Beyond Google - Improve Your Search Results | Free Technology for Teachers
"While working with some of my colleagues in a workshop earlier this week, I was reminded that a lot of people aren't familiar with tools and strategies for refining Internet search results. In response to that experience, I sat down this morning and created this short guide to 15 tools and strategies for helping your students (and your colleagues) improve their Internet search results. I've embedded the guide below in two different forms which you can download for free."
Schoolr.com
Schoolr is the only academic resource you'll need : Google, Dictionary.com,Thesaurus.com, Wikipedia, Acronym Finder, NCSU, unitconversion, Bablefish, and Wolfram-Alpha.
Alice.org
"Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience. "
CreateChange.org
"In the age of the Internet, the ways you share and use academic research results are changing — rapidly, fundamentally, irreversibly. There’s great potential in change. After all, faster and wider sharing of journal articles, research data, simulations, syntheses, analyses, and other findings fuels the advance of knowledge. It’s a two-way street — sharing research benefits you and others. But will the promise of digital scholarship be fully realized? How will yesterday’s norms adapt to tomorrow’s possibilities?"
WebExhibits.org
Founded in 1999, WebExhibits is an interactive, online museum of science, humanities, and culture. Whether you’re looking for a quick answer to a specific question or want to delve deeply into a topic, we hope that the exhibits’ information, virtual experiments, and hands-on activities prompt you to think, to formulate questions, and to explore topics from a variety of angles.
Art Images for College Teaching
Art Images for College Teaching (AICT) is a personal, non-profit project of its author, art historian and visual resources curator Allan T. Kohl . AICT is intended primarily to disseminate images of art and architectural works in the public domain on a free-access,
free-use basis to all levels of the educational community, as well as to the public at large. The images displayed on this site have been photographed on location by the author, who consents to their use in any application that is both educational and non-commercial in nature.
Test Link Overview
"The Test Collection at ETS is a database of more than 25,000 tests and other measurement devices most of which were created by authors outside ETS. It makes information on standardized tests and research instruments available to researchers, graduate students and teachers. With information about tests from the early 1900s to the present, the Test Collection at ETS is the largest compilation in the world. The tests in this collection were acquired from a variety of U.S. publishers and individual test authors. Foreign tests are also included in the collection, including some from Canada, Great Britain and Australia."
Test Reviews Online
Search by alphabetic or category listings of test titles, or by keyword. You will find free information on over 3500 commercially available tests.
EpistemeLinks.com
"EpistemeLinks includes over 19,000 categorized links to philosophy resources on the Internet and has several additional features. Online since early 1997, this site is free to use, and doesn't require user registration of any kind. Begin browsing the site by using the Philosophers or Topics links below, or by using the link category or special feature links below. See also the Custom Search Engines for philosophy."
WebMuseum
The WebMuseum was not made as part of any official or supported project. There's not grant behind that, it is total pleasureware (tm). I decided to start working on this exhibit because I felt more artistic stuff was needed on the Internet, so the WebMuseum took over my free time (nights and week-ends...) since mid-march 1994. Some companies may be trying to get a monopolistic grab on arts and culture, developing a pay-per-view logic, shipping out CD-ROMs while trying to patent stuff which belongs to each of us: a part of our human civilization and history. This exhibit is not trying to compete in any way with books or specialized CD-ROMs. Such an Internet exhibit will neither reach the quality of paper reproduction and professional critic, nor will it be as easily available as a local CD-ROM, given the transfer time on the Internet.
Education Review
education review (ISSN: 10945296) publishes reviews of recent books in education, covering the entire range of education scholarship and practice. Education review is made available to the public without cost as a service of the Mary Lou Fulton Institute and Graduate School of Education at Arizona State University and the Michigan State University Libraries.
Academy of Achievement
The American Academy of Achievement's extensive collection of exclusive, first-person interviews with its honorees is available to parents, teachers and students on the American Academy of Achievement's website (www.achievement.org). In addition to written interview transcripts, this online Virtual Museum also features a Gallery of Achievement that includes video footage of insightful discussions with Academy members. Visitors can access our extensive online library and discover which books made a difference in the early lives of eminent achievers. This interactive museum of living history includes an area devoted to Achievement TV curriculum materials and broadcast highlights. The Academy could not be more pleased that our website receives more than 20 million hits per month from educators and students around the world. Our mission is to bring the inspiring life stories of the eminent achievers of our time to the fingertips of every student, teacher and parent -- and that is precisely what the Internet allows us to do.
British Education Index
The British Education Index supports the professional study of education by facilitating the identification and use of specific reading matter and event-related information.
ASCD.org
ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is a membership organization that develops programs, products, and services essential to the way educators learn, teach, and lead.
EducationNext.org
In the stormy seas of school reform, this journal will steer a steady course, presenting the facts as best they can be determined, giving voice (without fear or favor) to worthy research, sound ideas, and responsible arguments. Bold change is needed in American K–12 education, but Education Next partakes of no program, campaign, or ideology. It goes where the evidence points.
American School Board Journal
Welcome to American School Board Journal, an award-winning, editorially independent education magazine published monthly by the National School Boards Association. Founded in 1891, American School Board Journal chronicles change, interprets issues, and offers readers—some 50,000 school board members and school administrators—practical advice on a broad range of topics pertinent to school governance and management, policy making, student achievement, and the art of school leadership. In addition, regular departments cover education news, school law, research, and new books.
Ejournals in Education | AERA SIG Communication of Research
"The AERA SIG Communication of Research is developing a wiki-based tool for an annotated list of these electronic journals. This wiki will be announced at the 2009 AERA Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA, at the Business Meeting for the SIG. To the best of our ability to discern, we have included only links to electronic journals that are scholarly, peer-reviewed, full text and accessible without cost. We have excluded professional magazines that are largely not refereed, and commercial journals that may only allow access to a very limited number of articles as an enticement to buy. By restricting membership in this way on the list that follows, we hope to do what little we can to promote free access world wide to scholarship in education."
OurDocuments.gov
"To help us think, talk and teach about the rights and responsibilities of citizens in our democracy, we invite you to explore 100 milestone documents of American history. These documents reflect our diversity and our unity, our past and our future, and mostly our commitment as a nation to continue to strive to "form a more perfect union.""
