Issue 17

The homepage has three aspects - Departments which contains regular features from the editor, weekly 'surprises' and a suggestions box; Articles has items contributed by teachers and school personnel and Out of the Box highlights special contributions beyond the school environment. David Pedwell instigated the page aiming to capture educational ideas being shared through lists and the e-mail world. He maintains it in his spare time and would welcome contributions at [email protected].

With many schools pondering on how best to provide Internet access, Peter Whitehouse shares the St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace experience through the Chalkbox icon in the Articles section ... or you can visit him direct on http://www.uq.oz.au/-zzgttcc1/terrace.htm
