Greetings! This list was designed for a class I taught on "Exploring the Internet - Resources for Leaders". You can view the "desired learning objectives" I developed for when I taught the class, and that I used as an outline, too.
On this list, I've tried to list the links alphabetically, and some of the sites have been put under multiple categories to make sure they are easy to find. Please let me know when you find a link that no longer works! Thanks!
