Information Age Education (A New Project)

The Information Age Education project provides free resources to help improve education to people of all ages throughout the world.

One component is an Information Age Education Wiki available at http://IAE-pedia/. People from throughout the world are free to contribute materials and edit the materials submitted by others. The software and general approach being used are similar to that being used by the Wikipedia.

A second component focusses on materials that can be read online and/or downloaded under a Creative Commons Licence 3.0. All of the books listed above, plus additional books, are available at the Website http://i-a-e.org/.

Other Free Materials: These are books, articles, editorials, and Websites that I have developed and that I make available free of charge.

Oregon Technology in Education Council: An extensive Website I maintain to support the work of the Oregon Technology in Education Council.

Presentations: Some of my talks, workshops, and consulting topics and areas.

Quotations: Brief quotes that I feel I might someday use in my writings.

Teaching: Courses that I have taught in recent years.
