I used it before in summer school for animal and science research projects. It reads the information aloud to the students and is easy to navigate. The kids loved using it.]]> 2019-03-13 15:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/340915381 lajeunesse_s https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/340992184 This website has an interactive map. When they click on their country, it takes them to an article filled with information. It might be a neat way for a student to pick the country they want to work on for a project, or to get fast facts about multiple countries.]]> 2019-03-13 17:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/340992184 lajeunesse_s https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341002526 This is a gallery of art housed at the museum placed on a timeline. When you click on a piece of art, it gives you a date, information about the piece, and scholarly essays that are related to the art or the time period.]]> 2019-03-13 17:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341002526 lajeunesse_s https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341004138 This resource is great for helping teach students about financial literacy. They offer it at three levels based on the abilities of the students. I have used the Jr. edition with my Lifeskills kids, and the more advanced versions with older kids. They enjoy it, and it exposes them to things they will need to know after graduation.]]> 2019-03-13 17:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341004138 cwickham2 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341049571 World Book Kids would be a great resource for this grade because it keeps them within the a limit of searching and also provides them with a choice of animals they could choose from. When clicking on a specific animal, I thought it was great that it gave detailed information about the animal, a link to an article, related links, photos and videos for their research. It provides the students with a variety of options to work with. ]]> 2019-03-13 19:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341049571 cwickham2 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341359991 The site is split into three sections consisting art in different countries, themes/topics and user friendly section. Reality images are used and history is sectioned off in labeled areas for students to research. This would be 11th grade appropriate for them and has factual information that would be useful for an Art History Project. ]]> 2019-03-14 14:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341359991 cwickham2 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341366484 I truly like using National Geographic myself for my students. I love that it provides many links for students to learn from. I do love that it is kid friendly and a reliable source that will keep the students engaged and provides them with factual information. ]]> 2019-03-14 14:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341366484 cwickham2 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341473225 This resource is great with helping students with all subjects. We could use this right now with ecosystems. There are a variety of topics that can be researched on this site. Currently, we are teaching students on gathering facts for sources online to implement on their work they are doing in class. This is kid friendly for my second graders and does not require a huge amount of experience for them to use. ]]> 2019-03-14 18:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341473225 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341773672 I chose this source because it was easy to navigate. I liked how they included info on elephants from different regions. It also included some interdisciplinary sites to get the kids minds going. It had one article which was a cute little experiment to do at home with your parents about elephants brushing teeth. I think the various possibilities will grab the students attention and keep them learning beyond the requirements for the assignment. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/search-results/?q=elephant]]> 2019-03-15 14:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341773672 laurenthompson294 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/341920576 Jstor 

I would have my students use Jstore. There is a category for the Arts and Art History. There’s are thousands of articles to chose from. And they sort the art by year. This not only makes it easy to choose a topic but this also allows the student to find the perfect trusted source to use. We used this in college for Art History. It’s certainly easy enough for an 11th grader.

There’s a quick facts portion, but it also finds images, news, articles, videos, and even audio. This is an amazing resource for children, as it presents information with little effort.

It seems really great. There are many animals to search from. I searched giraffe and found info immediately ranging from lifespan and habitat to diet. There are also many age appropriate games relating to animals like sound match and build a biome.

They would use the database for MoMA to find a modern artist, report on them through a visual presentation, and then create a work of art inspired by said artist. This database shows articles and ebooks about the most forefront modern artists.

I chose Kids Britannica. I think it's a great opportunity to discuss / introduce encyclopedias. Sadly, and possibly most likely, kids may have never encountered an encyclopedia. I liked kids Britannica. It had plenty of articles, but also listed on the side, images, videos, dictionaries, websites, primary sources, etc; making it resourceful, yet easy to navigate.

I liked this site. I am very new to it but I enjoyed the layout. When searching for impressionism, it first gives me a brief overview few photos. Below it includes 182 related stories. It is easy to zoom through and choose a story that appeals to you. I think this is great to have such a variety at your fingertips. At the bottom is related art movements. If you choose the more option,  it goes further into depth listing specific impressionist artists.

I did a leave replacement for ceramics. One thing I would do if I took over that class is have them use Ceramics monthly as a reference. I would create a weekly homework assignment. The students would have to browse the magazine and write about what ever stuck them as interesting. The topics on the side are easy to navigate as well at the magazine itself. I feel this kind of assignment helps relate what they are learning to the real world. Also, the fact that a new issue comes out every month keeps it current.

These tools include pictures, charts, chunks of text, the option to have text read, as well as organizational tools (saving to google, saving to research, citation, etc.). I think students in sixth grade would appreciate more independence on this project and these tools help to scaffold success. There are topics on the left that students can explore in more depth and websites to further research]]> 2019-03-21 13:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/343787440 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/343795151 Veronica Sherburne - I liked this site, although it is limited to American art. It is dedicated to highlighting primary sources that document the history of the visual arts of America. The slides are filtered and categorized by featured, most popular and recently discovered. it is informative and user friendly. ]]> 2019-03-21 14:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/343795151 https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/343800639 I will be doing a study of the novel Tuesdays with Morrie with a CNA class. As part of the study, we will be exploring and researching the topic of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Students will conduct research and create an infographic of the symptoms, various treatments, etc. This site has ample information about ALS with options to save information and refine searches. When I conducted a quick search I found info about new treatments, affects on speech and awareness. I think it will be a terrific resource. ]]> 2019-03-21 14:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mjones/OnlineResearch/wish/343800639
