Hope your school year is off to a great start! Our school district has access to Britannica Online this year. This will be a GREAT resource to help you with projects and research in every subject area. In addition to having encyclopedia articles on tons of subjects, EB also contains: timelines, video clips, a dictionary/thesaurus, a world atlas, statistics for every state in the US, and news articles designed for students (this will help if your teacher requires current events write-ups!). If you have an email address, you can create your own Workspace to collect materials and return to them later.
Teachers: EB also contains related curriculum standards for each article, vocabulary help, and a read aloud option. Click here for a guided tour : http://corporate.britannica.com/k12_us_middle_tour.pdf
To access from SCHOOL just click on this link and then select Middle School: http://www.school.eb.com/
To access from HOME: click on the same link and then enter "marsd" for the username and "marsd" for the password.
As always, see me with any questions on how to access or use this resource.
