RedNova News - Technology - Web Portals: Smart Tools for Busy Educators

Teachers who become skillful at using directories and search engines have an easier time narrowing their searches: Search engines such as Google and web directories provided by services such as Yahoo! are very helpful.

As a result, teachers often either limit their use of the internet by sticking with a few sites and tools they know well, or they shy away from using online resources at all.

This approach involves the use of a web portal.

A quick look at the use of Web Portals in education as well as a brief history of the technology.
