thanks for the quick replies! don, you brought up a lot of great points and ideas! ken, that is the real trick, since i would have to make it a magazine rather than a newsletter. what if, instead of being purely about first and its competitions, its was a magazine, published by FIRST, targeted at science/math/etc. educators across the country? ASME publishes its own magazine that targets engineers, why not one for teachers, and why not by FIRST? that way FIRST can provide educators with a resource as long as they have x dollars and a mailbox! keep the feedback coming!
