Introduction to organic foods aimed towards teens from a good teen health database.

This is to correct the URL of my previous post.

This article supports the idea that organic foods are better for us than non organic foods.

Great documentary on food politics told from the perspective of two eleven-year old kids.

Teens Healthy(!) Habits is a good overview of what kids currently eat and how healthy their choices are. Again, may be a good article to go with the other kids perspective looks at eating and organic foods.

Could be a useful resource to illustrate concepts.

This is from the Britannica resource that BSC has as an online database resource. Always handy.

Great resource for finding organic food sellers in your area. Would be perfect for research in the field.

The look of this site and the presence of advertising make me a little cautious about its content.  What do you think about the reliability of this site as a neutral source of scientific information?  

Dr. John Swartzberg, head of the Wellness Letter Editorial Board, explains how organic food is better for the environment, but not necessarily your health

Proquest article from Vegetarian Times about how much healthier organic foods are.

No, I was not accessing it through Bank Street, I was using my school's proquest account.

If it's possible to find the same article on the BS ProQuest and then post and delete this one, that would be great. Thanks. Dov

short interesting article that deals with health(kids) organic foods

Hi LaVerne, I get an error when I click on this link. Would you be able to find the article and post it to Diigo again. After you've done that you can delete this bookmark, but clicking on More and then 'Delete this item' above.

I know we're working to find online resources, but also being able to find "analog" resources online is also helpful.

I am a big fan of the Open Directory and this is a great listing of sites for kids around food production and farming. It may be a great place to get started.

Hi Steve, I noticed that you tagged this and some other resources "BWGOrganic Search Tools" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" and/or "BGWSearchTools". While this may seem like a minor distinction, the purpose of asking students to use these specific tags is so that anybody in the course can easily find all the resources related to either organic foods or general search tools by simply clicking on a common tag for each subject. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Thanks

Done and done:)

interactive tour of an organic farm. students must find 8 things about organic farming and why they are beneficial to our environment.

I'm having trouble accessing this site too. How did you access this site?

Again, I got to this through my school, but I thought sirs was part of proquest and should be available to see.

It seems that ProQuest has a variety of different products so Bank Street may have the main ProQuest database, but not SIRS. I'll ask the librarian.

Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to make one suggestion. You will notice that the title of this bookmark is "Document View - ProQuest", which is what Diigo automatically puts in as a title when you bookmark the article. Since this is too generic and not very helpful to let other students know what the article is about, it would be useful to edit the title (either at the moment you are bookmarking or after) to include the actual title of the article. Again, thanks for your great contributions to the course.
