A college thesis about creating depth maps from monocular and stereoscopic images; it's very interesting.

This website gives information on marriage laws throughout the US. Information is presented on an easy to read map -- very interesting.

This website was what I found after looking at a website that involved a blank book you could buy. Considering I did not want to buy a book, I researched ways that I could improvise but have the same effect and I found this website. It helped me map out what I needed to do in order to meet my goal.

This site makes finding the major and finer structures of the brain easy. The intuitive layout lets the user go through the brain, slice by slice, to reveal actual MRI data and drawn pictures that are clearly labeled to indicate surface and subcortical structures. You can zoom in on actual microscope pictures to reveal cells in the brain and see detailed pictures of how they connect. The detailed pictures use horizontal axis (top of brain to bottom), coronal axis (front to back), and sagittal axis (side to side) scans so that you are able to develop a picture of a three dimensional map of the human brain, in your mind. One of the hardest things to picture when I first began researching about the anatomy of the human brain, was picturing where all the subcortical structures were positioned in relation to each other. By using the many informative anatomical and chemical maps, I was able to clear up the issues I had had with trying to visualize a three dimensional model. This source is very reliable, as it uses real images for the slices you see as you navigate the brain. This source also comes from the University Institut für Anatomie, so the data was observed first hand there, making it reliable. I will be using this information that I have gathered to add to my brain portfolio document, and will be a useful tool if I decide to make a three dimensional model of the brain.

Monkton, Vermont detailed profile. In this website, you can type in any city, and it will give you all sorts of data on that town. I used it for Monkton, VT. It gives you information about the people, the land, and so much more.

Piktochart is a media form (sort of like prezi) that lets you choose a template and make your own informational graphic, which can include pictures, your own text, and features like graphs, interactive maps, and youtube videos. This source gives you a lot of options, but it is hard to take advantage of them all your first time around, and the site could definitely be more intuitive and user-friendly. However, I would recommend it to fellow students anyway, since it is a relatively easy way to create a class project that looks much more polished and professional than a powerpoint. Using this source was a risk for me, since I am not very tech-savvy, and I was afraid I would not know how to use it. However, after a bit of exploration I now feel pretty confident using piktochart, and it has bettered my learning by making me more comfortable with technology and giving me another option for school projects.
