[LM_NET] On-Line encyclopedia lesson plans

[Carol Van Brocklin <carolannvan@MOTIMAIL.COM>]

Good morning all:
          Although I have not been able to come up with the budget for  
an on-line encyclopedia subscription, I am going to try to use the  
free Britannica site with some of our students so that they can at  
least get the idea of how to use an on-line encyclopedia. I work with  
elementary school so I am not sure that they will be able to get much  
out of it, but  we do not have public libraries with on-line databases  
that we can try out using our public library card here,  there aren't  
that many options out there that I can think of.
          Does anyone have any really great lesson plans that they use  
as an introduction to on-line encyclopedias? I have plenty that I use  
with encyclopedias of the print version, but I am wondering if there  
isn't something that you professionals have used that have worked with  
this before that may work.

Thanks for any help that you can give me and have a Happy New Year  
everyone!
