A primary school teacher sharing resources, practical ideas and thoughts on blogging, global collaboration and technology integration. educators can subscribe to newsletter that has step by step instructions on how to use web tools.

The first time I shared this I did so by sharing with PLN group rather than resaerch toolkit.. To share again I needed to go to edit, tick share to group, choose research toolkit from drop down menu and then go to save.

This YouTube channel has an abundant choice of resources for the VCE student. It was established by a young man who felt there was a need to provide current and relevant information about research skills, study techniques, a guide to write the perfect English essay and especially how to fine tune a search using Google. Each topic is delivered in easy speak and lasts for less than four minutes. I would highly recommend this site for students who are looking for quick sound bytes on surviving VCE.

AASL : Best websites for teaching and learning

There are some great resources on Livebinders. Thanks for posting this link, Glenys. I've marked the Assignment as complete for you.

I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool.  haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information. 

I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.

Thanks for sharing this link, Lisa. I've marked you Assignment 2 as complete in Lore.

An great article for Teacher Librarians concerning curation from one of the most prolific curators of information who just seems to share everything with the library community

A useful site that can be used as a starting point to understand other religions and their viewpoint on ethical issues.  I often use it as a reference when teaching both junior and senior RE.
