Focused
reference sites contain lists of links that focus on particular lessons.
There are thousands on the web, but teachers can and should create their
own. Below you will find a few sites created for class projects,
and a tool to make that easy. Teachers need to know that Microsoft
Office products now all give the option of "saving to the web", which means
they can make a web page as easily as they can type a memo. And,
CUIP will give them a place to put it on the Internet.
