Thanks to everyone for coming out. I didn't stick around for the whole thing, but was glad to see everyone there and was pleasantly surprised at the integration of the white-board and the Mac. Very interesting things happening in education!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So, next month is going to be all about Word, or to be more precise, how to avoid it! John Kisner will offer his expertise on alternatives to the monopolistic Microsoft monster from a word-processing point-of-view. Bring your questions, opinions and experiences and add to the discussion.
