My topic area is teaching research skills in an elementary school library. The website I discovered is
Research Rocket presented by the Kentucky Virtual Library. It is an AWESOME website! It is very kid friendly. The graphics and vibrant colors are very appealing and child appropiate. It is a web based tutorial that takes kids step by step and throughout the research process. It has links to each of the six steps and each step explains it in easy to understand language. There are further links to define terms within each step.
I came across this website through another website,
TeacherLibraianNing, it is a community for teachers-librarians and other educators. I was searching for an image to use that would correlate with my topic area of interest. I had used the term "library research" on Google Image and a blogger had used this image from the tutorial.
