Welcome to the Internet Support Page for Education 300, School, Work and Society. While this page was designed for classes taught by Professor T.R. Anderson, all students are encouraged to investigate it's usefulness. The purpose of the page is to tie legitimate sources of recently attained quality information directly to assignments and activities of 300. It will be like having one's own personal library available twenty four hours a day. Sometimes the professor will direct the student to a pre-selected site and on other occasions the student will use the power of the Web search capabilities. Scroll down and check it out. Use the e-mail connection to record comments or pose questions.
These Links connect to course materials for sections of Educ 300 taught by T.R. Anderson:
Welcome to the wonderful world of teaching. Throughout the semester you'll be using this page to explore information and gather resources related to a variety of class assignments.
