In grade 5, students have the opportunity to complete research projects. That means we need to provide them with many different types of sources so they can learn lots of new facts. One online source is World Book.
Below is a letter written by our lovely librarian to share with you any information you may need.
If the
students have any problems in using Worldbook Online from home, or accessing
their personal folders, or if you have any questions about using this product,
please feel free to contact me: library@iswinterthur.ch
Below is a letter written by our lovely librarian to share with you any information you may need.
Dear
Parents,
ISW Library
Media Centre has recently added World Book Online to our subscription
information sources. World Book Online suits the needs of our school really
well. The encyclopedia articles are accessible in 4 different levels: Kids
(Grades 1-5), Student (Grades 5-8, Advanced (Grades 7 and
up) and Discover (for older EAL students). The articles in the
encyclopedia can be listened to and translated into many languages. Students
using the Student version also have the possibility to save their
research in a personal folder, where they can keep track of the articles and
books they use in their research.
At ISW
students have direct access to World Book Online (since our IP address is
recognized by World Book’s website). To access this from home students need to
login to www.worldbookonline.com.
Students have been given a login name and password for these purposes (on a
World Book bookmark). This login information is only for ISW students and
should not be shared with people not associated with our school.
Grade 5
students have created personal folders (for which the login and password is the
same that they use to login at computers at school). They have practiced using
this feature this and they all know how to successfully create a research
project and add information sources to this.
