Swans now benefits from a truly fantastic
new digital resource called Britannica School.
You might have seen the old Encyclopaedia
Britannica sets – well, in this new information age, these have been updated
and much improved and now take the form of a huge, fully searchable database of
information, accessible from school and from home.
Research projects make up a significant
proportion of work set in any secondary school academic career, and there are
many hazards to relying on the internet to provide you with reliable sources of
information. This is why Britannica
School is a vital tool for students.
Search for the topic you are researching, and this database will show
you every article it has relating to your search, all of which have been verified
by experts.
But it gets even better - down the left
hand side of the page you will find a menu that takes you directly to journal
articles on your topic, related e-books and, best of all, a list of suggested
websites on which to continue your research.
All of these websites have been specially selected by educators as being
great sources of totally reliable information.
You can even create your own My Britannica
profile, on which you can save all your research in order to come back to it
later. You can also create references so
that you can cite all your sources, be fully academically honest and really impress your teachers with your skills. There are three levels of information so no
matter what your age there will be something to suit your needs.
