    Hi Gregory,
    Are you still active? I'm looking for Life Science classroom connections, but will also consider reading projects. MY profile lists my website, which is where you can learn about me (I went ahead and posted it here). I do a lot of videoconferencing over distances, so I'd be interested to have you as a visitor, as well.
    Think about it, and get back to me.

    I am also developing a cool ning project that I officially launched last thursday and will post details to your site tomorrow. I must go to sleep as I must get up at 4:30am to travel to teach. Looking forward to collaborating with others via your great site. Have an inspired day:-)

    Hello Lucy and thanks. Love your project and great to have a connection to my beloved city of Chicago, although I also grew up in Oak Park where my parents reside. I Traveled to Geneva with Depaul some years back for a UN project, met a girl from Vienna, stayed on in Geneva to work on an Indigineous peoples project. Decided to visit the girl and volunteer for IFOR Austria, they offered to pay my living expenses. They liked my energy and asked me to stay on and develop my own Global Education program utilizing technology and the rest as they say is history. I love it here and I have the chance to meet and work with incredible students and teachers.

    Welcome to the GEC, Gregory! I'm in Chicago and I hear DePaul has a great computer science program! How did you end up in Austria?
