Virtual Library

Virtual Library Review


It is amazing how well organized is this virtual library. Personally, I am very surprised about this. Of course, I had to explore it and be silly about it. I thought that I would get a scanned book through this site. After I realized how it works, I laughed at myself.

Anyway, in this site you can find any kind of information or almost every thing. If not you can make a "quick search" into the information and libraries site. There you can get a broad idea about how this site works. If you need more assistance you can go to the help desk. There you can ask for specific information that you know is relevant, but is not available (Personallly, I tried to ask but, it was more complicated that I thought because my email program was not set up). With this site you can feel more confident in looking to many sources. It is easy and fast.

If you become very familiar using this site, you can play will all this information to provide more options to your students to work with and be more informed letting them know how many things are there to learn. As a teacher counting with this kind tool would help a lot in setting our class dynamic using any kind of available sources that we can find here.

I went to the education section and it was super. I found, for example, diverse teaching methodologies, strategies: everything. It was amazing how much information you can get through this.

The challenge then, I found was that we need to be careful about how we manipulate this information. We need also be super-aware of how students will work without cheating.

I really think this site would help us enormously to become efficient teachers who are in vanguard of our field.

The best part of doing this research was when I got into the museum section. I just I loved it. For an instant, I felt that I was travelling around the world and visiting all these beautiful places. It was awesome. I highly recommend this part of the virtual library.
