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