My Virtual
Reference Desk is an incredibly interesting site with many,
many useful links. I've personally checked out Quick

Be sure to checkout the PBS
U.S. Olympic Cyber School site. This exciting, educational web
site has been produced by a collaboration involving Thirteen/WNET
(the NY PBS affiliate), PBS, and IBM. The site uses the recent Nagano
Games and the power of the Internet to teach middle school math,
science, social studies, and history. For example, the new
Olympic sport of snowboarding forms the basis of a series of
interactive lessons on friction and aerodynamics; educational
challenges on ice skating focus on the concepts of geometry and
center of gravity; while a group of downhill skiing learning
activities center on diet, training, and timing. (Thanks to the WNET
School Bulletin for the summary of this site.)

Another PBS site, one of great value
to all educators enables you to assess the quality and value of a
website. It is called "Beyond Searching Smart:
Assessing and Evaluating Web Sites." According to the WNET
School Bulletin, once you collect a group of sites that appear to be
relevant to your teaching goals, you still need to assess the sites
and decide whether they support your curriculum. With so much
information online, how does an educator begin the process of
evaluation? This month's Primer selection features "What's 'Good' on
the Web?" -- a guide to assessing and evaluating Web sites. The
selection walks you through grading the web, two case studies, and
applying evaluation criteria. An evaluation form is included that
helps in determining what sites are "good," have reliable content,
make appropriate use of the technology, and offer something beyond
traditional resources.
