    I have not used this, but I am going to add this site to my Blackboard and write it down for the kids to use in the classroom for projects.

    We are now using this to support students studying biographies in 3rd grade. If the students forget their notes, this is a great place for them to look to get more information.

    I use this with my kids for research...some topics for 5th grade have been hard to find, but most (general) ones are there. Perfect for the science projects, biographies and mathemetician studies we do in 5th---better suited for kid research than google!
