"In this e-paper, I describe a structured approach to inquiry-based learning that uses the World Wide Web as a primary information resource. Specifically, I address an intuitive 8-step process that begins with an essential question and ends with a knowledge product produced by students, typically completed in a cooperative setting. I also discuss the skills required by both student and teacher to make inquiry-based learning and the Internet a successful endeavor. Finally, I discuss the components of a Project Page, an online document that facilitates the learning process and support the reader with Web links relating to inquiry-based learning."

"These web-based resources are intended for librarians, technology coordinators, students, parents, teachers, and administrators. However, others interested in life-long learning will also find useful information. " Unlike other journals with a specific publication date, this journal is updated throughout each "season". Each new article contains the volume, number, and date for the purpose of citation. The articles were designed for use as conference sessions or professional development workshops. Keep in mind that most of the resources have not been updated since their original publication date.

Unless otherwise indicated, all articles are written by Annette Lamb.

Knowtes optimizes your study. By adding a card to your Knowtes memory, it becomes due at optimized intervals. The Knowtes Adaptive Learning Engine then adjusts how frequently you have to study cards in your memory based on how well you do on them. No more wasting time on cards you already know by heart.

You can even visually watch your cards move from short to long-term memory as you study them!"

Popling's motto is "Learning without studying". This website allows you to create virtual flash cards that pop up on a computer screen every few minutes (teachers determine how often) while students work on the computer. Classroom computers can be set up with Poplings about any subject. As students are working on the computers they can also be practicing math facts, vocabulary, geography, etc. These flash cards are a great way for students to study without creating sets and sets of 3×5 notecards.

"Howtoons are cartoons showing kids of all ages "How To" build things. Each illustrated episode is a stand-alone fun adventure accessible to all. Our Howtoons are designed to encourage children to be active participants in discovering the world through Play-that-Matters -- fun, creative, and inventive -- and to rely a lot less on mass-consumable entertainment.

Much like MIT has OpenCourseWare distributing curricular materials for college students worldwide, our Howtoons are OpenKidsWare, with practical build-it projects letting kids learn-by-doing, MIT-style!"
