Besides a layout deceivingly amateurish, this is a portal to a wealth of solid information directly supporting the Common Core: http://www.infotopia.info/. May be used by teachers as well as students.

Recently, a librarian had this to say about Infotopia:
ReplyDelete"Here it is – www.infotopia.info - the alternative to google that we should be telling our students about! Aside from just having fabulous background images that change every day, Infotopia is a quality search engine that uses limited and “approved” sources (i.e. not Wikipedia). It actually creates resource lists for searchers so that you know what sources the information is coming from. A simple serach is easy and quick but perhaps its best feature is the refinement bar on the top of every search. It provides a list of limitations and refinements that users can easily apply to their search. On my next day in the library I am going to set this site as the default internet browser and hope that teenagers’ natural inclination towards laziness causes them to use Infotopia for their searches."
