Sorry to everyone that I haven't joined in much of the discourse at the Forum here, but I have been very busy with other parts of my life that once in a while require attention. But I do read the new entries at least two or three times a day. I happen to live in British Columbia Canada, up the Coast a ways from Vancouver. The primary means of making a livelihood here have always been centred around Fishing (salmon) and Falling (big trees). Well, all of that has come under hard times, and the Computer Age is hitting into here in a very big way. I teach part-time computing here by running a municipality-funded Cyber Cafe and have just begun to work small hours in a new programme which is designed to give support to all of those who never learned how to use a computer in the past, never wanted to, or can't read or write, whatever. The problem is that there is now NO computer literate teachers at our only high school (the last one packed up and went to Alberta), and the kids attending there are going to be screwed when it comes time to get a job or go on to college or university. Incredible but true! I have been asked to try and help fill in some of the gaps in the situation, and I would like to set up a course using Euphoria as its basis, due to its ease of use and learning. But is there anyone out there who has done a course or would like to give me some concrete feed-back and ideas how to make such a thing successful. I am willing to share my experiences with others about all of this. How about you? Thanks in advance, Norm
