    Gooru is a new service (still carrying the Alpha label) that aims to provide teachers and students with an extensive collection of videos, interactive displays, documents, diagrams, and quizzes for learning about topics in math and science.

    A great Search Engine site, but with more features such as a Library of resource organised by subject area. Unfortunately very U.S. based, but for some subjects that wouldn't matter.

    The science dept at school has just started experimenting with creating units on gooru - so far they are impressed! Thanks for sharing the link. I've marked this assignment as complete on Lore for you.

    The research guides at the State Library (Vic) are great and cover many subjects but I have found this guide particularly useful with secondary students. It focuses on Australian soldiers who served in WWI. Topics: soldiers, battles, medals, personal stories and more.
