CEP

This is my new blog, specifically seperated for CEP 416.
I am looking at websites that talk about bilingual education. Personally, I am a strong supporter of bilingual education, for several reasons. Here is one website that I found:

ERIC Bilingual Studies


The website looks like it is not very professional, but I know that the name is related to ERIC, which is a popular and credible educational resource website for educators. I would want to double check this website and check its references beforing commiting to using it in say, a research paper, but I also recongize the name of the author. Stephen Krasen, who is a very big name in second language acquistion, thats another reason I chose this website. I really wouldnt use this particular website in teaching, because it doesnt contain lesson plans or ideas, but rather logical support and suggestion for how/why bilingual education is beneficial.

Before this week, I never really used any other search engine besides google, and I did eliminate small words, but never put anything in quotes. I learned a lot of different good resouces to search on the internet besides google (even though google is slowly taking over everything :) and that helped to broden my search.
