An impression is made

Dr. Haim Ginott said “Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.” I think he meant ideas, activities, songs, words, actions not sticks or bricks.

Taking the concept that ideas, activities, songs and words do make an impression on a child like a solid object falling on wet cement - try out Britannica's Learning Zone.

It has been available to Public Library users of GALILEO in Georgia.

Today it is available to DTAE users of GALILEO.

This is great for our Early Childhood Education program. Those students now have a chance to explore this resource while studying about Human Growth and Development.

The description in GALILEO tells a lot....Britannica Learning Zone is designed specifically for young learners. Students will find engaging and developmentally-appropriate activities including an interactive atlas, learning games, engaging audio and video, and effective vocabulary builders. The Britannica Learning Zone teaches concepts such as geography, time, shapes, numbers, and reinforces relevant vocabulary, all in a fun and safe online environment. There is also an area where students can demonstrate their creativity and practice what they've learned.


You get the current password to use GALILEO from home from your Georgia Librarian.
