OK so I have just learned about a few new way to look up information beside using a regular mudan google search apparently there is google scholar and simple wikipedia. I found both of these failry different and useful but in very different ways.
I believe that google scholar has lots of information written by students for other students. There are many papers and essays and experiments with research and evidence to back them up. While these works are well written an well established they do seem to be a bit....dry? or at least technical. Perhaps a bit to hight level for my future students to use. However it may prove to be a very helpful database for me to conduct research in the future.
On the other hand there is simple wikipedia this site has got me really excited. Imagine the great knowledge of wikipedia but now in more practical simple english. Now younger students or people who are working on their english can now read and search to there hearts delight (unfortunately there are not quite as many articles in the simple version as there in the regular version but I feel that there are still plenty). I look forward to the possibility of perhaps using some of these articles in future classes.
