  • The difference between "organic" and "natural" foods is that the word "natural" isn't regulated. Manufacturers can call any product "natural," except for meat and poultry. It would be up to the consumer to decide whether to trust the company. Not so with organics.

      Great piece of information I did not find elsewhere.

    Hi Steve, when I try to access this site it asks for a "UserGroup Identification". How did you access this resource?

    I accessed all of these resources through the Bank Street Library databases. Since I did my work from the school I had direct access. I assume that if you use the Bank Street Library log on information that everyone received, you would be able to access this resource.

    Unfortunately the code that we were given doesn't work on this prompt. I will write to Kristen and see if there's a fix for this.

    Dov - were you able to get a code to access this doc? I would love to read this as it seems to be relevant to my search! Thanks

    Unfortunately not. Steve, I noticed that this article came from the Albany Times Union. If you don't mind could you try to find the article on their website and post the link in the comments here or as a separate bookmark. Thanks.

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

    Clearly compares the benefits of organic grown foods and the conventionally grown foods. Short and easy to read for kids.

    I like how this website has kid-friendly search engines listed!!

    Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to offer a couple of suggestions. You will notice that above that the site that you bookmarked here is www.kidinfo.com. While it's true that this is the main site where you found the article "Organic Foods Are They Safer?, by bookmarking only the front page of the site kidinfo.com instead of the specific page with the article that you want it makes it so that anybody clicking on the link above will still need to navigate the site in order to find this specific article instead of being able to click on the link and going directly to the page. Unfortunately Diigo does not provide a way to edit the address (URL) of sites you have already bookmarked, so if you wanted to make this change you would have to delete the bookmark by clicking on More and then "Delete this Item" above and after you would need to find the article again and re-save it to Diigo. A second suggestion is to add several other tags beyond the required "BGWOrganicSearch" or "BGWSearchTools". For example, the above reference article may discuss specific themes related to organic foods, for example safety or pesticides. By adding the tags "Safety" or "Pesticides" it helps to build a library of tags within Diigo that can be used to quickly differentiate articles based on sub-topics. To add additional tags to bookmarks that are already on Diigo you can click on the More above and then Edit. Again thanks for your great contributions to the course. Please let me know if you have any questions on the suggestions above.
