    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.

    The Australian Bureau of Statistics publishers 'Year Book Australia' a useful source of Australian Statistical Information as well as information about the Australian Government. Excellent site to refer to students. If you prefer the print version, Year Book Australia should be available at your local public library.

    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.

    Fantastic short course which will introduce you to some of the advanced search techniques available using Google. Some you will be familiar with, others you may have forgotten and some will be completely new. The course is not currently open but all the course material is still available at this site.

    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.

    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.
  • Connie Greblo on 15 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • Catherine Hainstock on 19 Nov 12
     
    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.

    "Letter from the Mayor to the Earl of Kent, acknowledging his request of 20 Jan. for a force of 50 arbalesters for service against the Castle of Wallingford..." One of the richest repositories of primary sources. Read the proceedings of the Parliament during the Civil War or (depending on your Latin) records from the 13th century or look up the Ordnance maps from 1854.
