SIRS

I looked up kangaroo again on SIRS. The key lets me know the reading level and the top tab bar took me to an Australian newspaper about farmers raising kangaroos. Having the page read to you is a bonus. Sometimes hearing the words makes the learning stick to your memory better.
My country was Ukraine, picked because our past exchange daughter is from there. Finding easy, moderate, and challenging info for teachers is neat and fun to play with. It is an easy way to work up to lots of knowledge.
I went to "Maps of the World" and picked US Historical. There are 1000 pictures starting at the year 1000. I went to the 1775 map of Boston and the battle lines of the British and Americans were marked so you could easily follow the old battles. I then tried "Current Events" and read about the egg recall with links to related sites. Research could get extensive.
SIRS Researcher had a top 10 list and I chose oil well drilling. Wow, articles with the pros and cons are in the center (without having to look up each magazine), old video of news stories and overview with the research tools on the left. I had to quit reading both sides to continue with the lesson. But...I had the most fun on basketmath interactive! No matter what type of math problem you pick, your right answer is two baskets. Again I had to quit playing to go on to lesson 3.
