If you are a teacher, you know that the reinventing never ends. Ken offers URLs for starting the new school year and hopes that these Konnections will not only help you begin your new school year on the right foot but also has useful advice that's applicable any time of the year. Some the most useful sites are in this Konnection - like everything from library resources to humanities sites. Some are specific like Inventors Hall of Fame and some are more general like Ask Jeeves. Favorites include How Stuff Works, Needle in a Cyberstack, The World Lecture Hall, and TrackStar to name a few.
Research using the Internet can be difficult, with many searches taking on a life of their own.
These sites will narrow searches and still keep the thrill in the hunt for knowledge. If you enjoy experimenting with voice, chat, video, animations, and more, you may find something interesting here. I suggest that everyone check Yahoo's Messenger, PhoneFree, and Gif Construction Set or Gif Builder, even if you're not the experimenting kind. And don t miss the lessons at ZDTV's site. Your students will love 16 Color, too.
