Activate Instruction - 15 views

  •  
    At its most basic level, Activate Instruction is a free open database of standards-aligned learning resources-but it was designed to be much more. Teachers can browse, search, rate, add, share, and organize resources. Parents and students can follow teachers to see what they posted or search for the resources they like best. When integrated with student assessment data systems, Activate makes it easy for teachers to use student assessment data to connect students with the resources that match their specific needs.

City Brights: Howard Rheingold : Crap Detection 101 - 3 views

  •  
    "The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge - the search engine. Materializing answers from the air turns out to be the easy part - the part a machine can do. The real difficulty kicks in when you click down into your search results. At that point, it's up to you to sort the accurate bits from the misinfo, disinfo, spam, scams, urban legends, and hoaxes. "Crap detection," as Hemingway called it half a century ago, is more important than ever before, now that the automation of crapcasting has generated its own word: "spamming.""

  • earch engines, index less than 1% of the Web
  • information in the deep Web is of higher quality, that is, less “noise” and more focused. If you are searching for information using only surface Web search engines, you are missing 99% of the content of the Web. Moreover, 95% of the deep Web is free publicly accessible information
  • The deep Web is not a substitute for surface search engines, but a complement to a complete search approach.
