Angie;
You might want to find out about the TI-IN Network that is currently being
utilized throughtout the U.S. I beleive that it is relatively
cost-effective. It provides a satellite link & provides numerous
educational and staff development opportunities. I know that the
headquarters is in San Antonio, TX. I will try to get additional info.
Meanwhile if anyone else has used TI-IN please let Angie know.
