Encyclopediae

On the 23rd February we learned about the Encyclopediae. We browsed through http://www.britannica.com/.
On its homepage, at the top we have seven folders and on the left we can see seven seccions:
History & Society, Arts & Entertainment, Travel and Geography, Science and Technology, Featured video, Britannica Blog and Advocacy for Animals.
Then we have a seccion with Research Tools where we can:
Browse, Compare countries, World Atlas, World Data Analyst.
In the browse section we can scan through encyclopaedic contents and other content sourses.
Finally at the bottom we have a Spotlights section where we find Special features from the encyclopedia.
On the right we have a free 3o day trial Britannica online for kids and a seccion of selected New & revival  Articles.
The Media Gallery section is very interesting.
We also browsed through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.
The wikipaedia is boring, good for outside class activities but not for indoor activities  and it's not reliable.
The Canadian Encyclopedia http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=HomePage &Params=A1
