 DH> Hi Regina,
 DH> 
 DH> No problem, here's a short clip from a file I include in my K12Net 
 DH> information package to help explain it to my users:
 DH> 
 DH> 
 DH> The SPECTRUM BBS is proud to bring the K12Net message conferences
 DH> to North Dakota.  The K12Net is an international network dedicated 
 DH> to education.  Participants from around the globe can discuss and 
 DH> share ideas related to a host of curriculum areas as well as chat
 DH> with students their own age.
 DH> 
 DH> Student participants can use the K12Net areas to increase their 
 DH> knowledge and awareness of other countries and cultures, to pose
 DH> questions about subjects they may be having difficulty with or are
 DH> accomplished in.  The curriculum areas provide the opportunity for
 DH> collaborative work that spans the states and continents.  We 
 DH> currently have active participants in the United States, Canada,
 DH> New Zealand and Australia.
 DH> 
 DH> There are over 30 different message conferneces (including the 
 DH> "project channels") that focus on different curriculum areas.  There 
 DH> are 4 chat areas:  elementary school, middle school, senior high, and 
 DH> teacher.
 DH> 
 DH> It's a fun network to be a part of.  :)

 Sounds interesting.  I'll have to look into it.  Right now things have
 been a little too busy for much else, but getting the house together
 (we just bought a fixer-upper, school, and my husbands campaigning for
 Treasurer in 2410.  So things are a little too busy to add anything
 else to my agenda.  But I will definetly keep this in mind.  Thanks.
 Regina
