Planning & Designing Institutional Web Sites
Technology & Teaching Conference

March 26, 1998
  Greetings,

I am sorry for the delay in getting this page up.  It has been an eventful weekend.   I did enjoy our session on Friday and hope that everyone had a safe drive back home.  Several people told me what a great conference ECU it, especially a teacher from Clay county, up in the mountains.  I also urge you to join our NCWebsters mailing list.  I have already gotten several new subscriptions since Friday.   Detailed instructions are below.

I look forward to working with you again!
