Date: Sat, 24 Jun 1995 10:47:59 MST From: Gene Glass To: Multiple recipients of list EDUCATIONAL-RESEARCH ================================================================ Subject: LISTS> EDInfo from the US DOE **************************************************************** ANNOUNCING... a new service from the U.S. Department of Education **************************************************************** Have you ever asked... "Where can I get that new report or learn about the initiative just announced by the U.S. Department of Education?" We're pleased to offer a service to help answer that question. "EDInfo" will deliver three e-mail messages a week from the U.S. Department of Education to your e-mail account. These messages will feature information from the Department on... findings from education research & statistics, highlights from new reports, news about Department initiatives & programs (Goals 2000, Family Involvement, School-to-Work, and more), developments on the national technology plan, updates on legislation & budget, recent additions to our gopher & Web sites, and more. >From time to time, we'll also ask if you know of any approaches that work for a particular education challenge. For instance, how can *all* parents & families be involved as partners in children's education? Or how can schools & families help children to read more? We'll gather the messages offline, summarize them, and post brief highlights on EDInfo. Directions on how to sign up for this free service are below. But before signing up, please note that EDInfo is a "read only" listserv. It's designed for one main purpose: to help you keep up-to-date on the latest research, reports, announcements, and other information from the U.S. Department of Education (ED). We're offering this service as a pilot test. Join today & receive the "three messages a week" beginning next week (June 19). The service will continue for three months & will end in September. We hope you'll join EDInfo & be part of this experiment. To do so, simply: 1. Address an e-mail message to: listproc@inet.ed.gov 2. Write nothing in the subject line (just leave it blank). 3. Write this in the message area: subscribe EDInfo yourfirstname yourlastname Kirk Winters Office of the Under Secretary U.S. Department of Education kwinters@inet.ed.gov [%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%] [%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%]
