World Book Online -- Encyclopedia and More

OK I think I finally figured it out - I am now officially blogging - Hurray!! Ok Lesson 1A
I looked for information on owls - clicked on a link to a website - owls of the world...thought the kids version was very user - I looked up spotted owls in the student version and I learned something new about this awesome owl - it is not afraid of humans - this version offered a lot more detailed information. I have used World Book advanced before and I show it to the Geography classes - they use it to prepare their country reports - I played them the Finnish National Anthem during my presentation - it was a big hit!! The World Book Discover would be very helpful for our foreign exchange students - it can translate pages into different languages....overall I am very impressed with worldbook as a research tool....
