Links to Educational Organizations and Resources
A wide variety of useful material is available on the Web; so much so that a complete, up-to-date, and "perfectly" organized page of links is probably beyond expectation. It has been suggested that the links be separated into groups based on whether they link to organizations or to resources; however, so many of the organizations provide extensive resources of various kinds that such a grouping would be difficult. Actually, that "perfect" page would probably involve lots of well-organized, interrelated web pages that would take considerable work to create and maintain. Clearly, this is task worthy of our Earth Science Education Committee to consider, and anyone else willing to help.
