Going Deeper

I am really glad that we have thing 7 to reflect upon.  Some of the sites talk about how students don't know how to search beyond a general google search.  As I have been reading some of the information, it occurred to me that I don't know how to go deeper in searching online either.  I really like the colleg@home.com website because it gave a lot of really helpful ideas on how to get what you are looking for.  Also, at times I feel like there are soo many resources available that I don't know how to bring it down to the ones that will be of the most use to my students.  I really like this website because it breaks down which search engine to use for which need.  I hope that these things stay on the mili wiki for a long time because I use the mili website to go back and find what I used.
The google educator was ok, but not super helpful.  For the most part, I have been disappointed with sites for educators.  Maybe I am not doing them right.  Does anyone have an educator website that they use frequently and they find super helpful?
