PAFET Operating Committee, April 1996

PAFET Operating Committee meeting and agenda. Held in Phoenix, AZ. Includes documents about “Elect to Connect,” a project involving Newspapers in Education.

The NIE Project was initially established as an experiment in conducting joint development within PAFET. This area was selected in part based on the existing relationships (and history of collaboration) among PAFET NIE representatives. After several discussions, the group decided to focus the project on jointly developing curriculum to support the 1996 Elections. The curriculum would contain both a print and “new media” component (e.g. online/Internet, diskette, and/or CD-ROM).
