Il restera dans l'histoire de la culture numérique comme le fondateur du « projet Gutenberg », un projet coopératif majeur datant des débuts de l'internet et ayant réussi à créer un gigantesque fonds de livres numérisés offerts en partage. Il y a quarante ans, en juillet 1971, le jeune Michael Hart reçoit son sésame pour utiliser, en temps partagé, l'ordinateur Xerox de l'Université d'Illinois à Urbana-Champain. Peu versé sur le calcul, il se demande ce qu'il pourrait bien faire d'utile à la société à partir d'un tel outil, limité, n'utilisant qu'un jeu de caractères en capitales, et très lent en regard des ordinateurs d'aujourd'hui. Il utilisera son temps pour recopier la « Déclaration d'Indépendance » des États-Unis, en songeant aux idées de bibliothèques universelles lancées par les « pères fondateurs » de l'informatique, notamment Vannevar Bush, Joseph Licklider ou Ted Nelson. Caen, le 10 septembre 2011 Hervé Le Crosnier

Ploy | Dicionário Inglês - Português | Michaelis Sobre o dicionário O sucesso dos dicionários Michaelis é motivo de orgulho para a Editora Melhoramentos. Há décadas esta linha de dicionários, líderes absolutos no mercado, tem sido atualizada e acrescida de novas obras, tornando-se referência tanto no Brasil como em Portugal. A Melhoramentos reafirmou sua tradição em editar dicionários de qualidade lançando o Michaelis Moderno Dicionário Inglês & Português; o maior e mais completo dicionário bilíngue disponível no mercado. Os dicionários Michaelis foram criados no final do século XIX pela lexicógrafa alemã Henriette Michaelis, em colaboração com sua irmã Carolina Michaelis de Vasconcelos, figura de destaque nos estudos filológicos de Portugal. Em 1950, a Melhoramentos adquiriu os direitos de publicação dos dicionários Michaelis e, após extensos trabalhos de revisão e atualização, lançou o Michaelis Dicionário Ilustrado Inglês-Português (1957) e Português-Inglês (1961).

Website where anyone can access free online audio and print ebooks. Volunteers have given their time to record and put together content from books that fall in the public domain. Very helpful for accessing classic literature for free. Would recommend for students in late junior high through high school.

Recommendations:
1. Use the audio books for a read aloud in class.
2. Students can read chapters of classic literature on their own and then collaborate with their classmates to put together projects based from the books.
3. Teachers can have students record themselves reading chapters of a particular book from the site similar to how volunteers record themselves reading a particular text. Afterward, the student can talk about what they learned from reading and rereading the text. Students can talk about what content and tone they focused on when reading to themselves vs. reading aloud. by htravis4 Oct 28
