For the next several weeks I will focus my energies on research, whether for a term paper on global warming or a teacher's lesson on Shakespeare. Learning to navigate on the web is essential to successful research; knowing valuable URLs will maximize your use of the Internet.
Today, I'm going to touch on a web site that I had thought disappeared from existence. Fortunately, I accidentally bumped into it once again.
RESEARCH - IT
http://itools.com/research-it/research-i... This wonderful source gives the English student/teacher needed information all in one place. From dictionaries to financial tools, this site is a research must.
DICTIONARIES Some of Research-It's features include several dictionaries from a simple English dictionary to a rhyming dictionary (perfect for poetry assignments-remember trying to write sonnets?) Other dictionaries include computing, pronunciation, and law. The availability of an online Thesaurus will cut down on word repetition and help boost vocabulary. Also, an online translator will help determine the meaning of "Et Tu, Brute?" as well as tell you how to say Merry Christmas in several different languages. Type in a word and get its equivalent. The Acronym dictionary will be perfect in those instances when students can't figure out what NRA and MADD stand for.
LIBRARY TOOLS
The biographical section will help you investigate the background of historical figures and find quotes (just perfect for an original oratory or term paper).
