Do you wonder what others know that you do not? What they can do that you cannot? Does it seem like you're missing something when it comes to the World Wide Web? Do you wonder how to find all those resources that are supposed to be available for you online? If you answered yes to the above questions, the new Q & A from NCLE, entitled "Finding and Evaluating Adult ESL Resources on the World Wide Web," written by NCLE's MaryAnn Cunningham Florez is something you will want to check out. It's online at http://www.cal.org/ncle/DIGESTS/findingQA.htm This four-page brief examines the functions of various search tools (including search engines and directories and portals, loops, and rings.) It also explains, step-by-step, how to create and excecute search strategies. Finally, it provides questions to help you evaluate the resources your search has yielded. Although the article is written for adult ESL practitioners, the information contained is useful for all educators, especially those who (like me!) can feel their eyes glaze over when someone starts talking about Boolean logic and html markups and dogpile.com and spiders and crawlers. It's also available in print from NCLE at(202)362-0700, ext. 200.
