Software Review: Learning.com


Web Browsing: Research and Citing Sources Grades 6-8

Self-Review:

First of all, I have found that learning.com is a very useful tool. However, as far as new information that I have learned from the site, there is not much. I am already pretty efficient when it comes to web browsing so I am not the target person for this lesson. A 6-8 grader however would learn a lot from this tutorial. Research and citing sources is a huge part of higher education, both high school and especially the college level. Therefore, lessons like this one are extremely important for young 6-8 graders to learn early in their education.
