Online Resource Database Bundle Toolkit
These toolkit materials have been developed by teachers for teachers, to help you get the most out of these databases.
We're presenting seven separate toolkits covering, as you'll see from the side menu, seven different themes. Material is clearly organized into elementary and secondary resources. In each section you'll find:
- Information on how to get started
- Lesson plans
- Links to supporting material (such as IRPs, journals, primary and secondary sources, audio, videos, photos and articles etc)
- Video tutorials and PowerPoint presentations developed by EBSCO, World Book and Encyclopedia of BC for use in the classroom
