Thing #12 Rollyo: an exercise in frustration


Sorry, but I don't like the "Rollyo" website. It has sucked up huge amounts of my time and turned me into a raving lunatic. I keep going back to it (have been for a week) because I think that this is my problem, but it aggravates me that when I look at other people's search rolls, their links do not work. Also, I'm not impressed with the quality of the websites (I'm looking specifically for those pertinent to teaching Biology) that I have found here. Carol's suggestion to search "Public Domain eBooks" finally yielded some results, with the discovery of IPL, the Internet Public Library. Yea! I finally found some fantastic life sciences resources. Here's a lovely diagram of several molecules of water, a ubiquitous substance that we take for granted, but which is absolutely essential to life.

  1. Yeah! You have just saved me a bunch more frustration, as I cannot get my link to work either! Off to better things!

  2. Kids have started to use the IPL - it's a cool site. To think they may actually go there first instead of google...
