Organic.org - Organic Field Trip - 1 views

    Found this through Sweet Search and thought it may be a good reading to go along with the documentary.
  •  
    I really liked this article b/c it was very informative. The style of the writing, however, might not be "appreciated" by the 7th and 8th graders in my school.

    Citation Website
  •  
    Great site for FREE citation. I have used it for years - the students can create accounts and keep track of resources and create a Works Cited page at end.

    I have used this site for several years. It creates an advanced search in Google. You can designate a search for .edu, .gov sites or encyclopedias (good for pre-searching, etc.).

    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?
  •  
    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

SIRS Knowledge Source: Subject Heading Search - 0 views

    • Kerry Roeder
       
      sirs is a great starting point for students to begin research and the research tools are really useful.
  •  
    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.

    A unique site for investigating almost any controversial issue.  According to the statement on the homepage, "We promote critical thinking, education, and informed citizenship by presenting research on controversial issues in a straightforward, nonpartisan, and primarily pro-con format."

    This is a great resource for teachers looking to limit their students' searches to a collection of specific sites.  Try creating a quick search to test it.

38 Non-Organic Ingredients Found in 'USDA Organic' Foods - The Daily Green - 2 views

    • Steve Goss
       
      The politics behind organic foods is quite an interesting subject.
  •  
    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.

    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.
