Re: Websites on the Future

["MARR, GINNY" <gmarr@TABORACADEMY.ORG>]

It takes time but I'd do a GOOGLE search on each topic with future as an
added search term and then pick 3-5 sites that have the most substance and
authority. I've done that process for class projects - click on the
WebCompass link below to see examples.  Interestingly, the students often
see for themselves that the web info listed does not fill the bill - they
then choose to use books and our online databases for more relevant results.
Good luck!

Subject: Websites on the Future

One of our teachers is doing a unit on the future in following areas:
endangered species, medical advances, communication, music, technology,
military, education, urban sprawl, forced birth control, overpopulation,
defense tactics for the future, etc.  Have any of you found some good
websites that might help us with this subject?  I have found some by going
to www.lii.org.  Nonetheless I thought there might be someone who has
found better sites for teachers to use.
