>      With the fall term not too far away, lots of teachers are
>      beginning to look around for suggestions about incorporating
>      internet resources into their writing classes.  At this week's
>      Cafe, we'll talk about tips and ideas folks can use to make
>      their first "netted classes" successful.  Some questions to
>      think about:  What could you tell first-timers that will save
>      them some of the headaches of your first netted classes?  What
>      internet resources do you think are especially productive and
>      easy for first-time net teachers to have their classes use?
>      How much and what kind of preparation is involved for using
>      various net resources?  How do you prepare students?  How many
>      different kinds of resources can you reasonably expect students
>      to use effectively in a given semester?  What are general tips
>      and warnings can you offer about what to expect and what not to
>      expect?  What are some specific internet activities that have
>      worked well for you?
>
>      For those who'd like to share summaries of a couple of paragraphs
>      or so of lesson plans, feel free to bring a poster or sign or
>      something to the cafe or to send Tari a paragraph or two to be put
>      on a slide or poster (if sending to Tari, do so by 10:00 p.m. on
>      Monday!).  Keep your summaries very brief, as folks have lots to
>      read at cafes just to follow the discussion, and put your name and
>      e-mail address on them so that folks can credit you if they use your
>      ideas and write you if they want to know more.  Feel free to
>      contribute lessons even if you can't show up in person.

>      See you at the Cafe!
