Unigo- College Search - 0 views

  •  
    Unigo is another great college research source. I particularly like this sight because its focus is on the opinions of students attending the college, with less insight from the college itself. The information I found on Unigo was honest, with both good and bad responses about my college. It was a great way to look at my "dream schools" from a different point of view through comments, photos, and videos. Unigo has a really great, straightforward college search that narrowed down my top colleges. Also, Unigo had great tips on college essay writing, and filling out applications.

Cappex- College Research - 0 views

  •  
    Again, another great tool for college research. This site is very organized. Though it shares a lot of the same qualities as other college research sources (finding a college, scholarship chances, admission chances, etc.) my favorite part of it is how organized the student reviews are. Through Cappex, you can choose one of your favorite colleges, and see one students review of the school in entirety, then scroll down and see the next students review of the school. It is organized in a way that you can see clearly multiple students opinions about the same area of the college. Cappex is easy to navigate, and another strong source to use for college research.

How the Ukraine crisis ends - 1 views

  •  
    This article is about the possible out comes that can happen when the crisis starts to come to a close. It also gives a great political history of Russia and the Ukraine.
  •  
    I am glad you put this article on Diigo Clayton! Kissenger does a nice job of reminding people to have historical knowledge before reacting; Russian history and psychology of Ukraine can not be ignored. I was intrigued by his comment that villanizing Putin is a response to not having a clear policy. HK starts his essay well with the reference to how easy war begins and how challenging and daunting it is to end. Words of wisdom...

College Prowler- College Research - 0 views

  •  
    This site allows you to look at reviews of colleges written by alumnis or attending students. This gives you a different perspective of that college. It also allows you to know things that college tours simply don't tell you. They also have scholarship opportunities that you can apply for. On top of that, you can see rankings of schools and research further into each school you are interested in. I have found this website very helpful in my college search, and I have even applied to a few scholarships on this site.

    College Prowler is a site that rates colleges and universities so that people who are going through the college process can navigate towards a better school. If you can't decide between two schools and you don't have the time to visit again, you can use this site to help make your decision!

    College Prowler is the website to use! Its a quick, easy, and free sign up process to gain access to all the website has to offer. Once you have an account, you can search any college you want and it will bring you to an information page. The college pages consist of student reviews, which in my opinion, are the most reliable source! You can look through individual tabs such as summary, about the school, about the students, about the campus and about the location. Under each of these tabs are an abundance of information and reviews that help you fully understand the college. The best tool on College Prowler is the Applicant Status. With this tool you can plug in your GPA and SAT/ACT scores, and it will place you among statistics showing people admitted, denied, wait listed, and attending. It is a great way to see where you stand in terms of college admittance!

    This article basically backs up what Obama's decision to not strike by elaborating on the fallback that would occur had we followed through with an attack.

Facebook- College Research - 0 views

  •  
    I know this seems like an anti productive sight to be using for college planning and research, but for me (and potentially you!) Facebook is a great source! Facebook provides an easy way to communicate with people about college. Personally, I talked with students attending the colleges I was researching, and had the ability to easily plan visits with them on campus! I used the site to follow my friends college experience through their Facebook profiles, pictures, and chats. Facebook is a source to take advantage of in a positive way to research and choose colleges.

Susan B. Anthony History - 0 views

  •  
    This website describes Susan B. Anthony's lifestyle in six different sections: abolitionist, educational reformer, labor activist, temperance worker, suffragist and women rights campaigner. As Susan B. Anthony grew older her interests changed. The goal of this site was to focus on the main points in her life, give an overview for each of them and show how she made the decision that helping women achieve the right to vote was a greater problem than establishing stronger liquor laws. This was the most useful resource that I used in my essay on Susan B. Anthony and how she impacted American History; I specifically needed information about her life from when she was a young adult (20's) to her death. The Susan B. Anthony House does not include very much about her childhood, which was fine for my purposes. The information is reliable because the Susan B. Anthony House isn't a bias source; it is all facts and doesn't have include any opinions about her life. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone who wants to learn about Susan B. Anthony's adult life. The organization of the site was wonderful and the material was easy to understand. I was able to find information about Susan B. Anthony's rebellion, campaigns and petitions. I used this source to support the idea that Anthony effect America's History. When learning about Susan B. Anthony I realized that throughout the world equality still hasn't been fully achieved; in some places women are still paid less than men.

That sounds like a pretty cool website. Are colleges outside of the U.S. represented too or is it just U.S. Colleges?

Forbes-College List - 0 views

  •  
    This website makes the top 10, 50, or 100 best colleges for specific things. For example, if you wanted to look up the best 50 lib real arts colleges, Forbes will give you a list to look at. It is important not to trust these lists completely, since everyone has their own opinion about what makes a school the 'best." But these schools are a good starting point in the research process.

Purdue OWL: MLA Formatting and Style Guide - 0 views

  •  
    This website is a writing lab, and can answer almost any question you have about grammar and citing your sources. It is not an automatic bibliography-maker, but it provides examples and steps for how to make your own. I think this is a very helpful source. I know it is reliable because it is through a college, and it was recommended to me through a teacher. I recommend this source more strongly than easybib because by doing the work yourself you will remember how to do it in the future, and the action of writing your bibliography cements why giving sources credit is important. I find this source to be helpful all through the writing process, as I cite in-text sources, struggle with grammar, and make a works cited page at the end. It has helped me feel more confident and independent while proofreading because I get a second opinion without asking the teacher.
  •  
    This site is a very reliable and thorough source that explains everything you need to know about MLA formatting.

Blender Cookie | Great Blender tutorials and training - 0 views

  •  
    Blender Cookie is a tutorial/infomation site that helps new users of Blender. Blender is a 3D modeling program that is free to all users but is open to donations. People use blender to make cool 3D pictures and to make a 3D animation. Blender Cookie helps with understanding the basics of blender. Although Blender Cookie is informal it is really slow pace and I would not recommend it for use others may have other opinions.
