WebDev

There's still time to apply for the WebDev event on October 25. We have about
30 spots left and next week will open up the invite to the masses via an ALLA1.

	http://www.maricopa.edu/webdev/fall96/index.html
	
We are experimenting with possible use of the new "CoolTalk" technology that
allows live audio (and video on the Mac) transmission so that if you are not at
WebDev you can "listen" in.


NetDay 96
This national effort to wire our schools systems is October 26th.  NetDay is a
nationwide project to provide Internet compliant wiring to K-12 schools.  Get
more info and volunteer to help with a school of your choice at:

    http://netday.well.com/

No technical expertise is required for this high-tech barn raising.  Groups of
volunteers will be lead by experienced team leaders.  Have some fun, help our
youth and get a first hand look at the infrastructure that makes the Web work.

From the main page you can click on the arizona state to get local information.
Although all of the Arizona schools are listed, they are not all participating-
some may alyready be wired. From the information I got from the state
coordinator, there are several schools in Chandler that are looking for
volunteers (I signed up for "San Marcos Elementary"). I think if you sign up
for ANYTHING they will try to set you up with a school where they need some
help.

I was sent this info:
