Aloha2U Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Now that my little man is officially in secondary, I find myself wishing I hadn't given away our old 1980s World Book Encyclopedia set that I thought he'd never use. What are your secondaries using for research sources? Google? Wikipedia? World Book or Britannica encyclopedias—hardback, CDs, or online??? What works best for your learners?

Ethel Mertz Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Through our library, we use Britannica online for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 For most subjects, we just hit the library for non fiction books. We have a science encyclopedia and a couple of history encyclopedias plus lots of eyewitness type books on hand. And, yes, we are known to google a topic too. It's always good to find some .gov sites on the topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 We use Britannica online, World Books at the library. For online we try to stick to .edu and .gov sites. We also use periodicals available at the library or online for science. My kids have learned how to cite sources but sometimes they forgot how to.

Lawyer&Mom Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I bet it wouldn't be hard to find another set of World Books lying around somewhere. I can't be the only one who would love an excuse to get rid of one. (Only so I could have an exuse to buy a newer set of course! I'm a sucker for Encylopedias...)
