Professional Organization
Family problems are one major cause of students performing poorly
in school and in their having emotional, psychological, adjustment and
learning problems in the classroom, at school in general and in completing
their work outside of school. Educators may, therefore be well advised to
know more about the role family problems play in the lives of children and
the impact of these problems on their education in particular. For anyone
interested in knowing more about family problems and the family therapy
process as a tool to deal with those problems, there is a professional
organization focused in this field, The Association of Marriage and
Family Therapy (AAMFT). They have a webite that explains much about the
organization and the field it represents.
Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT)
http://www.aamft.org/
There are also web pages for a number of individual state
divisions of the parent organization. The parent website has a series of
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) documents that may help answer questions
about the role of family therapy.
FAQs About MFT
http://www.aamft.org/faqs/index.htm
What is Marriage and Family Therapy?
Who are Marriage and Family Therapists?
Why use a Marriage and Family Therapist?
What are the qualifications for a Marriage and Family Therapist?
How can I find a qualified MFT?
There is also a page of internet resources aimed at practioners
that are collected with hyperlinks that can be accessed from the links
page of this website.
Resources for Practitioners

I hope that all of these resources will prove to be of help
to some of the members of this discussion group.
Always remember, by the way, that the best site to practice
therapy is in the comfort of your favorite pancake house, because the
pancakes taste so much better after you have poured lots of therapy upon
them.

Subject: ELEM: Holocaust Education grades K - 4
For the past eight months I have been enjoying the LM_NET and taking much
valuable information away. It is time to give back. As an Information and
Library Science student at University of South Florida and a teacher, I have
designed a web page that I hope many of you will be able to use.
This page deals with Holocaust education for children grades k-4. There is
little organized information on the Web for this age group that is gathered
together in one place. May 2nd is Holocaust Remembrance Day and an activity
for that is included on the lesson plans page.
Hope this is helpful: http://www.mindspring.com/~cleanccl/index.html

Join naturalist and guide Doug Gates next week as he begins a 2,670
mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, from the Mexican border,
through California, Oregon and Washington to the Canadian border.
Doug will post journals, photos, and interact with teachers and kids
via a threaded discussion.
Doug's journey will raise money for the Ronald McDonald house through
individual pledges and corporate contributions and sponsorships.
Doug also hopes to bring to light the many environmental dangers that
the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) faces. These dangers include pollution
(both air and water) and erosion, caused by logging, pack animals and
livestock. Doug sees the Pacific Crest Trail as a national treasure
that needs attention in order to retain its unspoiled beauty.

Must-Have Software Programs
That are Easy on your Budget
By Robin Nobles
Some of the most helpful and valuable software programs pack a mean
bunch, are simple to use, and are quite inexpensive. Many of these
programs will allow you to download free trial versions, so check
them out and see for yourself how they can make your computer life a
little easier.
Launchpad is a dynamite program that allows you to assign certain
tasks to various keys on your keyboard. For example, you can assign
the F1 key to your word processing program, to where clicking on that
one key will launch the program. The program allows you to launch
software programs or URLs by clicking on one single key!
http://www.darwinkeyboards.com
After you've surfed the Web for a while, does your computer ever get
sluggish and take forever to respond? If so, you may have a memory
leak. MemTurbo is a handy utility program that will retrieve your
lost memory every 30 minutes, and if your memory gets dangerously low
in the meantime, it will automatically retrieve it then.
http://www.memturbo.com/
If you're using a modem to connect to the Internet, and if you're
tired of waiting forever for web pages to load, Turbo Surfer is just
what you need. Believe it or not, the program will increase your
Internet speed by 220 percent instantly! Can't beat that!
http://www.turbosurfer2000.com/
Powermarks is an outstanding bookmark program that makes handling
your Web bookmarks a breeze. With Powermarks, you assign keywords to
each of your bookmarks. Then later, when you're struggling to
remember the name of the URL, you can simply type in a keyword, and
the program will bring up your related bookmarks in a flash. Also,
this helpful program will make sure that the URLs for each of your
bookmarks are still working.

Since so many people are interested in genealogy these days, be sure
to check out GenoPro software, which was developed specifically for
genealogy research. This new program "allows you to find out the
rarest things you ever wanted to know about your family tree and your
ancestors."
http://www.genealogydetective.com/download/downloadgenopro.html
If you're concerned about viruses and security issues, be sure to
check out the McAfee Clinic. At the Clinic, you have access to
McAfee's famous virus protection software, a hard drive cleaner, and
more, all from that one handy location. If you subscribe to the
clinic, you can purchase McAfee's personal firewall program at half
price, which will prevent hackers from breaking into your system.
http://www.mcafee.com/centers/clinic/
Finally, Copernic 2000 Plus is a software program that will search
the Net's top search engines simultaneously, then provide the results
ranked by relevance, with summaries of each URL.
