► Give yourself plenty o f time

♦A sk w hat m aterial to ex­
pect. It will be much easier to
prepare the material if you can
anticipate what will be covered. It
is also important to find out the
format o f the questions such as
true/false or essay because that
could alter your study strategy.
♦ Join a study group. A group

Nationwide connection by 1998
Projectneat (National Education
Advancement Team) Thursday an­
nounced its mission to donate inter­
active learning tools that will con­
nect every primary and secondary
school in America to the Internet by
the summer o f 1998.
The first 1,000 schools will be
connected by Oct. 26 in collabora­
tion with NetDay96, the day a na­
tional grassroots initiative is expect­
ed to wire 20,000 schools nation­
wide.
Projectneat, an independent non­
profit organization, was founded in
July 1996 by high-tech entrepreneur
Kamran Elahian, who has joined to­
gether a team o f leading companies
and associations to provide hard­
ware, software, services and content
free o f charge to schools.
"Our goal is to open a dynamic
window to the world for the children
no matter where they live or how
rich or poor their school,” said
Elahian. “Access to the Internet gives
teachers and students everywhere an
equal opportunity to use the most
exciting and interactive teaching tool
in history.”
Less than 30 percent o f the na­
tion’s approximately 107,000 schools
now have access to the Internet. Most
schools simply do not have the finan­
cial resources to pay for the comput­
ers that typically provide Internet
connection.
Cooperative and innovative ef­
forts to provide opportunities to
college graduates continue to grow
and prosper under the leadership o f
Oregon colleges and universities.
College and university Career
Centers across the state have pooled
th e ir re so u rc e s and form ed
consortiums to provide broader ac-
cess to educational and career oppor­
tunities in Oregon.
The latest venture is a state-wide
Graduate School Fair to be held at the
Oregon State Fair and Expo Center in
Salem on Wednesday, October 30 from
2:00 - 7:00 p.m. Graduate schools
across the nation in every academic
discipline have been invited to attend

Preschool openings
1997, with preference given to rural
and econom ically disadvantaged
schools. Another 66,000 SHINE
Classrooms will be equipped by June
1998, providing every primary and
secondary school in America Internet
access.
“I have co-founded five corpora­
tions in my career — all pushing new
boundaries in technology,” said
Elahian, “but never have I been as
excited about the potential o f a project
as I am about the power and potential
o f Projectneat.”
Not only does Elahian believe
Projectneat will open the world to
children in schools, he also believes
it can enrich the exchange between
kids and their families at home.
“Schools are looking for greater
p a re n ta l p a rtic ip a tio n in th e ir
childrens’ education,” said Elahian
“Projectneat’s shared learning expe­
rience gives even the busies, parents
an affordable and easy means to par­
ticipate in their child’s lessons and
even work cooperatively with teach-
ers--they can explore the world to­
gether.”
Once American schools are on­
line, E lahian p la n s to expand
Projectneat’s efforts, first in Japan,
then in E urope, and eventually
throughout the world.
“There is no greater path to under­
standing than direct communication,”
said Elahian. “If we can expose our
children to other cultures at an early
age and encourage them to interact
with each other, I have no doubt that
the world o f tomorrow will be a
better place and that our children will
be more open to global coopera­
tion.”
The team o f companies and asso­
ciations supporting Project-neat share
Elahian’s hope and vision and are
generously donating, or deeply dis­
counting product and services to
make the school donations possible.
“ We are extremely grateful to the
organizations joining us in this effort
and are confident that several more
important partnerships will be an­
nounced in the near future,” said
Elahian. “ I am proud that each o f
them is as passionate as I am about
our goal—to connect the world, one
school at a time.”
Projectneat is a California non­
profit, public-benefit corporation
dedicated to donating the equipment
and services required to link, first,
every school in America and eventu­
ally, schools throughout the world to
the Internet.
Founded by Elahian, it has head­
quarters in Santa Clara and is sup­
ported by a team o f organizations
including NetDay, Sega o f America,
Scholastic Inc., Ernst & Young and
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich Rosati. For

neat, access www.projectneat.org.

• G e t to the test site early.
Rushing to take a test could cause
stress and even panic. Get there
early to have a few quiet moments
to review your notes and gain con
1 fidence.
► G et plenty of sleep. Perform
ing successfully on a test requires
energy and alertness that are the
result o f a good night’s sleep. Set
your alarm earlier than usual to
avoid running late.
Adult role models are needed
for youth in our community. With
increasing dropout rates, pregnan­
cy, illegal drug use and gang vio­
lence, mentoring has become a
powerful avenue for providing
youth from all backgrounds with
support, attention, friendship and
reinforcement. Come to our train­

The test program, he said, was “one
o f the most exhilarating experiences
o f my professional career ”
H inebaugh praised the system 's
ease of use, low cost and sh are
learning a p p ro ach because he said
it addresses m any challenges now
facing edu cato rs including needs
to:
— utilize the vast potential o f
technology
— accom m odate the predicted
enrollm ent boom
— contain costs
— provide an environm ent fo r
connecting kids
— take into account the con­
straints on teachers ’ time
— equalize the educational ex­
perience
“When you get past the very obvi­
ous economic advantage o f this sys­
tem, it is really its interactive nature
that makes teachers and students most
excited,” said Elahian. “It creates a
shared learning environment that al­
lows you to explore, learn and inter­
act in unlimited ways.”
It is this interactive aspect o f the
system that inspired the name given
classrooms that receive Projectneat
equipm ent: SH IN E C lassroom s,
which stands for “Shared Internet
Experience.”
Projectneat intends to establish
40,000 SHINE Classrooms by June

“ It could cost more than $110
billion to buy the traditional com put­
ers necessary to provide Internet ac­
cess to every student in school to­
day,” said Elahian “ I started think­
ing about it one night and decided
there had to be an easier, more af­
fo rd a b le w ay— the re su lt is
Projectneat.”
Rather than relying on computers
for Internet access, Projectneat of­
fers schools a new and cooperative
access system.
Projectneat takes
advantage o f a new breed o f access
devices called Internet appliances,
which provide a simple pushbutton-
type o f user interface that accesses
information displayed on a large tele­
vision screen.
“Not only does this system ad­
dress the cost issue, it also makes it
extremely easy for anybody, no mat­
ter how inexperienced, to access the
Net,” said Elahian. “Even more im­
portantly for schools, the display o f
information on a television screen
enables groups o f students — rather
than just one student at a time — to
interact.”
A pilot test o f the Projectneat sys­
tem conducted this summer in North­
ern California earned high praise from
both educators and students. Princi­
pal Nick Hinebaugh, whose school
district was the first to receive a
Projectneat system, described it as
“an absolutely perfect technology
