There is a lot of great educational sites on the internet and also a lot of bad sites. DEECD have created this search engine database with DEECD approved content. Basically there is no irrelevant content and plenty of rich content. [] [] [] []

This document contains links to a wide variety of resources that can be used with:
 * Interactive Whiteboards
 * Projectors
 * Stand-alone computers that are not connected to projectors of any type.

Suggested Websites
[] - Paste in a selection of text, follow the prompts and the website creates a word collage of the most common words in that selection. [] - Think of a dictionary and thesaurus with too much red cordial. Then imagine this website organising all of the words like a semantic network. Hard to explain, easy to get lost in the fun. [] - A beta type of a 'clever' search engine that scours all the avenues of the internet to get you information in its most simplest form. Still in its testing stages so not everything will return a result. [] - Front pages of newspapers all around the world. Very visual. Very awesome. [] - Time line of current news events. [] - Make your own surveys. [] - Create an account and organise your homework visually. [] - This website has a gallery of interesting and describing words to match. You select your picture and drag words related to the picture over the top of it. Good for Writer's Notebook.
