Your website evaluations are due by the end of class on May 3.


Here are some of the search engines I mentioned:

Search Engines and Databases

• Try iSeek.com   If you can't access it otherwise, you can get to it through myaccess.com, using your student login from our school. 
• A search engine for students:  http://www.sweetsearch.com/ 
• This has a different format.  You see several results in the form of pages and can move among them using arrows. http://www.redz.com/
• This one is even more unusual: http://search-cube.com/
• You can collect resources at  http://middlespot.com/search.php 
•  Put together search terms with this: http://www.boolify.org/

> Please note that Google is not a website. It is a search engine to find websites. You can not use Google (or other search engines or databases) as a source for your projects.Because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, make sure you carefully check any facts you find there.  Of course, your other sources may also be inaccurate.  That is one of the reasons we use several sources.
