Having wandered through the fields of special education (behavior concerns),
law, and technology planning, sometimes thinking I was lost, I have arrived
with a career focus on the safe and responsible use of the Internet by young
people. My book, Computer Ethics, Etiquette, and Safety for the 21st Century
Student has two chapters that specifically address electronic communications
-- Look Your Best and Remain Cool Under Fire.
My book is published by ISTE (http://www.iste.org -- look in Bookstore).
Anyone coming to NECC, I will be signing copies at 3:00 on Monday at the
ISTE booth. I'd love to meet some LM'ers.
Please forgive the self-promotion.
