What a wonderful experience! I enjoyed getting to explore all that the SD State Library site has to offer. I finally know how to use some of the resources on the site.
My biggest discovery is the World Book Online. I have already used it with my students and am going to be using it again this week. Actually, they are going to use it - not me. I think it is a great resource and know I will use it over and over at school
Personally, I loved Ancestry Library & Heritage Quest. As I was exploring these two resources, I was asking questions of my parents. This prompted them to find the information already gathered about my ancestors - family books that were made, history that was typed up, family trees printed off, and photos to show me. It was fun to see all of the work that my relatives already did.
I will do my best to share my knowledge about these great resources with my colleagues. The best thing that I can do is to share by word of mouth & to back up the librarian when she shares these great resources.
Great, Pam! Thanks for being part of our Challenge! You're right, your students can do World Book by themselves. And we're glad your family history knowledge has been enriched. CONGRATULATIONS on completing the Challenge!!!!
