Databases support your researchRRISD subscribes to many valuable databases that support learning at each grade level. A database is a collection of information like articles, images, videos, definitions, etc...
A few big advantages of databases are that they can be shared by everyone, accessed at home, and searched in many different ways, but one of the biggest perks is that the information is the most current source! Students can use these very easily from school, but need a password from home. Please contact the librarian if you would like these passwords. I will also be happy to show you the databases if you request that we meet. |
