We would like to get feedback from Extension agents, specialists and staff regarding what kinds of technologies are
or could be useful in performing your work. Please take some time to answer the technology survey, at
http://cals.arizona.edu/exact/tech/. Ideally, we will be able to create a "wish list" for future planning,
as well as get an idea of what is being used currently. Please respond to this survey by Monday, December 5, 2005.

ECAT will be giving three back-to-back sessions on Nov 18 in Forbes 124 aimed at more experienced users of Dreamweaver. The first
session is on creating and using templates to facilitate management of a site. The second session deals with using style sheets to
separate formatting from content. The last session will demonstrate how to use styles to create text that looks like buttons and
how to keep parts of the web page from printing (like a navigation area). More details and links to a registration form are at
http://cals.arizona.edu/ecat/classes/. The three back-to-back sessions run from 8:30 to 12:30 on Nov 18th. You may attend one,
two or all three sessions, depending on your experience.
