Thing 13 Subscription Databases


(Kaiseki, Japanese style food)


I studied the databases that school districts offer and the Minneapolis Library offer. My students collected information using the databases such as ABC CLIO and Grolier Online to do research on Japan. I just finished teaching the first trimester and I asked the students. "Tell me the hardest thing you did in my class." Some said the research project, which was done by using the databases. (“And No Googling.") Interesting. I thought students shoud have learned this in social study class or English class long time ago. I don't usually assign students a research project in English. So I learned a lot from this experience, too.
