[Ailist] NECC video

Tue Jul 14 17:32:57 MDT 2009

"There is no video - but that is a good idea."

I think when Mark asked about the video, he was referring to this
statement about the work Marge and Jackie did at NECC: "NECC has a seven
minute video that describes their process." 

Do you know if NECC sells their video?

Good to read about the good work you are doing.  I am excited and
interested in the work you want to do with schools.  Kindly share little
more about this.

The book is available from Thin Book Publishing, on Amazon (Kindle
immediately), and on Barnes & Noble. Currently, it is still priced at
Thin Book at a pre-order discount. The actual book begins to ship on 23
July. 

There is no video - but that is a good idea. 

Thanks for asking.
