Hi, Lynne–
Judging by responses when most kids see my UV lamps in action, at
least that part of the science/technology program you describe is not
widespread as yet. It sounds like something I would like to see
spread. I also wonder if my niece (3) and nephew (6) in Wisconsin
will have a chance to be exposed to it.
This might be cheaper via CISmail (but only if you use the standard
pricing plan and its free CISmail allowance covers your usage), but
the cost of conversing in a forum is small (assuming you do reading
and writing off-line and make an efficient forum visit to drop
off/pick up messages with CIM's
mark/retrieve-marked/disconnect-on-completion or a fully automated
interface program like OzCIS), and here others can see, learn, and
contribute. Your messages may make other teachers and parents aware
of an alternative worthy of attention, and may draw comments from
other people that you or I will benefit from. Forums exemplify a new
medium of communication, with new strengths and weaknesses, which I
expect will change the world as profoundly as television or
telephones did.
