SPECIAL INTEREST NETWORKS
(SI-NET'S)
FOR GEOGRAPHIC EDUCATION
This geography related program, established by NCGE in 1997, is being developed at several levels and among various groups.  It is anticipated that listserv's may be set up to allow an exchange of ideas.   It is expected that SI-Nets will hold meetings at NCGE's annual meetings.   As listserv's are created, they will be identified in this section.   Also expect to see web pages in the future.
