E Block class discussion

Today E block had their discussion (see post below).

Assignment #4 is due on Monday...yes all of it!

4. Multimedia Resource List: A resource list is a way to organize your research.

Your list must include each of the following (1 point for each source).

    1. Ten Websites. The following websites are UNACCEPTABLE: anything with a url attached to wikipedia, ask.com, about.com, askjeeves.com etc. NOTE: if you type in “global warming” 80,800,000 results are available. Look through some of them: the best are not always the first results. Give the title of the website and the url.

EXAMPLE: Global Warming in NH: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/global-warming-in-new-hampshire.html

    1. AT LEAST Three Videos / Documentaries. One short video clip (less than 5 minutes), one medium clip (5-20 minutes) and one long video (greater than 20 minutes).

You can look for videos at www.youtube.com , http://video.google.com/ , the school library catalogue (Athena) and through Gordon Nash Library (you know….the building across the street). Catalogue is online at: http://www.nhu-pac.library.state.nh.us/#focus . In the search box select “broad keyword.” To narrow your search, include the word “video.” For example you may search “Human Genome video.”

As you find your resources, you will need to complete a summary table.
