ArchiveGrid

Too impatient to mess with this one.  Probably because I wasn't looking for any documents in particular.

AncestryLIbrary

Did some digging on myself and family.  Need to spend more time searching deeper.

NetLibrary

I found myself really liking this resource.  I read portions from books on bullying and one one rural schools.  I might have to return to this resource more often.  I didn't look at any children's level books so I don't know how it might help at an elementary setting.

Wrap Up

My biggest discovery is that it's never too late for an old dog to learn new tricks.  I had never "blogged" before and got messed up in that process but thanks to the overseers of this project I got back on track. 

I plan on asking my library/media person to demo these to my staff.  I also plan to make an FAQ binder with the handouts for these resources to have available to staff.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn some new resources and a new way of learning.

Learning Express

I feel this resource has potential for use with my staff.  Have forwarded the information about it to them.  Even took a practice test--and did quite well.

World Book online Encyclopedia

Enjoyed the graphical interface.  Have forwarded the information to my teachers.  Hope to see more use of online resources in the next school year.

I couldn't get logged in to this resource.
