A Look Back at 2001
from editor in chief Gary Hopkins

'Twas the end of the year,
And all through the site
Ed World's editors pored
To pick out highlights.
Our lists of best stuff
We did edit and tweak
To show you what made
This great year so unique!

A banner year for Ed World was 2001!
The biggest change came 'round at mid-year.
