Power Searching Within Google

This is a PowerPoint presentation that I use with kids in Middle Years but thought it might be useful to everyone. If you follow some of the tips given it will help you narrow down searches within Google. Give it a try....it certainly makes my life easier when I'm trying to find something on the net!

More Interactive Math Resources

This is a great site if you're looking for interactive math resources: Johnnie's Math Page

This site is a neatly organized, kid friendly directory of interactive math sites. It goes well with the Virtual Manipulatives Website Carol emailed out a few days ago.

It was selected by Kathy Schrock as the site of the week at https://pembinatrails.ca/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/sos.html

Blinkx

Have you ever looked for a short video clip to show your students on any given topic? You may want to take a look at Blinkx. It is a search engine for videos. Rather than text it uses speech recognition technology to search content in the video itself. Keep in mind that Blinkx only searches words/speech - it does not search or recognize graphics. It's a good idea to preview first.
