Hi Roland and all,

Haha. I'm sure that any number on this list have memories
of wheeling a 286 DOS PC around from class to class on a
trolley, with a roomswap to be nearer a phone line if one was
to go online with a class and that very same PC was also the
school dial-in bulletin board after hours :-) As you say Roland
it would be fun to hear podcasts of people's early experiences.

Cheers, Stephen

Thanks for the memories mate. When we all got excited about this new 
fangled technology with whistles and bells called e-mail and the 
Internet, you had the good sense to tap us on the steering wheel and come 
up with ideas for using it in the classroom. Say, we should at least try 
to document all that work by the other pioneers in the early 1990's 
before they slip into retirement, obscurity and off these lists and my 
radar. 

Have MP3 recorder, can podcast. :-)

(now, where did I put down my reading glasses?)

Regards Roland

and, since then, we've both taught IT, gained IT master degrees, 
served years helping run the state it-teacher professional groups,
etc, etc, and you've been the Vic Ed Dpt IT-teacher of the year, and
already do everything edna make available for on-line classes anyway!

haha .. sounds like a mutual-admiration-society newsletter. Sorry folks.

Cheers Roland
