INFORMED SOFTWARE BUYER KEY TO EDUCATIONAL REFORM SAYS EDITOR

Educators struggling to find money in their budgets for computers have a
further surprise:  computers need software programs which relate to their
specific classroom needs. Parents trying to offset the slow pace of school
reform through use of home computers find salesperson know little about
K-12 software.

"It's understandable," says Earl L. Fultz, editor of the educational
newsletter, EPIEgram. "First of all, the amount of K-12 software programs
is staggering -- more than 10,000 from some 1100 publishers and more
arriving at the rate 100 to 200 per month." Reviewing, he adds, is
"haphazard and not always reliable."

Help, however, has arrived. EPIEgram, the Newsletter of Software and
Systems for Learning, is making it easier for educators and parents to
find the right software. Through its affiliation with EPIE Institute,
publisher of "The Latest and Best of TESS" (software selector), EPIEgram
each month publishes information on the latest K-12 releases from
educational software publishers, gleaned from the TESS database.

In addition to data on new K-12 programs, EPIEgram also carries the latest
on new systems, on trends in educational reform, success stories such as
Indian River County in Florida, the first "wired" community in America,
and other essential information for teachers and parents intent on
utilizing computer based learning.

EPIEgram, the Newsletter of Software & Systems for Learning, is available
for $65 for the full school year. To order, call or write EPIEgram,
