The book was reviewed by Gerald Haigh in the Feb. 17, 2005 issue. Excerpts:

"Astonishingly helpful"

"Most of us will be grateful for this"

"A big bonus...is that you get the book on CD-Rom, too, which not only makes the index easy to search, but also means you don't have to type in the web addresses, which are sometimes long and complicated."

I love resources -- especially Internet resources! Besides being free (most of the time), they're readily accessible and provide the public with more information than they can probably handle :). For those involved in education and improving our children's schools -- whether you're a parent, teacher, principal, or higher up in the world of education, a listing of resources for educational websites is greatly welcomed.

The book, "Essential Websites for Educational Leaders in the 21st Century," by James Lerman, provides such a listing. In his book, James conveniently lists over 300 websites relating in some way to the area of education. These websites have been researched, gathered, and organized into 25 categories, such as General Reference, Homework Help, Projects, and Young Children. In order to make the list, each website had to pass certain guidelines so that readers would have the best possible selection. James describes each website, explains what makes each an important resource for education, and tells how educational leaders might make use of each resource.

MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- what a wonderful collection of websites, not only for those involved in the field of education, but also for those just interested in learning, and in ways, making their lives easier with the knowledge found at these websites. The information in this book is very useful, well-organized, and easily accessible. We are proud to say that one of our websites, PrintableChecklists.com, has been selected for inclusion in this book. Thank you James, for providing a book that will make life easier for educators, parents and others involved in the area of education.
