Breakfast Bytes: Subscription Electronic Resources

Posted by techallen on 7th December 2008

The first day of Breakfast Bytes featured Subscription Electronic Resources.  These should be the first place you go when doing research with your students.  Why?  These resources are reliable, non-biased and kid friendly.  Sometimes it is difficult to find information that is the level that is easy for your students to read and understand.  Remember you can use these at home or at school but make sure you use the correct username and password.

World Book
www.worldbookonline.com – terrific online encyclopedia

Culturegrams:
http://online.culturegrams.com- excellent resource for geography and cultural information

eLibrary
www.proquestk12.com – tons of kidfriendly info and more!

Which resource do you think is the most helpful to you and your students?  Have you used these before?
