- SP=8>One suggestion on one computer and a lot of students. We
- SP=8>can upload an ASCII file and attach it to a message. That
- SP=8>way a class of students can communicate with a basic word
- SP=8>processor that saves in ASCII format then you can upload
- SP=8>the messages. That way very little on line time is used.

- SP=8>I have very successfully used this with middle school

- Suzy, thanks f0r your suggestions. I am spending part our long vacation
- over Christmas getting to know how things work and have just found how
- to operate off-line loading. I can see that this would be the best way
- to get groups of students using the bb once they have had a spot of
- actual on-line experience. I find its much better myself and can see why
- you recommend doing it this way. I have time to think too without the
- phone interrupting me. At home we don't pay per call but at school we
- are charged for each call. Will let you know how I get on during Feb.
- Any other suggestions would be gratefully received. I took of the work
- sheets I found recently and will adapt those I think to get people
- started - once I can do it all of course. cheers, Liz Probert.
