For my other class (Instructional Resource Selection), we had to create an electronic reference collection, without using databases.
I used Symbaloo for the first time, and I loved it. It creates a dashboard of buttons, and you can customize it to your own needs (or the needs of your students). It's like LiveBinders or Only2Clicks in some ways, but it's more visually appealing.
I found traditional reference sources (Merriam-Webster, Almanacs, etc.), but also a ton of good research sites like Pebble Go and Classics for Kids (music information). So if you're interested, check it out!

ReplyDeleteIt's so visually appealing, and the icons would help the little guys.
