It is great to learn about new tools that can be used. ICONN is a tool that I have never heard of or used and found that it would be helpful for me to use as a teacher. Instead of researching articles or books, it is an easy tool to use to do the work for you. It is also great that it is free. There are many great websites for teachers to use but they ask you to pay for them. As a teacher, I am turned off when I am asked for my credit card. Teachers pay for so much to go into their classroom, subscribing to a website is one more thing that we should not have to pay for. As a teacher, we should be up to do date on current events to discuss with students and ICONN is great for current topics.
Junior Worldmark Encyclopedias are great for students and they are simple for students to understand. There are a lot of articles on science and literature with great visuals for students. It is easy for students to Google information however websites that do not apply to their search often pop up. Allowing students to use Encyclopedias for information is fun and safe for everyone. I will use this in my classroom for students to research information or just because they want to!
