Well there's a 12-page article http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=177&Itemid=336 authored by Jordan Zebor, Distance Learning and Digital Media Specialist (Using some CMS/framework/authoring tool called Joomla!). The SD USD (sandi) contact page at http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=355&Itemid=477 leads to a personal contact page at http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_contact&task=view&contact_id=3&Itemid=469 I notice a substantial amount of structure in "The San Diego Unified School District's Educational Technology Department" http://www.edtech.sandi.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=74&Itemid=504 Does anyone know how the Ed. Tech. Dept fits into the overall scheme of things? Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
