Developing a Website
Lori writes: “Thank you for such a wonderful website. I am sure your students appreciate the info that you provide for them.

Thanks! It's so funny to actually be chatting with you. I've been reading your web site (your class web site) for years. I always refer to your essay planning outline and I often see how you outline your cyber "stuff". We work in VERY different worlds but I so appreciate what you do.
