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.

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.

General Brain Summery - 0 views

  •  
    This site helped me get the basic understanding of the brain, before I got into more specific study. It covers a wide variety of topics, including general descriptions of the cortex and inner brain. The different parts of the brain are labeled, and neurotransmitters are briefly explained to give the reader a general sense of the brain. The article helped me on the right track when researching the inner brain and its structures, as it summarized the basal ganglia and limbic systems. It explains that the basal ganglia is responsible for conscious movements, and the limbic system controls memory and emotion. This site is reliable because it is a government site that takes data straight from Health and Human Services, which is well known for its great research. This site was used when I made my brain portfolio, which is the compilation of research I have done in an organized document.

NEWTON: Ask a Scientist - 0 views

  •  
    This site allows you to look at hundreds of questions written by other people. There are many categories of questions, everything from Biology, to Mathematics, to computers, to Physics. Each question is answered by an expert in that field, and you can create your own questions if you are curious about something. Each question can have many replies, so you can see all sides to the answer, and it gives you a deeper understanding of the topic. I find this a useful source because it gives you interesting information by showing you popular questions. I find this site reliable because it is a government site with college professors responding, and because the information they give is consistent with what I get if I research outside of the site. I would recommend this to anyone doing scientific research for school, or to anyone interested in science in general.

Colombia - 0 views

  •  
    This site was helpful to me when I started my research paper. This site has lots of information about Colombia. It talks about where Colombia is located, what their government is like, etc. This site was helpful to me to start off my research paper with some basic facts about Colombia.

Climate Change in Italy - 0 views

  •  
    I used this website recently when working on a climate change project for Italy. Most of my time spent researching was at this site because it is very organized and has so much information. There are twenty subtopics that range from what is climate change to the impacts of climate change in Italy. The purpose of this website, even though it is called Climate Change in Italy is to speak to people throughout the world and inform them on the consequences of too much CO2. This site was very useful for me because there was a lot of information in each of the categories. The only drawback with this website is that it goes really in-depth, so if you want to know a specific thing about Italy Climate Change then you may want to choose a new source. The information is definitely reliable seeing as I have compared it to other sources and I would recommend this site to people who want to know about climate change in Italy or Europe in general. I used this source for a project and it was very useful, so I would suggest people who want to use it as well to use it specifically for research. This website helped me look at climate change on a smaller scale: Italy (it really zoned in on the specific climates in Italy).

Aromatherapy - 0 views

  •  
    I was introduced to this website when I began my Human Development final project on aromatherapy. This site is the best one that I have come across throughout all of my research; it is very organized and there is just so much information. The main headers are aromatherapy articles, aromatherapy recipes, carrier oil profiles, essential oil profiles, hydrosol profiles and aromatherapy books. The purpose of this article is to give you information about what essential oils are and how to use them. I think that this is an amazing source; it starts at the very basics and becomes more complex as you continue. Not only does it tell you about a bunch of oils and their health benefits but it shows you how to make your own aromatherapy recipes. The aromatherapy web is definitely accurate because there are a bunch of people who work on it and I'm sure that they would correct each other if anyone made a mistake. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to research aromatherapy or who wants to try it. Because this website was so organized it was easy for me to answer my questions. This site helped me to expand my knowledge on aromatherapy and think about all the natural ways of healing.

Huffington Post - 0 views

  •  
    This is another news website for both current and old news that is happening globally. It has been helpful when doing research for multiple classes over this semester. It has information on most all of the latest news, and it is really good information. Most all the information that students need for research can be found on this site.
  •  
    The Huffington Post is a great website to catch up on all the current events that are happening around the world. I have also found this website very helpful for current event assignments in Global Studies this semester; you can search news on any topic or any country.

TED Talk- The Danger of a Single Story - 0 views

  •  
    This TED Talk really inspired me throughout my school research in history, french, and science. The idea of a "single story" that I learned about through this talk, forced me to search for different perspectives and different sources throughout my research in all of my classes.

Brain (Human Anatomy): Picture, Function, Parts, Conditions, and More - 0 views

  •  
    This website gives a lot of information in an overview format of the brain and the nervous system, brain tests, and treatments. Also listed are a few brain conditions (ie. headaches, aneurysms, etc). At the bottom of the website are many other similar resources for further research. This is a reliable and useful source because upon checking the sources I found that the information is written by doctors. This source was very helpful in terms of hindering a basic understanding of the brain. The diagram is helpful in visualizing the different parts of the brain.

Vermont Public Radio "Does Your Dog Really Like You?" - 0 views

  •  
    This VPR radio program visits the topic of emotion in animals. Virginia Morell is an animal researcher and author of the book "Animal Wise: The Thoughts and Emotions of Our Fellow Creatures." Morell studies the emotions of different animals and their means for communicating those emotions. The large topic of interest in this short VPR news special is about whether humans have a special connection with dogs. Morell's answer is yes, dogs and humans have a similar way of communicating with facial cues and body language which makes our two species somewhat appealing to one another. This helps my research a lot in that it brings out not only the similarities between K-9s and humans but also the mysterious draw of one animal to the other. Since the domesticated dog is so closely related to the wolf, it is true that wolves have similar body language, facial expression and social behavior tendencies. Morell speaks about her topic of expertise with great ease and it is fun to listen to because she is so smart.

Fact Monster - 0 views

  •  
    This site was especially helpful for me to research information that I needed for a presentation I was doing in Global Studies. I found that Fact Monster was a very reliable source, with a lot information. The information was as useful as facts about countries, to formulas and strategies for math. It is a very simple, helpful site that is easy to navigate.

    Stephen Briggs went to harvard business school? maybe thats why the BASCO company was so successful. find out on the harvard website
  •  
    I think it would definately give him a national or even international perspective. This research would incorporate well into your paper.
