Mes découvertes cette semaine :
- deux concours ouverts aux participants extérieurs aux US : le Space Settlement Contest de la NASA et ThinkQuest*** qui vous envoie gratuitement un CD-Rom.
- des activités transdiciplinaires pour le collège : origamis et pliages en anglais.
- et pour l'exotisme: un site de webcam, un autre sur les uniformes, et un qui vous explique comment vous débarrasser des piverts qui tapent sur votre façade**!!!
    Je serais absente pour un séminaire Tandem la semaine prochaine, mais je vous prépare une page sur Y2K dont je vous enverrai l'adresse dès que je l'aurai tranférée.
Bonne lecture!

"That's really where the idea came from," said Pete Molino, co-founder.

educators to become active participants in this online community by sending
in comments and suggestions.

Classroom.tripod.com, a new online service from Tripod, is providing free
homepage-building templates and tools to teachers and their junior-high and

of basic, intermediate, and advanced Web page builders. Students with
little or no previous Web experience may now make the Internet a part of
their educational experience. With Tripod's online service, they can
develop dynamic book reports or personal journals, work on group projects.
Using classroom.tripod.com, teachers can create courses and lesson plans,
as well as share class goals, assignments, and information with both
students and their parents. One of the goals of the Teacher interface is to
increase parents' involvement in their children's educations by enabling
educators and parents to directly communicate online, either publicly or
privately. A demo of Tripod's educational Web-site building tools is
available on their Web site.

Get a Grip on Robotics (TOP> [students] HomeworkCentral.com's September 7th)
-----------------------------
Real robots are a lot different from fantastic, intelligent, and/or
dangerous artificial movie versions. This handsome, animated primer
explains:
"Robots of today are not exactly the walking, talking intelligent
machines of of movies, stories and our dreams. Today, we find most
robots working for people in factories, warehouses, and laboratories. In
the future, robots may show up in other places: our schools, our homes,
even our bodies."
The center of the primer is a robotic arm, whose components are
described and illustrated, one-by-one in many sections using a 3D
animated an interactive model. Other sections include Robot Basics and a
Glossary.

Bartleby Verse: American and English Poetry, 1250-1920 (The Scout Report
September 3)
-----------------------------
The New Bartleby Library has added the texts of five additional
poetry anthologies covering American and English poetry, 1250-1920,
to its Verse page, which previously hosted _The Oxford Book of
English Verse_ (see the August 23, 1996 Scout Report). The new
additions include the _Yale Book of American Verse_ (1912), _Modern
British Poetry_ (1920), Modern American Poetry (1919), _Metaphysical
Lyrics and Poems of the 17th Century_ (1921), and the _Golden
Treasury_ (1875). All six anthologies are searchable by keyword or
browsable by author (chronological or alphabetical), title, or first
line. The anthologies are, of course, highly selective and reflect
the period in which they were originally published, representing the
canon as it stood in the first quarter of this century. [MD]

[From the website] There are over 24,000 species that are endangered or

disappear forever. Without them, Earth's ecosystem may very well crumble.
By endangering wildlife, we are endangering ourselves. This site explains
the current situation of endangered species worldwide; highlights the
causes of extinction; what you can do to help endangered species; detailed
information on individual species; and much more.
