I chose the World Book School Edition since I'm a librarian at our school.
I chose the manatee for the Kid's and the Student's editions. In the kid's edition, the material is much simpler and shorter than with the student's edition but that's good for K-5 students. It's laid out very well with bright colors for that age level. The student's edition has much more material which is great for students at the gr. 5-9 level. They even have nice videos to go along with the item that you're researching. The students can save their material to "My Research" if they wish to as they proceed throughout their research.
In the World Book Advanced, I chose Afghanistan since my son is over there (and coming home at the end of this month!) I like the "In the News" feature on this site. It's up-to-date which is very nice. Items that will be most useful for my students, are the primary sources, encyclopedia articles (there's a lot of nice articles), E books possibly, Related Information and the Hear Text Read Aloud feature. These would be very useful features.
For the World Book Discover, if a student is not good at reading English, they can translate to other languages. So this would be extremely useful as it translates into 30 different languages. It also has a text to speech feature so the students can hear text read aloud.
Hi, tee, thanks for taking a look at the World Book School edition. All the World Book modules have the translation and read aloud feature, so your patrons are covered wherever they go! I hope you can find ways to use this with your students.
