Open Directory - Kids and Teens: School Time: Science: Farming - 1 views

    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

  • 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.

    This is the best I came up with. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-163029099/organic-foods-taking-root.html I will keep searching.

    Read a dialogue between two people discussing the pros and cons of choosing organic food. Includes a worksheet for students to fill in different opinions on the pros and cons of eating organic foods.

    Hi Leelah, nice job finding and posting resources on Diigo! One issue that I noticed is that you tagged this and some other resources "BWG organic search" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" (Notice there are no spaces). 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 organic foods by simply clicking on a common tag. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Also, I noticed that you bookmarked several articles about organic food, but I don't see that you bookmarked any general search engines for kids as requested in Assignment 7 - Part 2. Thanks
  • Dov Campbell on 19 Jul 10
     
    Another thing I noticed is that because you are using spaces in your tags some of the phrases that you want to tag, for example "pros and cons of organic" are getting split up into several smaller tags. The issue with this is that it creates tags that don't have much meaning, for example "of" or "and". The best way to group a phrase as a single tag is to put quotes around the entire tag, like "pros and cons of organic". Other ways are to put underscores between words, like pros_and_cons_or_organic. And a final way is to not use spaces and to vary the capitalization, like example ProsAndConsOfOrganic.

    I'm having trouble accessing this site too. How did you access this site?
  • Kerry Roeder on 14 Jul 10
     
    Again, I got to this through my school, but I thought sirs was part of proquest and should be available to see.
  • Dov Campbell on 14 Jul 10
     
    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.

    interesting article taking the view that organic food is not necessarily the correct choice, and it certainly will not solve the world's food problem. I used another search engine--Kidinfo.com
  • anonymous on 14 Jul 10
     
    Really interesting article, LaVerne. This is the first time I've seen this point about "romanticizing" pre-industrial food practices. It's a complicated issue, but certainly worth wondering about.

      The politics behind organic foods is quite an interesting subject.
  • Steve Goss on 13 Jul 10
     
    After viewing the MonkeySee video, one thing that stood out to me was that organic foods with multiple ingredients may contain less than 100% organic food ingredients, with the remaining 5% approved non-organic ingredients. I was curious as to what that list was and this article does a nice job of explaining.
