Online Databases - What is so great about them?

Today our 3rd and 4th graders were introduced to an online database called kidsearch.  It is hosted by Ebsco and frankly about as userfriendly as an online database can be for a younger student.  Introducing and showing students that there is more out in the world to search besides Wikipedia and Google, just makes sense.  Students are being charged with becoming finders of relevant and useful information and this is one more tool they can use inorder to accomplish that task.  I have added KIDSEARCH under our sidebar "Useful Sites for Kids", so check it out and happy searching!
