Britannica School and ImageQuest now available!

We are so excited to present to you our newest resources, Britannica School, and Imagequest!  These two databases open a whole world of information for all CIS students, and can be accessed at school and at home, from any of your devices. Watch the following video for a tour of Britannica:

Over the next few weeks, all of the school's computers will have direct links to Britannica.  You can use the links on our databases page or on the CIS website to access it from home or a personal device. The password can be obtained from your teacher or from us here in the library. After signing on for the first time on any device, you will not have to log on again to the site.

However, if you wish to save articles and images as favourites, you do need to create you own "My Britannica" account.

If you have any questions about Britannica school or ImageQuest, please come and see us in the library. we'd be happy to help you!




Cheers,
Ms. Susan and Ms. Maggie










 

300+ Mind Expanding Documentaries

Mr. Ryan just came across this collection of documentaries related to a wide range of subjects, and we thought it was worthwhile sharing it with you.

"On this list of mind expanding documentaries you will find different viewpoints, controversial opinions and even contradictory ideas. Critical thinking is recommended. " -Social Consciousness

There is a wide array of videos on topics ranging from Ancient Civilization to the Digital Revolution, with  politics, science, arts and literature sandwiched in between.

A permanent link has been created on the Homework Help page of this blog.

We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful, free, resource.


Cheers,
Ms. Susan and Ms. Maggie
