Pioneer  Library   **Library**

[|CultureGrams]: The information in this site is awesome. It starts out that you can choose where you would like to start looking with the options of worldwide, stateside, provinces, and one that talks about kids in different countries and what their everyday life is like. I went to the world one and then to Italy. It had tons of information about several different things about the country. I thought the quality of the information was great. It had a small summary and then it had larger portions of information. The information is very current and shows you many things about the country. This resource was very easy to navigate. It would be perfect for a child in elementary school and very useful for a person in college. I would use this for geography or if the students need to do reports on countries or states or anything like that.

[|World Book]:

This information is an encyclopedia. It has tons of information about anything you could think of. It also has activities, pictures, and link for Spanish speakers and kids. I visited the kids one and it was awesome. The information was very current and the quality of it was very accurate. I was comparing animals and it had lots of information to compare both animals. This resource was super easy to navigate in especially the kids link because it was simple and seemed to help you step by step. I would use this to teach my students with almost anything. It was fun to use and the kids could use this when they start to learn how to do research.

[|SIRS Discover]:

This resource you would pick a topic and search it and many different sites would come up onto your screen about that topic you chose. The quality of the information seemed nice because it told you who were the contributors to each site and a little about what each site has on it. I think it is pretty current and it pulls up the best ones for your topic instead of Google where it may pull up anything that has part of the topic in it. It seems to get straight to the point you are searching. It is fairly easy to navigate and it gives lots of options. I would use this to get lesson plans ready or to tell stories or information. I think the students could use this in any subject because they will easily find what they are looking for. I can mostly see them using it for research things.
