Dear Folks,

We, meaning Bettina and I, are in the process of spending money to turn our Sony LLC9000 classroom into
a computer classroom. Although the system isn't ancient, the amount of renovation needed in the room
for accommodating computers has brought us to the conclusion that we should either replace the current
Sony console system with a new digital system or get rid of the console completely. The decision to
replace or trash depends upon faculty input. We've organized a faculty committee, are currently making
site visits with faculty, and will soon be inviting vendors to do a demonstration to help faculty and
us make an informed decision. As part of the information process, we would be very interested in
hearing stories from the field with regard to faculty use of the console as a teaching tool in the
classroom. Basically, we would like to know, if the console is collecting dust or is it being used as
it was intended, i.e. for  interactive teaching / learning, modeling, pairing, monitoring, etc. You can
send your stories to me directly or to the list.

Thanks,
Ed Dixon
