Fifth grade students are curious! They have just embarked on a scavenger hunt, searching online databases for valuable information! Along with Librarian Mrs. Jackson, students became more accustomed to using our online databases such as World Book Web, Pebble Go, and Ebsco Searchasaurus, to find information. They are also building background knowledge and media literacy skills while conducting their research in an online environment.
World Book Student Online has a great tool for students to use to explore timelines. Voigt Librarian, Christine Jackson, is teaching students how to use this educational tool by either choosing a prebuilt timeline created from the greatest events in history or building their own from scratch! All of the timelines are fully editable and can be saved to the students' World Book account for online viewing or printed out in hard copy. By utilizing World Book Online, student have the opportunity to use interactive technology enviroments to manipulate information as well as publish information in a variety of media. Students and their families can access this resource while at school or at home by visiting the Voigt website and clicking on the Library tab.
