Parents/Grandparents Class on Safe Surfing for Kids... (fwd)

[Barb Avonia Weismann]

Re: class topics

I will come up with a curriculum for a class on "Citizen Lobbrying Using
the Web and E mail" if someone will help me with what I don't know.  This
can include:
Setting up a personal mail list/e mail
Listservs and how to set one up (I am assuming we can "own" listservs on
scn)
Listservs and Web pages as an easily accessible source of files for
on-demand information dispersal
Good Uses for Web Pages
Linking to government officials
E Mail Chain Letters
Important e mail addresses

This will take me some time, to collect good examples, set up mock lists,
etc.  But do you think anyone would take the class?
