If you do know Greek and are studying the New Testament, then this may be a lifesaver. OK, not a lifesaver, but at least a great timesaver. In fact, that’s part of the name, so it must be true!
If you don’t know Greek, this essay is not for you. Stop reading now.

Earlier this week, everyone was out of the office and I had oportunity to talk to a blind person who was trying to use our site. She wanted to read the bible and was having problems using our NETBible on line study tool. http://netbible.org Our page is not designed for blind users. Her text to speech program was reading every link across the page from top to bottom.

Valeria Silva, who arrived in the United States from Chile 24 years ago without speaking English, was chosen to be superintendent of the St. Paul schools because of “her deep knowledge of the district and her expertise in teaching English-language learners,” says a story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
She took up leadership of the district last month. I wrote an article about how ELL specialists and classroom teachers were team-teaching in St. Paul schools in 2006, when Silva was still directing programs for such students there and before she was promoted to be chief academic officer for the district.
