Awesome. I liked the visual dictionary. It was so easry to find an animal using this. Everything is in French or English. The public would appreciate this dictionary.

The Spanish language encyclopedia will be very useful for spanish speaking patrons. We have many that don't speak much english at all. This could be very useful for students or adults.

Lesson 1a

Using World Book Advanced, I searched for Afghanistan. I liked the way the articles contents were put in outline form. Easy for patrons to find what they're looking for. Also, on the right side, I thought the related information was interesting too. I believe the patrons will find lots of valuable information using World Book Advanced.
4. Using World Book Discover, it is very useful to have the read-aloud toolbar. And to the left, you can change it to another language. Very helpful.

Lesson 1: World Book School Edition

The World Book Kids is as basic as you can get. I love that it will read the article to the child. And the hands on activities are terrific.
The difference is obvious between the kids and student editions. There is much more information given to the student.

South Dakota Library Challenge

I found my old blog! Hope I can use this one again instead of the new one. Time to start working on my lessons.
