This is exactly what we are looking for. I was especially pleased with the activities associated with it. I will also pass along your idea aabout the net cards for consideration by the curriculum team. Would you mind giving me your snail mail address, telephone number, fax, etc, in case they want to contact you further? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
