The Educational Value of Field Trips - 1 views

  •  
    At our last deanery meeting, Christine Ferreri discussed various 7th and 8th grade field trips. There was some discussion on how can we fit in field trips and cover everything in the curriculum. Christine explained how field trips are part of the curriculum and how important they are since we cannot duplicate these experiences in the classroom.

Peacebuilding Toolkit for Educators - 1 views

  •  
    One of the Themes of Catholic Social Teaching is Rights and Responsibilities. Every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities--to one another, to our families, and to the larger society. The Peacebuiliding Toolkit for Educators helps Middle School teachers guide students in their critical thinking process and foster nonviolent conflict resolution.

Think Tank Search - Think Tank Search - Research Guides at Harvard Library - 2 views

    Think Tank Search is a custom Google search of more than 575 think tank websites. For the purposes of this search, think tanks are defined as institutions affiliated with universities, governments, advocacy groups, foundations, non-governmental organizations, and businesses that generate public policy research, analysis, and activity. Inclusion is based upon the relevancy of subject area to HKS coursework and scholarship, the availability of the think tank's research in full-text on the website, and the think tank's reputation and influence upon policy making. The list represents a mixture of partisan and non-partisan think tanks.

How do I use Google Scholar to find free scholarly articles? - 1 views

  •  
    How do I use Google Scholar to find scholarly articles that I canaccess for free? New! Learn how to find free, full-text articles with Google Scholar in a simple video tutorial! Google Scholar is a specialized search engine which looks much like Google web search, but searches only for scholarly articles and books. The search results list from a Google Scholar search will list citations for articles, and may provide links to free or fee-based full-text articles. Sometimes, a link to find the full-text article using D'Amour Library subscriptions will appear in a citation as well; this feature is only available when searching Google Scholar from the campus network of Western New England University.

    I just recently learned about this search and shared it with family members. I am surprised I haven't heard of others talking about it, as I would think this search would cut down on wasted search-time.

Great Worksheets - 0 views

  •  
    One of the things that I love about creating worksheets on this site is that no two are the same. When students have the ability to open a worksheet online, they will often search for the answers. Since this cannot be duplicated, they cannot go home with a homework page that they can instantly find the answers.
  •  
    I also love using math-aids.com because this site gives the ability to create different practice for a variety of skills for many different levels.
