Educational Resources
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has multiple ways for people to learn more about birds. More structured avenues include the self-paced, college-level Home Study Course in Bird Biology. The BirdSleuth curriculum is designed to help elementary and middle-school students discover science through bird projects. A five-week online course "Courtship and Rivalry in Birds" is now available through eCornell.
The Lab is also runs the subscription resource Birds of North America Online, which contains all the latest scientific research available for each North American species and includes sounds, images, and some video.
Informal resources include the All About Birds website with its online bird guide with pictures, sounds, and video for hundreds of North American bird species. A new video series called Inside Birding provides tips from the experts on how to get more out of the pastime.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or resources:
“An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to inspire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
