WELCOME to the 100th Issue of EduHound Weekly!

When I created EduHound and decided to add a companion weekly newsletter, I never imagined we'd reach our 100th issue so soon. These past few years have flown by since the premier issue on May 5, 2000! As we reflect on the past 100 issues and look ahead to the next, one major hope comes immediately to mind -- we'd like to hear from all of YOU much more! What educational issues or topics would you like more information on? What kind of resources can help you achieve your educational goals? And what more can we do to help you in your efforts? Email and let us know at: EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com

From the Desk of Judi!

This week's topic is:
