Wrap up!

What was my biggest discovery?
Throughout the process I made many discoveries.  I really liked the World Book resources that would for sure be useful to my elementary aged patrons.  There were many resources that I will definitely go back and look at more, for my own personal knowledge and to share with the teachers I work with.
I guess I would have to say the the biggest discovery was that all this is available.  I had no idea there was all this information accessible to us and that it was this easy to access and use.   Diving in to these and actually searching subjects and finding information really got me excited about using some of these valuable resources.
I have already started promoting many of these resources within my building.  As I would find options that would be useful to different teachers or met student needs, I would share what I learned and encourage them to use the resource.  I had a class of 1st grade in here using World Book just a couple of weeks ago.  I will continue to familiarize my self with these resources and hopefully be able to share them with the staff here in a broader way.  Perhaps introducing them at staff meeting in brief presentations that perk their interest in these resources.  I will also be sharing information with my own family members who would benefit from many of the resources that I delved into.
This was a fun experience and one I hope to make the most of.
