[LM_NET] TARGET: opinion of Answers.com

[Tracy Magin <ttmagin@YAHOO.COM>]

How do you all feel about Answers.com?  It seems to be a good resource when a 
student needs quick information about a topic.  I like that it gives suggestions as 
to the complete topic the child is looking for.  What do you think about the 
shopping section?  Should that be a problem during school? When would you recommend 
it and when would you not recommend it?  Would you call it a search engine or how 
would you describe it in just a few words to the students? I like the quick 
tutorial although I do not think it is complete enough and I plant to show the 
students more ways to use it. Thanks for your opinions and information about this 
new site.
