Jim Dildine's TIMeS website

These are lessons I created for the TIMeS grant during the Summer/Fall of 2004. They are in .pdf or .doc format. (Acrobat format - www.adobe.com - will give you the reader you need for the files and MS Word format -you can get Open Office from www.openoffice.org to open the .doc files if you do not have MS Office). If you encounter problems loading any of these documents feel free to drop me a line.

These lessons utilize various web resources which are listed below the lessons. The links are also included within the lessons.
