1. I chose "Maps and More". We are given three choices: "Interactive Maps", "World Book Atlas", and "Outline Maps and Flags". This information can be used for students completing assignments on different countries or for personal research for a trip, or just for fun. Ways I could see myself using it in the library include assisting patrons with their questions and locating smaller, lesser-known countries that we may not have books available for. The interactive maps allow students to see satellite maps as well as roadway and terrain maps. World Book Atlas allows you to print maps as well as learn additional information about each county such as climate, temperatures, agriculture, fishing, mining and manufacturing in that area. Outline maps and flags allows users to view and print simple maps as well as see each country or state's flag.
You know your World Book maps, Laurie! Thanks for digging in here. I hope you'll take some time to try out the other features in Kids, too.
