Search Find Learn

Michelle Gallen's e-learning blog.

Why Search Find Learn?

Because I feel that Search, Find, Learn describes how we learn in the 21st century - we Search for what we need to know, we Find it, and we Learn it. This blog explores how technology is helping us do that.

Humans have been on a learning journey since the dawn of time. And it's never been so exciting. If you're using technology in an effective, experimental or innovative way, I'd love to hear from you. I can blog about your project/website/idea, or you can contribute a guest post. Send me an email describing what you're up to.

Irish Dictionary.org — Open Source Language resource



Eoin from www.irishdictionary.org works hard to bring Irish language resources to as many people as possible, for free. His online English Irish dictionary is a great example of this.

It's a wiki dictionary (wiktionary) - created by submissions from its users. The dictionary has over 1,500 entries, and it's growing every day. You can also download a pdf containing all the dictionary entries.

Eoin's aim is to have a simple, accessible dictionary with fast search. You can search in Irish and in English. Eoin himself is the first to admit his dictionary isn't perfect - but he believes it's better to have something than nothing.

Eoin's approach and goals can be summed up in two old Irish proverbs:

Tús maith, leath na hoibre - A good start is half the work
and
Trí na chéile a thógtar na cáisléain - In our togetherness, castles are built.

Ádh mór ort (good luck)!
