Links
| Just Because | |
| • | Packer Plus Online - Keep up with current events on the storied NFL franchise. |
| • | Shockwave - Destination for some of the best online diversions |
| • | Official Time - When you just have to know the official time to the nearest second. |
| • | Geocaching - Using GPS to locate hidden caches. You'd be surprised how many you pass everyday! |
This page will never contain many links. The ones that are here are definitely worth checking out. I hope you'll find them useful.
| Education | |
| • | Library of Congress - Alright, this one isn't unknown ... but there is more cool info here than any place on the web. The American Memory section has an incredible amount of primary source material. |
| • | The WebQuest Page - Conceptualized by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, WebQuests are currently the most effective learning tools using the Web. Bernie keeps this site stocked with resources and links to some of the best WebQuests out there. |
| • | Blue Web'n - With millions of Internet sites out there, the challenge is finding ones that are useful for education. Pac Bell (now SBC) has made things easier by putting together this collection of sites. They are categorized and searchable by content and grade level. |
| • | Marcopolo - Founded by the ill-fated WorldCom Corp.—but now on its own—Marcopolo is content for the classroom organized into major subject areas. They have associations with the some of the major professional organizations (AAAS, NCTE, National Geographic). A great place to look for resources. |
| • | Online Books Page - Not a pretty page, but from here you can find links to full-text versions of tens of thousands of public domain books. |
| Web Tools | |
| • | Furl - Keeping track of important links as you move between various computers is a challenge. Furl allows you to save and organize your links and keeps them always accessible. It even archives a version of the page you visited. |
| • | Yahoo Groups - A fabulous tool for keeping groups in touch. Listserve, chat, file sharing, polls, and more. I'll even confess to using the 40MB space as an online hard drive. |
| • | Google - Easily the best search tool available right now; great for finding images, too! Schools can add a Google search to their web sites for free. To learn how to use Google like a pro, check out this job aid from Bernie Dodge. |
| • | Symantec Security Response - Get an email warning of a catastrophic virus? Before you email your entire address book check it out here. There is a link on hoaxes as well to keep you from becoming part of the problem. |
