Exploring these online resources has been very educational. I knew that there was lots of resources out there but I didn't know that these resources were available through the library. I know that I will be using them in the future especially if I'm teaching next year. It's good to know of reliable resources that are appropriate for children/students/adults and accurate. I would say that the most exciting resource for me right now would be the geneology resources. However, I'm not sure how much I will use them considering my distance from the library/school. I know World Book and Learning Express will be used most by me and my family. If I am teaching next year in the same capacity as this year, I'm sure some of the research resources such as SIRS and Proquest are going to come in handy. Printing out the handouts to have on hand for parents and students maybe a great idea just in case it comes up.
I have already been promoting these resources to friends, family and collegues. Many people don't know that the resources are there and are intruged when I tell them that I've been doing this challenge. I need to share this with the homeschool families I know, too!
This has been a very educational experience. I thank Jane and Julie for providing this learning opportunity.
You are welcome, Jenn. We are pleased you joined us in this session of the SD State Library E-Resources Challenge. We're glad you are spreading the word among people you know, and we would think that homeschoolers could greatly benefit from using these resources. CONGRATULATIONS on completing the Challenge!!! Now, take a bow!!!
