Earth Day Classroom Resources

Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. April 22 corresponds to spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.

Catch of the Day - Sqworl - 11 Mar 10

Sqworl is today's ocean fresh delight

Sqworl is a site that allows you to easily collect and organize links to web sites on your own free web page.

Sqworl Home Page

Each group (page) you create has a unique URL. The easiest way to add a new page to a group is by using the Sqworl bookmarklet. Enter a short description for the link if you wish. A thumbnail of the site's home page is automatically provided for the link.

Adding a Link with the Sqworl Bookmarklet

The mobile version of Sqworl for the iPhone/iPod Touch can be accessed through your device's Safari browser [http://sqworl.com/m]. Simply login and navigate through your groups. The link thumbnails are not shown. This is NOT an iPhone app that needs to be downloaded and installed, but a browser based app.

Sample Sqworl Page

See a video demo of Sqworl

The goal of Sqworl is to be a clean, simple, and easy way to visually organize multiple links and it seems to do it remarkably well.

Back in August 2009, I did a piece on LiveBinders. Although the two sites present their products differently, there are similarities between LiveBinders and Sqworl in both functionality and application.
