From: "Marcia J. Talkmitt--VESAMOTEX" Subject: MISC: TEXAS teacher with a SGI OS?? Date: Sat, 23 Nov 1996 21:34:47 -0600 Message-ID: <1.5.4.32.19961124033447.00903f98@hub.ofthe.net> It's real hard to keep calm these days. Joining my family of 2-Pentium 133s, a Mac LC, and a Mac Performa, is an SGI OS that I am going to get mid-December for my participation in our state (TEXAS) educator's net--TENET-- Emerging Technologies Institute. I don't know the specifics of the machine, but I do know that it has teleconferencing capabilities. We will be getting extensive training on the machine in December and February. Now I can get some of the SGI specific programs for my VRML building. Any suggestions for software would be greatly appreciated. I know that VRML isn't "true VR", but for an educator that has been doing as much research as possible in the area and using as much on the market that is available, the addition of this machine will be a dream come true. I need some collaborators and/or suggestions for this new venture and any and all help is accepted!!! My field of expertise is science and I facilitate the Gifted and Talented in an rural (and isolated) K-12 school in the panhandle of TEXAS. There are 14 teachers in our state will be participating in this venture (I'm the only one that I know of that is interested in VR and VRML). The basic impact of the workshop is in mathematics and science. ****************************************************************************** Marcia J.
