NC WiseOwl (NC Online Windows for Learning) has been providing online subscription resources for our schools since 1999.  Our mission is to ensure that all of our public and charter school students have access to a collection of online resources for use in research projects and homework assignments, without regard to the economic status of their local school system.  NC WiseOwl has three major strengths as an educational resource:

ProCon.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. Our purpose is to provide resources for critical thinking and to educate without bias. We research issues that are controversial and important, and we present them in a balanced, comprehensive, straightforward, transparent, and primarily pro-con format at no charge.

How much do you know about the four different kinds of plagiarism.  Are you doing it all wrong?  Test yourself and find out.  

Internet Detective is a free online tutorial that will help you develop Internet research skills. The tutorial looks at the critical thinking required when using the Internet for research and offers practical advice on evaluating the quality of web sites.

Think Google is the best way to do research?  Think again.  Google is a popularity contest with no real way to know what is true and what is not.  For real research, try a database of Journals and reports like NC Wise Owl or ProCon.org.
