The people who created AskERIC announce a new service and name to
access the resources you've come to depend on for over a decade. While the
U.S. Department of Education will discontinue the AskERIC service December
19th, you will still have access to the resources you've come to depend upon.
Through The Educator's Reference Desk (http://www.eduref.org) you can access
AskERIC's 2,000+ lesson plans, 3,000+ links to online education information,
and 200+ question archive responses. While the question answer service will no
longer be active, The Educator's Reference Desk provides a search interface to
the ERIC Database, providing access to over one million bibliographic records
on educational research, theory, and practice.
Over 1,500 carefully selected and annotated resources will propel you into the
center of telecommunications action in education on the Web. Like an IMC in the real
world, you will find (1) tools for planning, using and managing your own environment, (2)
a solid foundation for supporting standards and assessment practices, (3) classroom
projects, lessons, units, field trips, extended studies, international databases in almost
any subject and across subjects, (4) references and contests for students, (5) multimedia
creation and samples, (6) professional development and publishing opportunities, (7) tips
for school, family and community partnerships with public groups and private industry, and
(8) space to conference with colleagues.
