SDSL Lesson 1a World Book

I have had a very busy week and I have just begun my exploration of the South Dakota Library Challenge: Electronic Resources Edition.  I believe I was introduced to World Book Kids a few years ago by our tech person but unfortunately did not use it right away and I am finding out today that World Book Kid is a valuable resource.  As I tour each aspect of World Book Kids I realize the many ways I can use this information in library class.
I grew up in the age of the hard copy World Book.  We have a World Book set we purchased in 1989 for our six children.  It was put to good use through their years of school.  There is a world of difference in what can be offered electronically.  To actually see and hear people, birds, places, etc is valuable.  Satellite views on maps and videos are so useful in learning.
I plan to use the World Book Web as well as share it with my children and grandchildren.
