    This is a really handy website which I use both personally and professionally. I am really keen on the idea of using fiction to help teach history. I think reading historical fiction helps bring history 'alive' and stimulates an interest in finding out more. Even if the book is not 100% correct it doesn't matter as discovering this is part of the learning process and encourages critical thinking.

    Hi Merryn, It looks like the last letter of the url (web address) is missing on the link. Are you able to hop back into Diigo and fix it up? I'm think many people will find this site of great use especially as the implementation date of the Nat'l Curriculum creeps closer. Drop us an email when you've made the edit, thanks!

    Oops! Sorry about the typo in the url - should have been www.asiaeducation.edu.au

    Merryn, if you go to your My Library page, you should see this bookmark. Click edit and then you should be able to fix up the typo in the URL. Thanks!

    I go to My Library but do NOT see bookmark???
  • Catherine Hainstock on 27 Nov 12
     
    Hi Merryn, Not sure what's happening at your end, I can see your bookmark fine. In situations like yours, I try refresh then jump out of the site and browser then back in just to see if it clears things. Hope that helps.

    Hi Tilly Billy, can you just drop me a message either here or in Lore telling me who you are so I can mark off your Diigo assignment as submitted? Thanks. Great link too!

    The Study Vibe site is designed for students to encourage then to develop skills in many facets of study and research. It is the brainchild of Leonie McIvenny, a Western Australian teacher librarian.

    Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

    Loved that showing this to my students meant I could show them that their small town of Kyabram is mentioned in National Library sources.

    Thanks for sharing this one, Amanda! It would be a lot more appealing to students than some other methods of presentation!
  • simpkj31 on 17 Nov 12
     
    Thanks Amanda. I like the interactive nature of the site. It is very smooth and informative. I think Uni students would have the stamina to go through the options offered but I wonder about high school students' ability to stay with it.

    Jeff Utecht's blog entry about a novel way to teach students search skills. Give students and start and end point. Eg. 3rd Grade - give students: Rocks and Volcanoes. Start with Rocks and create a search story that gets them to end the search story with how Rocks and Volcanoes are related.
