The Gale Reference Library is very interesting. I like the fact that a person can look in a whole list of different books on various topics. I spent time going through books on land forms, looking at well-known rivers of the world.
I would definitely need to spend some time researching myself, collecting the information that was helpful for a specific lesson. The information would be great to use on an interactive board, or even set up a list of links that the older students can use to research an assigned topic or a topic of their choice.
I read some other blogs and see that we have similar views on this library. It is a site full of great information when a person wants to do reading for themselves as well as assisting students in locating information that they are studying.
Thanks for the post. So glad you can see ways to use this. I'll especially point out the Worldmark Encyclopedia of States for teachers & students studying states. Good comments!
