Need help integrating technology into your classroom? Want to show
students how to get answers to their questions, whether at school or at
home? 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,
