I thought a kookabura was a cute, furry mammal - guess I was wrong.
I have children at home who would get great use out of this resource. I like that the information is separated by format, i.e., newspaper, reference, magazine, web. The various reading levels make the site much more user friendly for various age groups. I even found an activity that could be used by a teacher in their classroom.
Wow! The map feature is awesome. My 8th grader is studying the Revoluionary War and it's hard to explain to him how differently the country looked at that time. It also breaks it down by time period as well as battles. Impressive!
The last Database Feature I looked at was the Science Fair. Again, very helpful for my daughter's 3rd grade science fair project. It gives you an equipment and supplies list, instructions, and explanation of why you get the results you do.
Glad this one hit home for you, Wendy! Children's librarians in public libraries sometimes use the Activities feature to find programming ideas. Thanks for your comments.
