What was my biggest discovery? Hmmmmm! Everything was a big discovery for me, but maybe I can narrow it down. The fact that all the newspapers can be found online was very exciting because I have tried to get on some Maine newspapers website and was denied access because I wasn't a subscriber. I also looked at the entire ProQuest Newsstand publications and it is huge. It isn't something that I would use everyday, but it was exciting to discover that it will be there when I need it.
I also loved the Hobby and Craft section. Previous to this course, I had no idea that even existed. There were so many hobbies and things that I want to explore further; beading, woodworking, photography; I could go on and on.
And last, the health section. On the internet it is so easy to find unreliable sources, but if you look here, you know that you will find reliable information.
I have several ideas on how to share this information with my colleagues. Probably the easiest would be to post my discoveries, one at a time, on email so they can read about what I learned. You would think that teachers would at least know about Novelist, but they don't. I also plan on writing something for the schools' newsletter each month, so I can inform parents about these valuable resources.
Thank you for offering this course. It was fun and I learned a lot.
