Hi discussers all!
Thanks Stephanie and Gail for your notes that reminded me to check in on
this newest of our discuss lists. It gives me an opportunity to announce
our recently launched project NeurOn which will follow the Neurolab
mission (scheduled to launch April 2, l998) to study how the brain and
nervous system  develop and function in microgravity. Today, November 12
is our "Getting to Know You" Web chat - please join us from:
   http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/neuron/chats

This list was created to provide a forum for teachers to discuss a wide
variety of issues, concerns, teaching strategies, useful resources,
project collaboration opportunities, and suggestions in implementing
Quest's online projects.

In the past our discussions have been project-specific, but we feel that
much is lost in the "state of Quest's online projects" skills and issues
that could benefit participants in all projects. If you're not familiar
with the Quest's full family of projects, visit:
	http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/interactive

To post a message to the list, send an email to discuss@quest.arc.nasa.gov
If you prefer to keep up with this list via the Web (instead of through
Email), please see this web address:
	http://quest/cgi-bin/lwgate/DISCUSS/archives/

Or you may wish to sign up for the digest version of discuss.  This
option allows you to receive all the day's mail in a single message. This
helps keep mailbox traffic down, but makes it somewhat harder to reply to
an individual message. Do this by sending a mail message to
	listmanager@quest.arc.nasa.gov.
In the message body, write these words (on two separate lines):
	subscribe discuss-digest

IMPORTANT:  Please be sure to subscribe to the project-specific updates
mail list as well as this discussion forum.  The updates list can be
subscribed to through the Teachers' Lounge page and provides all
announcements, late-breaking news, and relevant posts pertaining to the
project in which you are involved, while this list is for the purpose of
discussion!

We hope you enjoy participating in this discussion forum!
