Are there other useful GED on-line resources which you think should be added? Have you -- or your students -- used the online instructional resources listed there? If so, are they useful, and if so, for whom? Since there isn't a GED teachers national list (as far as I am aware) please forward this message to others who you think may be interested. David J.
