Cited as one of the best portals on the net for real world, educational information

         Schackne Online debuted in 1998 as a resource site for students with limited access to research facilities. The site originally consisted of four pages serving education, business, and communications majors at the University of Macao. During the next four years it developed into a designer portal site delivering up to thirty pages of resources in areas ranging from cooking to sports. Recently the site returned to its core mission of focusing on educational-informational resources.

         While the site functions as a general database for a cross section of worldwide web visitors, it is drawing increasing support from developing countries where strong educational infrastructures are lacking and the availability of uncensored global information is restricted.


              Steve Schackne has spent over 20 years in the fields of education and linguistics. In addition to teaching, his background includes teacher training, program administration, and online-distance learning. He was educated at Deerfield Academy, the University of North Carolina and the State University of New York.
