I really like the World Book kids. The font and web page is very easy to navigate. I believe kids will be able to use it without problems. The information is short and to the point and is at the level early elementary can comprehend. Looking for mammals is easy with a point and click. I will use this site for students who will be doing research for a non-fiction report.
The student world book has more information and would give upper elementary a good start on researching non-fiction materials. I might even introduce this to the younger, higher readers.
The World book Advanced and Discover is geared toward older students and and would give them a good resource to get indepth information to their topic of choice. I would use it to retrieve information to incorporate into a lesson plan. If students want to learn about a specific area, the computer allows a "read aloud" and helps struggling readers or students who want to hear and read along. Teachers would benefit with these sites to pull data into lessons they do for Social studies.
