahoo! Education reference
area."
