          ******************************************************
          ANNOUNCEMENT OF TWO FORUMS TO DISCUSS EDUCATION REFORM
          ******************************************************

          How can the Information Superhighway be a resource for
          teaching and learning in your school, community, and home?
          The U.S. Department of Education is hosting two forums to
          help you answer that question.


          A Satellite Town Meeting
          ************************

          In a live, interactive video teleconference, U.S. Education
          Secretary Richard Riley and Deputy Secretary Madeline Kunin
          will talk with four pioneers who have connected their
          schools or community to the world via the Internet:  Tom
          Grunder, President of the National Public Telecomputing
          Network; Louis Gomez, a professor at Northwestern
          University; Carol Hyatt, a parent and founder of CapAccess
          in Bethesda, Maryland; and, Douglas Wood, a teacher in South
          Carolina. (For directions, see "How to join the GOALS 2000
          Satellite Town Meeting" below.)

          An On-Line Conversation
          ***********************

          Several of those pioneers and other community experts will
          offer practical tips and suggestions about "using
          telecomputing for teaching and learning" over the Internet.
          This new forum, which we call the Satellite Town Meeting
          On-Line Conversation, or "SATL-CON" is designed for you.
          It is a place where you can share ideas, ask questions, or
          just listen in on the conversation.  To join us, send an
          e-mail message to <listserv@suvm.syr.edu> and in the message
          area write: subscribe satl-con <your name>.


          How to Join the GOALS 2000 Satellite Town Meeting:
          **************************************************

          Every month, the Department produces the GOALS 2000
          Satellite Town Meeting, a live, interactive video
          teleconference for communities working to achieve the
          National Education Goals.  Broadcast via satellite, the
          teleconference brings together hundreds of communities
          across the country to discuss education issues.

          Call 1-800-USA-LEARN and see if there is a downlink site
          already established in your community.  If not, start one!
          Local PBS member stations, Wal-Marts, schools, universities
          and cable stations are often willing to serve as downlink
          sites.  Just gather a group of people in your community and
          join in.
