In an effort to keep you updated as to what has been added recently, we at
the Cisco Educational Archives offer this
handy-dandy weekly reference guide. Keep checking back weekly for our
finds, which are all stored under each respective topic (hotlinked for your
convenience).
If you would like to send us nifty pointers, information on your school,
or comments in general, please send mail to cearch@sunsite.unc.edu or
use our mail form.
Updating and Improving
We're currently working on a new design and layout for the CEARCH pages,
so if by chance you encounter a link that fails to work, please send mail to cearch@sunsite.unc.edu
and let us know what page(s) failed to be found. Thanks!
Please Note: The CEARCH eXcite search engine
is (still) temporarily unavailable. The indexing process has been
interrupted
several times and therefore has been unable to keep track of what has been
added to the files within our directories. The sysadmins of SunSITE are
looking into the problem and we will let you know when it is fixed and
back in running order. All apologies for any type of inconvenience this
may cause.
The new SunSITE search engine may be found off of this page: http://sunsite.unc.edu/search/ but it is not
CEARCH specific. You may receive documents which are not under the
CEARCH directories. There will soon be a unique CEARCH search when the
indexing process is finished - and of course, we will let you know as soon
as it is ready.

1997 NEH Summer
Seminars and Summer Institutes for School Teachers - Ah! With topics
that can make even the most hardened educator drool with joy. I sure wish
I could get to go to these - make the most of your summer with a course
that's exciting and fun and, for the most part, government-sponsored.
Subject Matter
Science
Wow! One of the strangest things we have
discovered is this brief Kool-Aid lab
experiment wherein one separates the components of Kool-Aid using
liquid chromatography. Very interesting, and you can drink your sample
(before the experiment, that is). It's under the Access Excellence
web site (look under "Activities Challenge"), which
is a listing of of science (mainly biology-related) activities created and
contributed by educators to share with others. It's very, very, very
nifty. The main site itself is a plethora of handy information with
sections for student and teacher and parent alike. All in all, an amazing
site well worth seeing.
