Information!
The information for student questioning that was originally posted here was reproduced directly, without attribution, from copyrighted material on the "From Now On" Web site. (They were taken from the following source: http://www.fno.org/toolbox.html)
At the time this page was compiled the author had few Web design skills and no idea of the importance of honoring copyright issues. The information contained in this section is extremely useful to educators; however, I now realize the importance of receiving permission from the author(s) of work to be posted and the great need to include acknowledgment of your sources when they are used. We do this all the time when we use "BOOK" sources -- It is time to wake up and give the same credit to electronic sources as well.
I would like to sincerely apologize to Jamie McKenzie (The editor of From Now On) for my insensitive use of his material. I have not updated this portion of my education page since it was placed on the Web -- You can be assured that this will NEVER happen in any future Web design that I undertake.
Thank you Mr. McKenzie for your fine work, your patience, and your understanding.
