Our school uses EBSCO, Proquest, and Gale. I cannot access ELM when I am not at the library so I cannot do the extras and challenges. Based on the experience of our middle school students, they have a difficult time finding enough information using these tools. Sometimes it is because the materials are either too advanced or too simple for their education levels and needs. As a result, they prefer to use the Internet for their research as they feel they find more and better information.
At some time in the future, I will work through each of the tools to see how we can make them more useable for our students.
Invitation on a Frosty Morning
I enjoyed a walk of a very frosty morning recently. The crisp calm air and hoarfrost clining to the trees was invigorating. This in one of my favorite photos from that morning.
