I teach fifth and sixth graders a weekly class on research and study skills in the school computer lab. Lately I’ve been hooked on showing kids how to find information beyond a basic Google search.
Students can “google,” but they rarely dig deeper than the first page of results. Enter Britannica School.
No need to dust off those print encyclopedias! New York residents can access Britannica School online. In our bi-weekly research sessions we log in through NOVELNY (New York Online Electronic Library). After creating personal accounts, students explore full-text articles, images, and engaging videos, saving everything to digital folders. Look out, world—lifelong learners are on the loose!
