Newsletter
Subscription: Education World:
http://www.education-world.com/maillist.shtml
Education World is a search engine that bills itself as the Educator's Complete
Resource Guide to the Internet. The founders wanted to create a home for
educators on the Internet, a place where teachers could gather and share ideas.
Education World's goal is to make it easy for educators to integrate the
Internet into the classroom. With 95% of the nation's public schools expected
to be online by the year 2000, the need for a complete online educational guide
is evident. They have succeeded. Education World is one of my favorite sites. I
suggest you subscribe to their weekly newsletter as well as some of the other
lists they have available.
