Secret Google Tips for Researchers

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced a series of four videos giving tips on using google for research purposes.

The videos are about 10min long, very easy to follow and do provide some useful basic google search tips, despite being produced over 4 years ago! Also, there does not seem to be a fifth video even though it is billed as a 5 part series!!

Thanks to A.A. Karim for highlighting the series.

50 Resources for Administration Students

Online Schools have recently compiled a very useful list of their recommended 50 Resources for Students Attending Online Education Administration Schools.

The list is divided into seven categories:
* Principals and Ed Leadership
* Technology
* Teachers
* Classroom Management
* Librarians
* Education Policy
* Resources

The Online Schools list is aimed at those taking a degree in education administration and who will be future leaders in the field of education. But, even if you are not specializing in administration, it is well worth checking out the various bloggers.

I was delighted and honored to find that my companion blog Free Resources for Education has in fact been included in the 'Resources' section. Many thanks Shawn!

RSA - 21st Century Enlightenment

This video animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson. Brilliant, both the message and the animation!! It's kind of addictive :)

If you like it, then, you can choose from over 300 other videos at the RSA Youtube channel. So what exactly is the RSA.

Well, for over "250 years the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has been a cradle of enlightenment thinking and a force for social progress".

The RSA encourage "public discourse and critical debate by providing platforms for leading experts to share new ideas on contemporary issues".
