The Archivist By Mix Online
The Archivist is a service that uses the Twitter Search API to find and archive tweets. The Archivist does not have access to the Twitter "firehose" (ie., all the tweets ever on a subject) . As such, the tweets archived by The Archivist are not guaranteed to represent a complete historical record of a given term or search.

The aim of The Faculties website is to encourage deeper learning, stretch and inspire learners and help them make a successful transition to university. On 'The Faculties', the recordings are specially designed for the A-level classroom. All the topics have been provided by the major exam boards and by teachers and so consequently, they are more directly relevant to the A-level curriculum.

UK’s open access full-text search engine to aid research : JISC
Open access research is now more accessible as JISC has developed a new search engine to help academics, students and the general public navigate papers held in the UK’s open access repositories. JISC has funded the Open University’s Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) to create an innovative new search facility which searches not just the abstract but the full text of the article. When researchers use current systems like Google Scholar to search academic papers they can find themselves denied access to the full article, particularly when subscription fees are required. They also typically have to search across a number of open access repositories or use searches that harvest data from different sources. But now, using the COnnecting REpositories tool or CORE, people can search the full text of items held in 142 approved Open Access repositories. “UK repositories contain a wealth of high quality research papers.

The Office of Naval Research has an interactive site filled with science and technology exploration for learners. Learners can explore oceanography, space, and blow the ballast. Each section having sub categories that let learners narrow down their focus. The majority of the website is information with accompanying images and short quizzes. To be honest, the Science and Technology Office of Naval Research looks old fashioned but, because of the wealth of information that it offers and the student-friendly language and explanations it uses, I feel it is worth a closer look.
These maps are the result of an unprecedented effort by Nature Conservancy scientists, in collaboration with governments, scientists and conservation organizations around the world.
