A Note from the EDTECH Editors (was Re: Educational Desktop Gadgets)
EDTECH Editor-Jones
Thanks so much to Alix for posting her remarks below, including her
offer to send presentation materials to anyone wishing them. There have
been dozens of such requests. Since such requests are not an important
part of the EDTECH discussion, we ask that you forward them directly to
Alix at her email address below, rather than hitting "reply" and
distributing your request to the EDTECH membership.
Thanks so much for your consideration.
Jeff
