Awesome Apps for Science Experiments, Storytelling, Coding and More
The mobile language learning startup Mindsnacks launched its Mandarin iPhone app this month.

information fluency search tips
Searching Tip #1 Don't waste time looking for things you are not likely to find on the Internet. What you are likely to find on the Internet: Text to Moby Dick Scripts to Shakespeare's plays What you most likely won't find on the Internet: Text to Harry Potter Text to The Lord of the Rings If you are searching for information that can only be found in a book (or other copyrighted materials) published in the past 50 to 75 years, chances are you won't find it on the Internet.

How do I refine my search?
