The Alabama Virtual Library

The Alabama Virtual Library is an online website that has many resources. This website has many resources for teachers as well as students. It is just like a library but actually entered by going to its website. Teachers can access resources that are very useful to their classroom such as information on various topics in KidsInfoBits and TeacherToolBox.

The Alabama Virtual Library uses KidsInfoBits to separate different areas of study. Those areas are links that branch off to others that are related to them. For example, you can click on People, click on one of the related topics that popped up such as Political Leaders, then click on Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and her biography is shown.

This website will be very useful to me as an elementary school teacher. I viewed parts of the Alabama Virtual Library website such as the TeacherToolBox that gives teachers access to various materials. Some of the materials that were of interest to me were the web templates. These can be created and used so students can remember information. This helps very well when writing reports that deal with comprehension.
