RESEARCH+SKILLS



In class we explored several different online resources to see how each one could help us research about various topics. The one our group explored was [|eLibrary]. In our investigation, we evaluated the various functions of the website. eLibrary is similar to Google in the way it accesses a database of webpages to display relevant results. However, eLibrary's database of webpages are all examined by professionals to make sure all content is relevant. This helps keep unwanted webpages from your view and helps you focus in on information useful to you. eLibrary also searches several types of media, such as text, videos, newpaper and magazine articles, and maps. Other websites such as BrainPop utilize videos to create an interactive learning environment to help make sure you learn what is given. Gizmo does the same thing with different applications.
