Educators' Resources on the WWW; "Only a beginning..."
(The Final) Version XXIV; July '09
A note from Jim on 12/31/09: "I would like to say thanks and good luck to all of the thousands of educators I have had the chance to work personally with in my years as an independent consultant, and to everyone who has made use of my list of resources over the years. A special thanks goes to those who shared their favorite resources with me, the people who taught me that my five favorite words are, "Jim, have you seen this?" So hard to believe 24 versions means 12 years of updates...
JimMoulton.org, Inc. is now "excused," as the Maine Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions puts it, and I am now working full time as an Apple Professional Development Specialist focused on Maine's Learning Technology Initiative. I am so pleased to have the chance to bring my knowledge and skills back home, and to be part of such a wonderful team of professionals all focused on making the most of the tremendous opportunities the MLTI represents. Best wishes to all, and please continue to make good use of web-based resources in support of all learners. Oh, one more thing - this list will remain available until April 1, 2010."
Easily add this list to your "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" by pressing the Apple key and "D" on a Mac, or the Control key and "D" on a Windows machine.
