"This is to let you know that the Ministry of Education has just notified me that they will be re-newing their subscription to EPIC on behalf New Zealand schools for 2011.
Another exciting development is that 3 new resources are being added to the subscription. These have not been added yet as I am working through the set-up with the vendor and TKI, but once they have been, I will send an e-mail out to let you know.
The new resources are:
Global Resources In Context http://www.gale.cengage.com/pdf/facts/GML26709_GIC_K12.pdf (A media rich, content driven, easy to use e-resource that brings balanced information to students seeking to understand international issues and news headlines by tying together news, global viewpoints, reference, country information, primary source documents, video, statistics and more.)
Science In Context http://www.gale.cengage.com/pdf/facts/Science-In-Context-Factsheet-K12.pdf (Science In Context features authoritative information for assignments and projects, and provides detailed coverage of popular subjects. Subjects range from earth science and life science, to space, technology, mathematics, science history, biography and more.)
Educator's Reference Complete http://www.gale.cengage.com/pdf/facts/ERC.pdf (This comprehensive resource for teachers covers multiple levels of education from preschool to University and includes information on virtually every educational specialty.)
If you are not using EPIC in your school, particularly secondary school, you are missing out on a useful resource. See other posts on this blog for ideas of how EPIC has been promoted...
