You can do a free online scan for Klez and any other known virus/worm at
Trend Micro. http://housecall.antivirus.com/ (You will still need the
removal tool if it is detected.)
Please note that reactive scanning is a poor substitute for proactive
protection. With the group of people using this listserv being in
technology, there is no excuse not to have an updated and working antivirus
product installed.

Subject: [WWWEDU] Forum to feature National History Day
This week's installment of the TAPPED IN Social Studies forum deals with
National History Day. This session is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern (5
p.m. Pacific), Wednesday, June 12, in TAPPED IN
(http://www.tappedin.org)
National History Day (NHD) is a highly regarded yearlong academic
program for elementary and secondary schools. The program makes history
every day by providing young Americans an appreciation of their heritage
and teaching them essential skills that will help them succeed in college and
the
workplace. Through the program students in grades six through twelve
conduct extensive historical research, analyze and interpret their
materials, and present their findings in historical papers, museum-style
exhibits, dramatic performances and multimedia documentaries for
evaluation by professional historians and educators.
NHD has received the Charles Frankel Prize for public programming from
the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is highlighted in the
Presidential Committee on Arts and Humanities report, "Creative
America." The program offers a model, and the means, for history
education reform. To help teachers enhance classroom history teaching
and student learning, NHD offers professional opportunities that provide
them with the latest in historical scholarship and innovative teaching methods.
NHD conducts summer teacher institutes, sponsors workshops and
conferences, and publishes curricular materials that focus on upcoming
NHD themes and methods for bringing history to life in the classroom.
Any social studies teacher (or interested educator) is invited and
encouraged to attend this session. As always, TAPPED IN help desk
personnel will be on hand to assist new users. It's suggested that
those new to TAPPED IN log in approximately 10 minutes prior to the
session in order to be assisted to the forum location. TAPPED IN is
easy-to-use, and works well in either a Windows or Macintosh environment.
Persons with questions about the forum or wishing more information are
invited to e-mail Michael Hutchison offlist.
Sincerely,
Michael Hutchison
