World Book Encyclopedia and More Lesson 1

World book-Kids:
1. My mammal of choice was polar bear.  The World BK Kids was elementary, but informative enough so a report could be given.  It showed a picture, description of the animal, and habitat, food source, and appearance.  Right side of screen click on map to see where the bear live.

The Student World book gave more detailed information in a similar format.  The cool thing was the "sound".  You could hear what a growling polar bear sounded like.  That feature was in both Kid and Student.  The left side of the screen had an introduction, bear on land, body, habits and VIDEO.  The right side of screen had "related information"

Advanced:
South Africa was my country - left side had 935 articles, primary sources, e-book, literary criticism maps and pictures.  The main section was South Africa, sections included:  SA -history, Government, flag and university.  The right side of the screen had other SA topics such as Union of South Africa, the Boer War, and Presidential Public Papers.

Discover:
This is interesting.  Again I typed South Africa and it brought up a number of articles.  I used the generic "South Africa" and the article could be translated into 30 different languages.  This would be useful to a literate person that struggles with English as a second language - provided he/she spoke one of the 30 included languages. 

The visual dictionary could be useful to schools more than public library in our little town.  (Our town is not ethnically diverse.)  I think it could be useful for students studying a foreign language or the curious mind.

2. Spanish language article audio - I'm not sure how it could be useful.
