As i have started my searching for my answers about Hawaii, I have found a lot of information. I have first started my search by going to my delicious account and then creating a diig account. Both are the same thing, they are bookmarking sites where you can keep all of the sites that you want in one location instead of having to try to find them all the time and not being able to find them again. I also went to yahoo.com and typed in Hawaii to see what websites there were that might be helpful in answering the questions that I have. Most of the websites that i have looked at have a lot of useful information about Hawaii. I have also gone to the library to see what books they have. There are a lot of good books. I have found several on the geology like volcanoes, ocean and other national parks in Hawaii. There is also a book that has questions and answers about U.S. Geography that has some good questions and answers to them about Hawaii. I have also have one on the Arizona Memorial. I also found a book about different day tripos to take with the family. I have several books on hold with the library as well that will hopefully be useful in my research as well. Finally, I have talked with someone about their trip to Hawaii and got some information from them plus some books and magazines about Hawaii, the volcanoes and about Pearl Harbor that should be helpful.
From the websites and books that I have there is a lot of good information. I have found the answers to many of my questions already. Now I will start to narrow down the information that I have and try to see what sites and books will be the most helpful and useful in my research process.
I am not familiar with diig or delicious. I will need to investigate them. I am glad to see that you were able to find some information on some of the historical sites. There is so much great information available. I would imagine the challenge will be to narrow down your selections to better meet your needs. I guess that is what webbing and wiggling are all about.
ReplyDeleteI think I would get lost in the "family day trips" reading. Hawaii carries such an alure to a midwesterner like me that I would probably over plan a trip out there trying to fit as much into every day. I hope one of the day trips suggests a simple day relaxing at the beach.
