Shakespeare Searched : http://shakespeare.clusty.com/ designed to provide quick access to the works of the Bard. It's not designed as a replacement for, or access to the full text of his work, but as a quick reference resource. The concept is that it can be used to identify who made a specific speech, which work contains which quotes or even individual words, and also helps draw out specific themes in individual works or across the entire corpus. (Clusty doesn't provide analysis or commentary, just direct access to the text via Vivisimo ). Complements Explore Shakespeare with Google , Library of the Internet Shakespeare Editions , (complete works available at MIT ), Oxford Shakespeare , and The Collected Works of Shakespeare Via http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/060912-093721

Nonlinguistic representations : http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/Wignall/onlinelearning/OnlineStrategies.html This may seem an awfully fancy term for “pictures” but activities that require students to create images, maps, diagrams, knowledge maps, and flow charts help learners organize concepts and ideas in personal, individual ways. This type of activity increases later recall and helps them apply what they have learned. Research has shown that using representational activities leads to an increase in understanding ... An excellent example of a concept map can be found here.
