Description:

Everglades Explorer is a library, archive and research service with customized search engines. Everglades Explorer's mission is to provide easier location of quality and specific information, and improve quick access to data, publications and maps buried or scattered across the shallow and deep web. The portal also provides records, links and archives connecting directly to video, sound recordings, pamphlets, books, photos, art, curriculum material, government reports, theses and dissertations, scientific data sets, and more.

Everglades Explorer makes use of :

1) An open source discovery system (eXtensible Catalog) collecting and housing thick metadata in MARCXML and Dublin Core linking directly to diverse academic digital resources;

2) The Internet Archive, collecting and linking searchers to Everglades related documents, reports and other resources in .pdf and media formats, mostly harvested from government and non-government organizations(NGO).

3) A targeted Google API searching across thin Everglades metadata and real-time Content Management System (CMS) websites of partners, and other select organizations and government agencies.

Title: Land of the Eagle. Nature. Teacher's Guide. Access ERIC: FullText

URL: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED460848.pdf

Collection: Everglades Explorer -- EAPRA (Assorted PDF & Report Archive)

Description: This curriculum guide was developed for use with public television's Nature series. The materials in the guide are designed to help students actively participate in the study and experience of nature. Students are encouraged to view the programs as naturalists would, observing animals in their habitats, noting their behavior, examining the environmental, economic, and political factors that affect their condition, and drawing conclusions. Each lesson in the Teacher's Resource Guide includes: (1) a "Program Overview" that presents background information and brief synopses of the program to be viewed; (2) "Before Viewing the Program" that familiarizes students with the program's subject and allows them to set purposes for viewing; and (3) "After Viewing the Program" that provides discussion questions to help students assess the main points of the program. Some lessons also contain: (i) "Objectives" that provide the teacher with measurement goals; (ii) "Vocabulary" that features definitions of unfamiliar words used in each program; and (iii) a "Naturalist's Guide" (student worksheet) to be duplicated and distributed to students. The programs highlighted in this guide examine the natural history of North America. Program titles include "The Great Encounter,""Conquering the Swamps,""Across the Sea of Grass,""The First and Last Frontier,""Confronting the Wilderness,""Into the Shining Mountains,""Living on the Edge," and "Searching for Paradise." (Contains 41 references.) (WRM)
