Tales of Wonder (The Scout Report -- October 1)
--------------------------------
Folk and Fairy Tales from Around the World
Richard Darsie of UC Davis has put together this wonderful site which
brings users a full-text collection of folk and fairy tales. The
stories are organized by their place of origin: Africa, Central Asia,
Central Europe, China, England, India, Ireland, Japan, Middle East,
Native America, Russia, Scandinavia, Scotland, and Siberia. Although
most of the text is on-site, occasionally Darsie links users to other
sites to access a particular collection of materials. Stories that
are part of published collections are always noted as being so, which
gives users the opportunity to seek out and use the print versions if
they so desire. A nice collection of links to other folk and fairy tale sites is also included. [REB]

Primary Source Network (Blue Web'n Update 10/2/99)
--------------------------------
One of the ways to make learning real and engaging to students is to
immerse them in learning that is real. The Primary Source Network
is the place I go if I want to develop activities that engage the students
by giving them real information the sift through, analyze, manipulate and
use to construct new knowledge.
There are links to a great number of primary resource sites, tips on how to
use primary resources in class, and six units that use primary sources in
activities that revolve around the workplace environment.

Food Safety Music (The Scout Report -- October 1)
--------------------------------
Carl Winter, a golden-throated Extension Food Toxicologist at the
University of California, Davis, has written and recorded two albums
of parodies of popular songs "with a food safety/ science twist."
Lucky for us, Winter has made a number of these tunes and their
lyrics available at this site. The songs are organized by food
science topic (Food Safety, Pesticides, Biotech, Toxicology, etc.),
and listed with file size, the song that inspired it, and a link to
the lyrics. Highlights include "I Sprayed It on the Grapevine," "We
are the Microbes/ They Might Kill You," "Food Busters," and "Food Irradiation." [MD]
--> http://foodsafe.ucdavis.edu/music.html
[ Chansons et paroles, utilisables dès la 6ème, si les paroles vous conviennent. Ce sont des classiques dont les paroles ont été changées. une curiosité amusante à écouter et lire!

AFS INTERCULTURAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS (S.O.S. ~ Help for Busy
Teachers 9/30/99)
--------------------------------
This non-profit, non-governmental organization seeks to open
up cultural horizons to youth through an inter-cultural exchange
program. The AFS organization started during WWII as the
American Field Service; an unarmed group of American volunteers
forming a front-line ambulance corps service in France. Since
then, the group expanded exponentially, and continue by their
exchange program for youth to provide an opportunity for global
friendship--and a better understanding of each other's cultures.
You may want to share this site with interested students and their families.

On The Prairie (The Scout Report -- October 1)
--------------------------------
On The Prairie is brought to the Web by Bell LIVE!, a superb, online
science learning center that emphasizes Minnesota's resources and
research. Six sections form the core of the On The Prairie resource:
LIVE! from the Prairie (see below), Build a Prairie (a learning game
that emphasizes the functional role of species), Field Guide to the
Prairie (complete with scientific names, photographs, life history
information, and a glossary), Experience the Prairie, Curriculum
Goodies, and Researching the Prairie. In each section, users will
find background information on the ecology and natural history of
prairie organisms, tips on prairie plant and animal identification
(and ecological function), and learning games (Build a Prairie),
among other resources. A special feature of the site is the upcoming
electronic prairie field trip, involving "live satellite broadcasts
driven by a curriculum and Internet activities," to be broadcast live
-- from the prairie -- on October 13, 1999. For anyone interested in
learning more about prairies, this is an outstanding site. [LXP]

[ dès la 3ème. voir surtout le jeu interactif 'build a prairie' très bien
illustré. Il permet de prendre conscience des espèces nécessaires au

Search Engine Watch (Blue Web'n Update 10/2/99)
--------------------------------
Once a person is comfortable with finding information in a search engine
of their choosing, they may want to really become an expert on search
engines. Search Engine Watch is a site that was originally created for web
masters who wanted to learn how to get their sites well indexed. It
quickly became a popular site for many regular users and now has a wide
audience. If you want to find out
anything about search engines, this is the place to start your searching.

Innovative Transportation Technologies (The Scout Report for Science &
Engineering -- September 29)
--------------------------------
Of interest to urban planners, environmentalists, transportation
planners, engineers, and others from a variety of disciplines, this
University of Washington site provides information on unconventional
transportation technologies with an eye to replace cars and trucks
with environmentally sound mass transit and freight options. Special
attention is therefore paid to non-auto technologies. A few of the
innovative transportation designs included here are supported
vehicles like the Cabintaxi and suspended vehicles like the Sky
Train. While some of the descriptions of these unusual vehicles are
on-site, there are also many hyperlinks leading users to external
sites containing new and fascinating technology. [KR]
