Using Technology in PE
Check out Bonnie Mohnsen's December PE technology newsletter,

Buying Technology Equipment?
CNET, the creator of this site, reviews products and then lets you see which vendor has the best price for it online.  You can also read reviews from people who have purchased the product.


"Some of the saddest words you'll ever hear are 'what might have been.' Will you look back on today, this week, or this year and say, 'I wish I had' or 'I'm glad I did?' You have a choice. These ten little two letter words-- If it is to be, it is up to me-- are absolutely valid."


PE Web Chat - Update

The recently released PE Web Chat room suffered from some technological problems! We plan to investigate options and introduce a new resource in January. If you have suggestions be sure to let us know. The MSN looks great but unfortunately is limited to PC users. We need something everyone can access.
