New Website: Rethinking Schools

Posted by on October 4, 2002

Leon Lynn from Rethinking Schools here. We’re proud to announce that our completely redesigned website is up and running!

The web address is the same: http://www.rethinkingschools.org.

You’ll find the new site easier on the eye, easier to navigate, and easier to search. “Crumb trails” at the top of every page will help you find your way, and new menus on every text page will help you quickly locate related articles and other interesting stuff.

We’ve kept all of the old site’s most popular features, including the complete text of our quarterly journal, selections from our books, a searchable index, and simple and secure online ordering.

To kick off our redesigned Just For Fun section, we’re offering an interactive map game that challenges you to drag and drop the correct names on every Middle Eastern country, from Western Sahara to Kyrgyzstan. (Need a little help? Don’t worry, the Just For Fun page also has links to large and small PDF maps of the Middle East with all country names in place ? perfect for downloading and printing for classroom use.) Check it out at:

Rethinking Schools Online is now entering its seventh year on the web ? an eternity by Internet standards. The new site lets us take advantage of the latest web technology, and everything that’s been learned about site design and ease-of-use since 1996.

There are a few bugs we are still dealing with: for example, some of the site’s graphics may not render correctly on some older Netscape browsers. But we’re working on it. (And you can always upgrade to a newer browser for free at http://www.netscape.com)

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to visit the new site and let us know what you think, good or bad. Please send your comments to:
