Encyclopedia of Educational Technology

The Encyclopedia of Educational Technology (EET) is a collection of short multimedia articles on a variety of topics related to the fields of instructional design and education and training. The primary audiences for the EET are students and novice to intermediate practitioners in these fields, who need a brief overview as a starting point to further research on specific topics. Authors are graduate students, professors, and others who contribute voluntarily. Articles are short and use multimedia to enrich learning rather than merely decorate the pages.

Introduction to Web Tools

Welcome to the "Methods to the Madness" blog. I hope that we can use this blog as a gathering place for all of our weekly tool/learning meetings. If anyone has any comments or suggestions please use the comment feature below to leave them on this page.

Until we get started I thought I'd post a couple of things that might help put us all in the right frame of mind and that hopefully will be beneficial to you as you go forward dealing with any "madness" that might be awaiting you.
