Today I was working with my daughter and her friends on a Fermi math problem. We were looking for info about Bastille Day. Here's the link. I did have to make quite a few clicks and enter my bar code to get here. For young kids researching something in the classroom, I'd get as far in as I could, then bookmark the site and let them make the last couple clicks according to their subject, otherwise it might be too complicated.

Thing 17 - ELM
Wow! What a resource. The piece I find so interesting is that this tool is available to everyone! This has amazing implications for education, obviously, but I'm thinking a little more big picture and feeling so grateful that any body in our state can walk into a public library and have access to anything from consumer info to geneology and can research any topic they can think of.
