What follows is the announcement of a teaching conference being
developed by McGraw-Hill, the PRISM conference faculty and your
listowner, Bill. The conference will start with on-line activities,
meet together for 2-3 days in Baltimore, and then finish with on-line
discussions. We hope that you find the topics and format interesting
and choose to join us. In order to maintain the small group, sharing
atmosphere of the original PRISM conferences, we are limiting the
registration to 40 people. So register early to assure a spot.
