> As a member of the AEA Committee on Economic Education I am putting

> the use of computer overhead projection techniques for lecturing, etc.) I
> am putting this session together not because I know anything about the
> subject, but because I sense the demand to learn more about the
> possibilities is high within the profession.

> Because I know little about this rapidly evolving subject, I am seeking
> your assistance in tracking down colleagues who are working in this area. I
> would welcome your suggestions of who I should contact (including yourself
> if appropriate) to explore the possibilities. (Email addresses would be
> particularly helpful.) I need to move somewhat rapidly because the sessions
> will be selected in January at the 1996 meetings in San Francisco.

> Thanks for any assistance.
