NOTES
If I’ve interested you at all in using SF for education, here’s some information about how to do so. First of all there’s “Reading for the Future,” a group of teachers, librarians, writers, parents, and fans (and, of course, people who fit into several of these categories) – there is a website and an email mailing list associated with this group. The magazine “Science News” has a web site “Science News for Kids” with SF content updated every week by Julie Czerneda.
Also there’s the AboutSF.com web site with SF lesson plans and a speaker’s database – if you’re looking for a speaker, the site will find those who are near by you. If you’re willing to speak, I encourage you to sign up there.
