You've read the guide. You've seen demonstrations. You're now ready to read the magazine with poise and confidence. Before you do, however, we at Ties have a note of thanks and a request.

First, we'd like to thank Anthony Sapienza from the online magazine The Spook. He helped us get our first online issue off the ground and we are grateful for his assistance. He also suggested including a handy navigation guide, like this one (which owes a lot to his "The Spook for Mummies". Thanks, Anthony.

If, after you've read our articles here concerning design, technology, and innovative classroom activities you have an urge to read a unique mix of fiction, nonfiction, and other odds-and-ends, head over to The Spook.

Now that we've sent some traffic The Spook's way, we'd like to get some hits of our own. If you've read our magazine and like what you've seen, let your friends, family, and colleagues know! We think we publish an informative magazine which benefits teachers of all disciplines. Do them a favor and let them know about us. Send them to www.tiesmagazine.org!

Thanks for reading!
