January seems ambitiously soon, but you are probably right.  I wonder what
the right first approach is.  Maybe we advertise at our pilot schools and at
HGSE and the other ed schools in the area.  If we even got only 5-10
teacherish types it would be a success and that really shouldn't be hard. Ok
Mel you've convinced me :)

How long a workshop?
What time and day would be best for our audience?
We should be able to grab space as part of the FUDCON and general
conferences right?
