Looking for ways to use the computer with Kindergarten classes? Come join us for a hands-on INFOhio IVDL training workshop on Britannica Online School Edition, with a special focus on elementary resources, starting
with new online activities for PreKindergarten-2nd grade students. Elementary teachers and librarians are invited to this workshop where we will explore Britannica's collection of reference materials, maps and photos, recommended Internet sites, and current magazine articles, plus an expanded collection of video and media content for online viewing or download. Britannica includes teacher resources like the Ohio Academic Content Standards and student activities for Reading, Writing, Math, History and Science.
