While the storm was awake with fury, Lisa dreamed about the Internet Education Project (IEP).</div> <bR> <div> The Internet Education Project is a community project to teach the resident's of Lisa's hometown of Chelsea, the educational power of the Internet. This project will show  the residents of Chelsea how to use the Internet for research and fact finding, incorporating ebooks and online libraries into the school system, and make the residents aware of other educational benefits of the Internet.</div> <bR> <div> The IEP is a big endeavor. However, it is a project that Lisa strongly believes in. Lisa knows that the Internet can help her achieve her goal.</div> <bR> <div> Communication is a key element to making IEP a reality. The IEP involves the efforts of many. The team and potential participants have conflicting schedules. There are many decisions to make, ideas to reviews, and opinions to express. </div> <bR> <div> The following chapters explain how Lisa uses the Internet to make the IEP a reality. </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Email</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Bulletin Boards</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Researching Online</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Digital Media</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Chat Rooms</div> <bR> <div> <B>Author's Note</B>: I am interested in your views.
