Education

Hi friends
I like this site.Education can be seen as a product or a process and considered in a broad sense or a technical sense.In its broad sense, education refers to any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual...In its technical sense education is the process by which society, through schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions, deliberately transmits its cultural heritage--its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills--from one generation to another.
What a great page full of informative educational resources. My only complaint about the way the site is set up is that when you are leaving a comment you can not see the original page that you are commenting on when you are typing a comment in, I hope that made sense. Eric
