Worldbook Online Reference Center

This database is very comprehensive. The first results screen provides quite an impressive list of subjects. Students will be able to find out as much information as they need on one section of their inquiry or scroll through the side bars and grab just some quick facts. The "double-click" dictionary is kind of cool. Actually all of the items in the toolbox at the top of the page are awesome.

Worldbook Online Info Finder

Worldbook Online Info Finder places the info immediately at the students reach. The article contents column breaks down the article making it easy to navigate. Students would be able to search at a glance and quickly decide if this article would be helpful for them or not. As I was scanning the article I felt like the students would be able to create a pretty complete report using this data base.

Worldbook Online Kids

Worldbook Online Kids not only had info on the giraffes habitat it also had videos, a couple more pictures and alot more related articles.



Giraffes live in Africa south of a large desert called the Sahara.


This was from World Book Kids.


The World Book Student site included a link to a map of where giraffes live.
