    \n\nAre you eating as healthily as you can? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby examine the ins and outs of organic food. Discover what makes organic food organic, and how it differs from non-organic food. You'll find out which government organization is in charge of regulating organic labels and about the laws controlling what can be labeled organic. Plus, you can learn about the benefits and drawbacks to organic farming, as well as what its supporters claim about the health benefits of organic food. So microwave yourself a nice bowl of organic, fair-trade popcorn and enjoy the movie!\n

    Great find. Brain Pop is a great site with plenty of useful information on a variety of topics for educators. And I'm not just saying that because I sit on the Brain Pop Advisory Board. http://www.brainpop.com/about/advisors/

    Hi Kerry, I'm having trouble accessing this link. This can happen when sites are found through deepweb sites such as ProQuest since they are trying to protect their content. When I click on the link I'm asked for a username and password. I am going to contact the Bank Street librarian and see if she has a username and password that we can use to access the site via this method. In the meantime, if you don't mind, could you post how to find this article through ProQuest (perhaps by Document ID) so that others in the class can access the resource. Thanks

    After some further investigation, I found that if I bookmarked a site directly from the Bank Street ProQuest site that there was no problem accessing it through Diigo. A couple questions: are you accessing ProQuest through Bank Street? Are you accessing it from home or on campus?
  • Kerry Roeder on 14 Jul 10
     
    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

    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.
