I am a third year teacher. This is my first year as a computer teacher. I want the computer program at South Side to be a success. I can offer the group a fresh perspective and a teacher's view. My early childhood background my shine a new light on the topic.

We would be happy to share any of our distance education and networking experiences here in Nevada with anyone who would contact us, or in the seminar if out of state comments are allowed. Our PSC is now having hearings on the new regulations and they are requesting input from all concerned sectors. For reference: Our network covers the entire state of Nevada and serves our urban and a very scattered rural population with internet access, school administrative connectivity, college and university education,research and adminstrative connectivity. We also provide and operate a 50 site distance education compressed video network that is combined with and operates over our data network facilities. The new regulations their impact and consequences are of great importance to us.

Thanks for the opportunity!
- Sr. Rosemarie Griffin

Bureaucrats should on no account be exclusively allowed to formuate the policies they admister. This most frequently leads to policies, practices or regulations which makes the admistrator's tasks easier, with little thought given to the accomplishment of the original mission.
- Gene Hastings

- James Hollinger

I hope this seminar satisfies my need.

Laurie sent me an email notice about the seminar and suggested that I might be able to participate. If I can, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
- Ashley Schannauer

please keep me informed
- C. Schickley

The content of this seminar needs to be available to folk who are either not online or who are new to the online world and as a result will not participate in this process. I would like to see face-to-face meetings held simultaneous to the seminar, strategically placed throughout the region so the knowledge is spread and community activism stimulated and captured.
- Kathy Schroerlucke

Telecommunication discounts have created many questions. The seminar should provide most if not all the answers.
- David Shipula

I would like to lurk in the activity.
- Stan Silverman

I believe this is a good opportunity for Peabody High School to gain information and exposure that we need to advance our program. After all, the test for Link-to-Learn is your customers -- the students of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh.
- Mary A Singer

Since Ive been monitoring this for three states, I could perhaps give insight to what other states are doing.
- Nolan Sokol

Thank you for the opportunity.
- Carol Steiner

At this point the whole program and application process sounds very complicated for a small public library. Also, form my limited information at this point, it sounds like small public libraries will have limited benefit for the amount of work involved. I hope this seminar will clear-up some of this confusion.
- Lois Strycula

I think this is a great opportunity!
- Diane Suffren

It is a difficult challenge for us to be turning away schools that need our help because of the recent demands. Our management ability and constant referals have placed us in a position were we are trying to increase or staff to meet with each school district requesting our assistance.
- R. F. Thompson

It would be beneficial to see copies of examples of model Technology Plans and discount applications. I have obtained a few handouts from the PA State Library and from the Michigan State Library which have been helpful, but additional samples would be useful.
- Laurie Tynan

I think the online seminar is a great idea!
- Lori Uher

Thank you for holding the seminar and having it on-line.
- Michael Vavrek

I also need to learn how to connect with Link to Learn for the purcahse of needed Pentium PC workstations and network- able, high speed HP laser printers.
- Edward Whittaker

Please advise if there is anything further that is needed in order to be an observer.
- Patricia Widmayer

When will application process be defined???
- Alan Wilson

Pleasbe aware that most of the libraries in Allegheny County are part of an Electronic Network and what works for one must work for all.
- Diane Yates

There seems to be much confusion and uncertainty surrounding the Universal Service telecommunication discounts. This seminar sounds like the perfect antidote.
