Lesson 1 World Book


1.) World Book Kids would be difficult to use as I work in a library for engineers and science majors. That being said, under the "Science Projects," the selecting and researching a topic could prove helpful for anyone.


2.) World Book Students.  This site maybe helpful to some of our freshmen students who are less familiar with other resources available. I liked the fact that they could find significant people, and also have a biography with it and a chance to read various newspaper articles, that fit there own personal taste.


3.)  World Book Advanced.   The tools in this section would be very helpful for students in many ways, the hear text aloud was funny to me because of was so robotic.


4.) World Book Discover.  Reference tools gives very good research material, especially for students just starting out on their own. The timeline was a useful tool as well.
