Hi, Jan and the group. Jan, your points are well taken. I think that it is critical that universal access be completely open, standards based and adaptable to both current and cutting edge technologies. The issue of access must drive the hardware solutions to make things work, rather than the other way around. Your points on schools and when is a student a student is also well taken. As we are demonstrating in this virtual seminar, we are all learning all the time. In my view the geographical or physical or even temporal constraints need to be as transparent as possible -- school should be less a place as an idea -- learning is the key and sharing imformation is empowerment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Buro, Master TENET Mentor/Facilitator INTERNET: rwburo@tenet.edu Coordinator of Instructional Media VOICE PHONE: 817-791-6156 Temple Independent School District OFFICE FAX : 817-791-6158 300 South 27th Street PAPER FAX : 817-791-6100 Temple, TX 76504-4012 HOME VOICE PHONE: 817-778-0386 Moderator: tenet.interest.videomakers Remember the crew of Apollo 1 tenet.interest.txstudies Remember the Challenger 7. tenet.taet.memberinfo tenet.projects.nasa-iliad WE MAKE YOUR MAGIC HAPPEN!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------
