New resources I’m exploring:
http://www.mashpedia.com - Interesting research tool. Not positive how child friendly this source is, but I appreciate how well organized this source pulls resources together.
http://www.smore.com/app/ – I’ve already created two pathfinders and two community newsletters with this source, easy and fantastic visual appeal. Example: http://www.smore.com/u/debbiealvarez
http://www.symbaloo.com – organizing all my research tools and other favorite links with this one for my website
http://www.screenr.com – this is the tool I’m teaching myself how to use next. Making videos on how to use the library system to search efficiently.
