Jing, Calgary Public Library, KeepVid

How can you get your students focused on proper research tools for an inquiry project?

E-library databases: library pays for them, you have access through your library card membership

• student research center: teacher resources (incl. ERIC), curriculum Standards for Canada

Jing: screen capturing (including sound)

• tutorial for students that they can access whenever, go at their own pace (pause, rewind)
• good for PD? (I thought of this during the presentation. This could be used to record your teaching and reflect.)
• tutorials on the site

Newspaper Direct Press Display (CPL)

• many languages
• reliable
• can click on specific countries to find their newpapers
• get different perspectives
• RSS feeds
• Interactive Radio: involove your ESL students for translating

The Free Dictionary (see Lucy's blog)

KeepVid

• copy/paste video URL
• similar to Delicious but in video format
• saves onto your computer and doesn't require internet access to play
• can save onto USB
• not affected by school firewalls
