In the search to find a web 2.0 tools that will assist students in career research, I found www.findingdulcinea.com. This is a online librarian. The research tools in this website are fantastic, easy to use. It is great to add to your RSS feed as well. It gives a review of this day, an index to support any search that you or a student will be looking for. The search result is given in a cyber encyclopedia format which will give alternate options of connections. Truly a must see for educators of all subjects!
A great feature is "On this Day" For the date of the year it gives several choices of history that a teacher can use in the class room. There is a challenge that teachers and students can use Web research skills to research an event.
A another feature is the Guide to Web Research. This answers many of the questions that teachers and students have about searching the web. It offers references on site credibility, what search engines to use and social bookmarking tools.
This site offers readers to view blogs written by the staff at finding Dulcinea. The opportunity to review past post as well.
Overall I found the finding Dulcinea website a useful web tool that I plan to share with my young teachers that I work with. This website offers classroom teachers a secure place to take students to research material.
The site is linked to Sweet Search; a search engine for students. It is guided and safer than using google. I will discuss this site in more detail for the next assignment.
