  OFFICE MEMO          Legacy Electronic Seminar              Date:2/23/96

For the next two weeks we will continue to lay the groundwork for our first
electronic seminar. On  March 11th Robert Tinker and Beverly Hunter will
discuss some of the questions and issues being raised by the TEECH-Legacy
discussion group. 

We urge your participation during the next two weeks in posting your queries
on sustaining TE work as we are seeking many perspectives from the TEECH
community.  Your queries will be forwarded to  the speakers prior to their
discussion.  Their comments will be made available to you (approximately one
week later) through Real Audio from the TEECH home page:
     http://hub.terc.edu/terc/teech.html.
We will also make portions of their comments available on text. 

Both Beverly and Bob have been involved with many Teacher Enhancement
initiatives and their perspectives are sure to answer some questions while
raising others. We hope that this panel discussion will further the
conversation currently taking place on the list serv.
