Q and A NJ
A network of libraries that offer free, live reference service over the Web,
24/7!
This really works when help is needed for students or adults. When you start
a session, a librarian will chat with you and lead you to websites to solve
your problem.
If you would like a guide-by-your-side for your first attempt to connect,
contact Mrs. Turner.

SCIENCE & SOCIAL STUDIES MULTIMEDIA ONLINE!
Link below to an interactive/multimedia website "Teacher Domain," produced
by
WGBH Boston (public television). Mr. Bruno recommends this website to
access
video clips, images and interactive diagrams.
It requires a quick registration: just your name, school, and your grade
level. You need to login in with your password and sign-in name (very
easy). As with every video/image we show students, be sure to preview.
Looks like they are starting to expand to include history-related topics. A
Civil Rights multimedia collection is also available.
