[|Fun Fact]
 * || How does a cactus survive in the desert?? Cacti are succulent plants found in the desert that usually have thick stems and no leaves. Because of their size, water does not evaporate from the plant as quickly as it does from smaller plants that have many leaves. The roots of a cactus go very far into the earth and are able to reach water that is deep in the desert. Some cacti have colorful blossoms and even produce berries that can be eaten. ||

SIRS -100% of SIRS teaching and learning resources are curriculum-relevant, standards-based, and access a variety editorially selected, copyrighted, publisher quality media types -Lexile and SIRS reading scores for each article help teachers to help students select articles they can read and understand to differentiate learning. -Teachers can access a variety of free SIRS-specific inquiry-based learning activities that integrate 21st Century Skills and critical thinking. -21st Century (WEB 2.0) tools for students to organize, analyze, and report/present what they have learned using integrated critical thinking skills. Google -Less than 10% of Google is K-12 curriculum-relevant, and is limited to websites; most are consumer oriented, distracting to students, and many are from sources that are questionable or even inappropriate. -NO equivalent research-proven tool available to guide students and teachers in differentiating instruction and learning. -Google can access lesson plan websites, but busy teachers will have to do the necessary selection, adaptation, and correlation to state standards. -Google provides student applications for organizing information sources and then and publishing in a variety of formats. Applications are not integrated as with SIRS.
 * SIRS and Google**

Why students should use SIRS over Google.... 1- All research would be related to the curriculum 2- SIRS will have tools to help students stay organized 3- SIRS allows students to read on their reading level


 * United States Presidents**

"Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men." ==[|-Franklin Delano Roosevelt] ==

[|**CultureGram Peru**] Internet cafés = //cabinas de internet//
 * [[image:http://online.culturegrams.com/world/images/spacer.gif width="4" height="1"]] || Peruvians take education seriously. Public education is free and compulsory between ages seven and sixteen. However, many schools lack basic materials, and facilities are inadequate. Though Peru has increased efforts to extend primary schooling into remote areas, educational resources in rural areas remain severely lacking. Families with any means send their children to private schools, which are generally Catholic. In Lima, a number of private international schools provide education in English, Italian, German, Chinese, and French. ||

Utah County has always been a fertile land for agriculture and fishing. The early residents of Utah County, the Ute indians, camped along the East shore of Utah Lake. In 1776 Fathers Domingues and Escalante traveled through the area on their way to California. It wasn’t until1849 that Mormon settlers came to live in the area and choose the same fertile ground as the earlier Utes. In 1875 Brigham Young Academy was established as a High School academy but later grew into Brigham Young University (BYU) [|.]
