Adventure Number 1!

1. The maps are easy to use and have a lot of information that the students can use when studying different countries. They also have information about the countries flag. I also like the quick and easy science projects that are available. This site is very easy to use.
2. Behind the Headlines in World Book I was able to click within the report that would take me to a "special report" or article that contained in depth information about subjects mentioned in the report. The tags also offer easy ways to find information with a click of a button!(Now just to get the students to click that button!)
3. For teachers to be able to click on the content standard to view was so helpful. I also like the fact that the text can be read to you. The websites you can visit relating to the book or author are an added bonus for viewing different images or information. 
4. The way the visual dictionary breaks down the parts of science makes is nice for the visual learners! The time line is wonderful! I like the atlas for the all information it gives on the country you are studying. The help with organizing research is nice! The World Book Explains videos are fun to add to the subject being study.
