Week 10- Research for the Classroom


Hey everyone! So I tried out a bunch of different resource websites, but Ill say it straight out- nothing beats Google and Wikipedia. 
I find that many of the suggestions were things that Google can find too. 
I particularly liked using the tool in google that brings you results from the last 24 hours/week.
This can be very useful for narrowing your research to current affairs and events only.


Wikipedia Simple English is great. Just last week I wanted to bring a text to a class I was teaching from Wikipedia, and found myself deleting and changing half the words in it, as they were too hard. This is the perfect solution for that situation.
