38 online encycyclopedias
Wow! Who would have believed ten, or even five, years ago that 38 encyclopedias would be available on the Internet! Though the encyclopedias are not all free, the list is impressive. Thanks to A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet for the list.

QR or Quick Response
You have surely seen these funny looking black and white squares.
A Media Specialist's Guide to the Internet has an explanation of what and how the QR codes work.
"QR stands for Quick Response, and is made up of black modules in a square shape on a white background.Actually, you could call it a 3D bar code. The encoded text in the square can represent a web address or text. Camera phones (with a QR app) or QR readers can read the encoded message."
The blog entry has links to ideas on using the QR code in the classroom. And QRstuff.com provides more information on the codes, a code generator and phone information.
