If you are unfamiliar with how to unzip a file, take a look at http://www.netsquirrel.com/classroom/zip.html *********************************************************** SPECIAL EDUCATION LINKS Students with disabilities are to be afforded the same learning opportunities as students without disabilities, as far as possible. Special Needs and Assistive Technology <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/specialed.html> *********************************************************** Finally, all of my free PowerPoint presentations are, obviously, Microsoft PowerPoint files. To view them, you'll need either a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint (which is part of Microsoft Office) or a copy of Microsoft's free PowerPoint viewer for the PC. Microsoft's PowerPoint viewer is intended only for those of you who don't already have Microsoft Office. You can download the viewer at http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx Mr. Bill also offers a free Microsoft PowerPoint viewer for Mac users who don't already own Microsoft Office for the Mac. You can find it at http://microsoft.com/MAC/download/OFFICE98/powerpoint98viewer.asp Steve ************************************************************** The Net Happenings mailing list is a service of Educational CyberPlayGround - http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/ ************************************************************** Linking and Announcements For Net Happenings are provided by http://www.EricWard.com and http://www.URLwire.com ************************************************************** If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or would like to sponsor the Net Happenings service - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/Subguidelines.html> Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Change Email Preferences - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/NetHappenings.html> **************************************************************
