\"\"<\/a>As I said last week, I love “real” books. Holding them in my hands, flipping the pages, scanning, skimming, and reading closely the printed page. But – I also find online research helps – well, helpful. This week I’m sharing 2 weblinks, because they are related – both research tools I use.<\/p>\n

When I’m writing at the computer, it is so much easier to look a word up and copy and paste the definition into into my “paper” (computer document) than to write it all out by hand. My favorite dictionary is Webster’s 1828<\/a>, the original American dictionary. I found a search box on someone’s blog for it the other day. I’ll have to get the code and add it to my webpages too.<\/p>\n

The other research tools I love to use online are Bible reference tools. Like the 1828, I have hardcopies of them too, and I do use them and teach the children to use them also. But when you want the convenience of not having to drag them all out and be surrounded by a pile of open books, and want to save time, searching online tools is helpful. And again you can cut and paste what you need into your “papers”. Blueletter Bible<\/a> is my favorite online Bible reference site.<\/p>\n

These 2 tools will help both you and your students complete your research, and insert it, much quicker. I hope you find them as helpful as I do. To read more Weblinks Wednesday posts (hosted by SoCalVal) click the duck graphic above.<\/p>\n
