        <Title>C-SPAN Classroom</Title>
        <Description>Over the past several decades, C-SPAN has brought many hours of fascinating programming to the generally curious. Many teachers have used their programming to edify their students about various aspects of US government, and now C-SPAN has created this very nice site to complement those informal activities. The formal mission of the C-SPAN Classroom site is &quot;to enhance the teaching of Civics &amp; U.S. Government through C-SPAN's primary source programming.&quot; Visitors can start their journey by viewing the &quot;Clip of the Week&quot;, and then looking through the other thematic sections on the site, which include &quot;Principles of Government&quot;, &quot;Legislative Branch&quot;, and &quot;Political Participation&quot;. Along with each clip, users can also view a short clip description, and take advantage of the discussion questions as well. Visitors will need to complete a short free registration form to access all of the clips, and this only takes a few minutes. This site is quite a delight, and for anyone who teaches civics and related fields, it will most likely become an essential online resource.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Smithsonian's History Explorer</Title>
        <Description>The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, along with the Verizon Foundation, has developed a website that offers standards-based online resources for teaching and learning American history.  This lively looking red, white and blue-themed website has an eye-catching feature on the homepage which highlights an item from the Museum's Artifacts.  Visitors should click on the &quot;Learn More&quot; link, which is right below the description of the artifact, which will take the visitor to the full detail of the artifact, as well as any related artifacts. Clicking on the &quot;Museum Artifacts&quot; tab at the top of the page will take the visitor to the search engine for the 65 museum artifacts on the site.  The &quot;Lessons &amp; Activities&quot; tab at the top of the homepage takes the visitor to a list of lessons and activities that can be filtered by Grade Level or Historical Eras/National Standards.  Additionally, the list provides the lesson/activity description, the grade band it's suitable for, as well as the duration of the lesson.  Finally, the &quot;Interactives &amp; Media&quot; tab, located at the top of the homepage, links to a slew of audio, video, and interactive resources that are meant to be used by students on their own, without the aid of a parent or teacher.  &quot;Building a Sod House&quot;, &quot;Artificial Anatomy: Body Parts&quot;, &quot;Children Write to the President&quot;, and &quot;Whatever Happened to Polio?&quot; are just a few of the 36 fascinating interactive lessons.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Finding Our Place in the Cosmos: From Galileo to Sagan and Beyond</Title>
        <Description>What happens up in the sky? Astronomers know, as do physicists, and they love to tell people about it. This collection from the Library of Congress brings together hundreds of items from the papers of the late Carl Sagan. The collection includes three primary sections that present models of the cosmos throughout history, the history of the possibility of life on other worlds, and information about Sagan's life and contributions to science and society. The Life on Other Worlds area is a real delight as it features early science fiction books as well as pop-culture items that include sheet music and movie posters. Within Articles and Essays, there are elegant pieces including, &quot;Astronomical Innovation in the Islamic World&quot; and &quot;Galileo and the Telescope.&quot; All told, there are 331 items in this collection ranging from periodicals to audio recordings to wonderful home movies documenting Sagan's boyhood.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Description>The Audubon field guides have sold over 18 million copies since Alfred A. Knopf published the first illustrated and descriptive books in 1934. This informative website, which features beautiful drawings and photographs as well as extensive descriptions of birds from around North America, is intuitive and pleasing to the eye. Readers can start by typing the name of a bird into the search function, or by sorting the guide by taxonomic family or region. Each record provides detailed information, including facts about Habitat, Migration, and Feeding Behavior. Perhaps best of all, a Songs and Calls section lets readers experience the song of the Acadian Flycatcher or the rhythms of the Acorn Woodpecker.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

After a quick visit here, the Browse tab filters this information by artist, collection, location, materials, work type, placement and year. Those unacquainted with the world of public art would do well to start in several large cities like Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and Miami. The clickable map interface makes it easy and quite enjoyable to look at different cities and regions quickly. Browsing around by year is interesting as well; the works are listed chronologically all the way back to the year 1802.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>EUROPA: Key facts and figures about Europe and the Europeans</Title>
        <Description>Which countries are in the European Union? What goods do countries in the European Union produce? Is Andorra a member of the European Union? These questions (and many more) are all answered in this interactive and lively site created by the European Union (EU). The site is set up to provide access to key facts and figures about Europe and Europeans in general, and visitors can click on one of nine playful graphic icons to learn about topics like quality of life, transport, and economic activity and trade. After looking through some of these fact-filled areas, visitors can also browse around in the &quot;What's New?&quot; area. Here they can read newly added reports and fact sheets that address food safety, biofuels standards, and the EU's efforts to combat gender stereotypes.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Contagion: Historical Views of Disease and Epidemics</Title>
        <Description>With this rather remarkable collection, the dedicated staff members at Harvard University Library's Open Collections Program have brought together Philadelphia's yellow fever epidemic of 1793, London's Great Plague of 1665, and six other notable epidemics from world history. The collection provides general background information on diseases and epidemics worldwide, and as previously suggested, is organized around significant &quot;episodes&quot; of such diseases. Visitors to the collection will find historical pamphlets, serials, books, and manuscripts totaling over 500,000 pages. The &quot;General Materials&quot; area is worth a look as it provides access to brief overviews of important concepts such as germ theory, public health, vaccination, medical geography, and humoral theory. Overall, it's a tremendous set of offerings, and visitors with a penchant for the history of medicine, public health, or diseases will find that this site is well worth many visits. Also, visitors can share resources on the site via Google Bookmarks and Facebook.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Description>How do opera singers sustain those high C's in &quot;La Fille Du R'giment&quot;? Is a birdsong music? These are but a few of the many questions explored, and answered, on this delightful site.  Visitors can consider these and other queries through interactive exhibits, a &quot;questions&quot; section, and movies offered up by the Accidental Scientist Music site, created by staff members at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. To start, visitors should browse through the &quot;Online Exhibits&quot; area. Here they can join an online drum circle, explore the world of step dancing, and even create their own remixes. The &quot;Questions&quot; area provides multimedia answers to queries that include &quot;Why does some music give me goose bumps?&quot; and &quot;Why does sad music sound sad?&quot; Finally, the &quot;Movies&quot; area contains a selection of short films that cover everything from the tuning of musical instruments to the blues.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States</Title>
        <Description>The Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) of the University of Richmond has recently created a digital version of a wonderful historical atlas: Charles O. Paullin and John K. Wright's 1932 Atlas of Historical Geography of the United States. Reproducing nearly 700 maps, this digitization project has enhanced the original collection and added the dramatic functionality of 21st century technology, including an amazing zoom feature. Brave visitors can start directly by Entering the Atlas, while the more cautious can view an introductory video or read over the chapter titles to find specific areas of interest. There is much to peruse, including sections on The Natural Environment and Explorations in the West and Southwest, 1535-1852. A number of maps within these sections, such as &quot;French Explorations in the West 1673-1794,&quot; even allow for time-lapse animation. This site is a great find, especially for educators, historians, geographers, and the general map enthusiast.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>World Food Clock</Title>
        <Description>How much food is being consumed around the world right now? It's a vast question that can be answered by the World Food Clock. This interesting website draws on information provided by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and presents a streaming set of data on global food consumption, global food waste, and other informative topics. It's visually arresting and users can scroll down to look through different &quot;clocks&quot; that track statistics such as the land used to grow wasted food and the stages of food waste, which include production, processing, and consumption. This is a wonderful tool for folks with an interest in food security, environmental studies, public health, and international relations. It could also be used in any number of design courses to illustrate a range of techniques and visualization strategies.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Description>Have you ever wondered about the chemistry of a cheeseburger? Well you are in luck because that is one of the subjects covered on the topical and delightful &quot;Chemistry&quot; section of the popular Science360 website. As it states on the site, &quot;everything you hear, see, taste, smell and touch involves chemistry and chemicals&quot;, and here visitors can watch videos and learn about the molecular structure of water, the science behind glass blowing, and how a curious mud-like mixture is being used to soak up oil spills and insulate homes. Currently, there are about fifteen videos on the site, and visitors can sign up via a host of social media (Twitter, Facebook, and so on), to stay abreast of new additions to the site. Teachers will find that this material can be integrated into the classroom quite easily, and everyone else will just enjoy wandering through these offerings.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

Visitors will find that due to their extensive involvement in helping remedy the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the website's &quot;Highlighted Program&quot; is about NOAA's collection of resources regarding the oil spill, compiled for use in the classroom or as background material.  Visitors can click on &quot;Gulf Oil Spill Resources&quot; to browse the large number of materials, including &quot;Multimedia&quot;, &quot;Lessons &amp; Activities&quot;, &quot;Real World Data&quot; and &quot;Background Information&quot;.  There is a two-minute animation of surface oil on the Gulf from the day the rig caught fire, exploded and sank, to the day the leak was stopped, in &quot;Surface Oil Movement in Gulf Animation&quot; in the &quot;Multimedia&quot; menu.  One of the lessons for students that may be of interest to many is how the oil spill affected the feathers of birds, and the best method to clean them.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Xeno-Canto: Bird Sounds From the Americas</Title>
        <Description>Xeno-Canto is a fabulous website that exemplifies how the Internet can bring together people from around the world who have a common interest. This website offers bird songs, recorded by ornithologists and amateur birders alike, of almost 4500 species from around the world.  The site is divided up into &quot;Americas&quot;, &quot;Asia&quot;, &quot;Africa&quot;, &quot;Europe&quot;, and &quot;Australasia&quot;, and visitors can click on any region they desire, in the far right hand corner of any page. There are many ways to view the information in the site, keeping in mind that the English and Latin are used to identify the birds.  Under Collection, on the menu found on the left side of any page, visitors can click on the link &quot;All Species&quot; to see a list of all the species with recorded songs, for the region they selected.  The number of recordings of each species of bird is listed next to their name. The fun &quot;Mysteries&quot; link, underneath the &quot;Participate&quot; section also found on the left side menu, has bird recordings that the recorder can't identify and has posted for discussion hoping for some insight.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Description>Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are the focus of this fantastic website by NASA.  It's a teaching tool that utilizes video segments to provide flexibility and inspiration for those teaching STEM-related topics to grades K-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Additionally, many of the advanced grade segments are appropriate for introductory college level courses in these areas.  Launchpad is the name given to the lessons for 9-12th graders, and visitors can access it by clicking on the link entitled &quot;Launchpad Grades 9-12&quot; in the menu on the left hand side of the homepage.  A listing of some of the video content for Launchpad is given, which includes &quot;Aeronautics&quot;, &quot;Communications &amp; Launch&quot;, and &quot;Living in Space&quot;.  Visitors can click on the listings to access the videos, as well teacher guides.  For those visitors who are no longer in the classroom, but still want to learn about space via engaging videos can check out &quot;NASA 360 For Public&quot; on the left hand menu on the homepage.  There is a series of a dozen videos to play online or download which address such topics as &quot;NASA in Your Home&quot;, &quot;NASA and Pro Athletes&quot;, and &quot;Exploration and Racing&quot;.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Get the Math</Title>
        <Description>How does math get used in the &quot;real world?&quot; The short answer is that it is used to create hip-hop music, in fashion design, and through a number of other endeavors. This interactive website combines video and web interactive to help young people develop algebraic thinking skills for solving real-world problems. The series is funded by The Moody's Foundation, along with assistance from WNET and American Public Television. The sections of the site include The Challenges, Video, and Teachers.

        <Title>Today in History</Title>
        <Description>Professor Steven Berg of Schoolcraft College has been working with his students to create this well-thought-out and interesting website. The purpose of the site is to focus on &quot;only one event each day which is put in a socio-cultural context.&quot; Each day, the site features a new brief on a notable historical event such as the feast of Saint Pope Mark or the opening of the celebrated Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris. While the quality of the student contributions varies (it is, after all, a blog rather than scholarly writing), the mission of the site makes it inspiring for others looking to enlist students in contextualizing and writing about history. In addition, Berg welcomes contributions from outside parties, so those in college settings may wish to inquire further. It's fun to look through the entries and see what students have profiled so far, and it's a nice way to learn about various intriguing events in human history.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species</Title>
        <Description>The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species conveys information about plant and animal species on its website, and is regarded as &quot;the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species.&quot;  Visitors will find that the website is divided up into the seven categories they use to classify the threat to plants and animals.  The categories are &quot;Extinct,&quot; &quot;Extinct in the Wild,&quot; &quot;Critically Endangered,&quot; &quot;Endangered,&quot; &quot;Vulnerable,&quot; &quot;Near Threatened,&quot; and &quot;Least Concern.&quot; Visitors can click on each category to see an alphabetical list of the species, or to search by other criteria.  The &quot;Photos&quot; section has pictures of threatened species by type from 2000-2011.  Each photo has a brief paragraph about the state of the species next to it. Visitors shouldn't miss the photos of the Red-Crested Tree Rat, Blessed Poison Frog, or the Violet-Spotted Reef Lobster.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

        <Title>Science Museum: Brought to Life</Title>
        <Description>Have you ever wanted to learn exactly how an iron lung works to treat polio?  If so, then the interactive online exhibit found on Science Museum London's Brought to Life website on the iron lung will be exceptionally helpful.  Here visitors will find a 360-degree view of an iron lung complete with sound as well as profiles of iron lung patients. Back on the homepage, visitors will find an excellent discussion about &quot;What it means to be well&quot;, in a link of the same name.  According to the article, &quot;society's medical system, religious beliefs and cultural values&quot; all determine what it means to be well, and the discussion moves on to contrast the written complaints of aches and pains of a naval administrator in the late 1600s to the way we would handle them now.  Visitors also shouldn't miss the &quot;Timeline&quot; here, as it documents key events in medical history, such as when Ibn Al-Nafis discovered the pulmonary circulation system in 1242 CE.[--SAMPLE RECORD--]</Description>

Founded in 2006 by Stanford University's Dan Coleman, the site also contains great lectures by Toni Morrison and Bertrand Russell (among others) and great readings by notables such as T.S. Eliot and Anne Sexton. If readers are looking for art and images, the Met, the Getty, the British Library, and other museums and galleries are featured here.
