While Science Friday started as a show on public radio stations around the country in 1991, it has since expanded into a number of exciting directions, from digital videos to original web content. The Educate section of the Science Friday website is a boon to teachers, as well as learners of all ages. The informative articles, which are updated two or three times a month, have been sorted into subjects that include Chemistry, Earth Science, Engineering and Technology, Life Science, Mathematics, and Physical Science. The content is always fresh and entertaining, and the punchy prose is sure to keep students' attention. Also of note, each Lesson Plan is accompanied by Target Grade levels and Estimated time, as well as an Educator Toolbox (at the bottom of each page), that provides easy access to downloadable material.

Making the Mexican Ministry of Culture's valuable resources available online, Mexicana is a wonderful digital archive tool worth consulting during and beyond this period of increased online engagement. Readers with a particular interest may want to use the search bar in the top panel to explore by topic. For example, a search for "art" reveals nearly 2,000 entries on the site, with options on the left-hand panel to filter by medium or museum, and a more specific search for "painting" reveals a manageable 2 results. Alternatively, the Collection tab welcomes general browsing. Here, readers will find categories including Sound Memory, Visual Memory, and History. Within these broad categories, users will find various audio, video, and text records. Those looking to dive right into the best of the site can check out the Highlights section (under the Collection tab). However users choose to find records of interest, they will find each record is accompanied by a data sheet that highlights key details such as the home institution and collection. Mexicana is viewable in Spanish or English (switch between languages using the button in the top right corner).
