The rows in the spreadsheet

correspond with the tabs on each

the Credit / CEU tab.

Read, Discover, Go Beyond

These tabs will have the most editing.

Carefully check each link and resource.

Your suggestions of new resources or articles

will be appreciated.

Think “rigor”! Start each comment on a link

(resource) with a verb.

See Bloom’s Action

Verbs list in folder.

Learning Paths

You might find it helpful to look at the Learning Path for your Thing as you go along. It will give you a nice overview of what’s

currently there.

go along.

make.
