Hi Mechelle, Thanks for your response- I feel appreciated! I am currently enjoying NECC 2007 in Atlanta, soaking up all I can learn and trying not to get overwhelmed (along with the other 16,000+ participants). I will definitely get my application in gear soon after I return to NM on Wednesday.
Thanks again, Joey

Hi Nancy,

Welcome! Thank you for your encouragement. I am looking forward to SC07. I learned so much at SC06. I think with each new year we will find how technology can support students with special needs. Thank you so much again!

Take care.

Take care!

Hi Guys from England. I thought I was joining a learning and gym club-physical challenges! I could do with a few after the Easter.
Would any of your young peole like to publish on our World Ecitizens website and get a certificate as a World Ecitizen. Mechelle is one of our star MirandaNet Fellows. I'm sure we could work something out between us. Warm regards from the other side of the pond. Christina Preston

Thank you all for joining. We are trying to spread the word. We are in the second year of the LPCE program. There is no other program like this in the world that includes supercomputing and special needs. Please feel free to spread the word about the LPCE program.

Thanks again!

Best Wishes,
Mechelle : D
