I AM a teacher as well as a computer tech and so forth....it's an
advantage I have in understanding my "customers" as I am now have been
(before I was a computer teacher) one of "them".....thus I understand
their needs.  For 90% of the teachers something like seul.org would be way
too geeky for them.  A new discussion list that is more mainstream for the
average "layperson" is what's needed.  I'll help in anyway I can.
