just some notes for class....

Pandea
--> Memo for myself: check out later!!
interesting site for facts and basics for searching (AND/OR/AND OR/NOT etc)

"Elvis Presley"

Searching the "DEEP WEB" VS "Walled garden"



<USEFUL SEARCH ENGINES>

http://www.academicindex.net/
--> really good--brings forward academic sites!

http://www.hakia.com/web?q=ict+education+child
--> apparently only includes results that are recommended by librarians. pretty good.

Yovisto
http://www.yovisto.com/search.jsp
--> search for educational videos (GOOD:D)

* http://www.youtube.com/education?category=University
--> youtube educational version


<Summary>

the most important finding for today was that I could expand my searches beyond words but to visuals and videos. (and videos tend to be more interesting and less boring than pdf files of reports!)

I found some sites that I could definitely use when writing papers... for example, youtube university *recommended by Rab!) and Yovisto (it was listed the online-college-blog page). I've been using TED and iTunes U for a while now, but these two sites will definitely be colisted with my useful references bookmarks.


Thank you!
