In The "Well Here Goes File:" You came looking for "links related to origami and education" so straight from my "file - well one of them!" here it just as I built it (for clean up and furture use.... But easy to read and full of good stuff: I return here to check these links as time allows. Please forgive me if some links are not working or no longer available when you visit.
