Hi, Dave (and all Squeaklanders) -

Great to hear from you!  When we did the video project at Cal Poly it 
was under the 'influence' and direction of Doreen Nelson and Lev 
Gonick. As a matter of fact, there was an article in yesterday's NY 
Times about Lev's current work in the area of online learning at Case 
Western Reserve University in Cleveland (you can read the article in 
the Technology Section of NY Times online if you are interested).

The ACME pilot program sounds great...I wish you the best with it. 
(I encourage those of you not familiar with Dave and his work to 
learn more!)

Thanks for the update....As Alan subscribes to this list, he'll see 
your "hi" directly (he was just in Maine with Seymour Papert and 
educators thinking about issues that will arise when every 7th grader 
in the state of Maine (17,000) will receive a laptop this Fall!!

best regards,
Kim
