Resource Management

Finding resources

Better Web Searching: http://www.deborahhealey.com/techtips/june2009.html
Some basic but essential guidelines for creating better searches.

NoodleTools: Choose the Best Search for your Information Needs: http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/literacies/information/5locate/adviceengine.html
Google may not be the best choice for all searches. You can use the related NoodleQuest at http://www.noodletools.com/noodlequest/ to help as well.

Twurdy ("Too Wordy"): http://www.twurdy.com/search.php
This search engine reports readability, so you can choose how difficult a text to use with your students.

Managing resources

Social Bookmarking - using Delicious to track and organize web links: http://www.deborahhealey.com/techtips/sept2009.html

Organizing material in Word and PowerPoint with hyperlinks

Saving files

Saving files in Internet Explorer and Firefox - different options and what they mean

Changing files in Word

Saving YouTube files: http://keepvid.com/ (can save as mp4), http://www.savevideodownload.com/ , http://www.downloader9.com/
It takes quite some time to download, no matter what you use.
