For week 2  I did Lesson 2a and looked up a mammel.  I looked up Humpback whales.

What I discovered in the  Elementary level, there was quite alot information about whales, the information  was very easy to read and understand. They used simple terms to describe about whales and their habits.

At the middle school level I found Britannica starting to use more complex terms, and also starts
to use the scientific names of the whales.  The facts are alot more detailed

At the High school level I looked up Germany.  On the right side column there were additional contents where you could find journals and magazine articles about Germany.  It also offered
Web sites that gave you more information.  There were primary sources such as books and e-books
about Germany and it's history.  Earlier maps of Germany showing how the country had been
divided from 1914-1990.  There was also a link to hear Germany's national anthem.


I also found the the "Workspace" could be very useful to students and teachers.  One feature of workspace would allow for articles that the person is interested in to be organized and saved for future use.

Hope you found this blog to be aleast a LITTLE intersting!!

  1. I'm glad you're finding the tools useful - and, yes, the blog was interesting. All the entries, short or long, give a different perspective on the resources and that is very interesting and informative.
