HIT> Networkable CDROM titles For ELEM

[Lorna Joy McCloud <lmccloud@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

Well, I didn't get as many answers as I had hoped
for--obviously, not that many Elementary schools have networked
CD ROM towers yet!

Thanks to the following people for sending their
recommendations from Germany, Texas, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
and Nebraska!

Here are the findings:

World Book Info Finder - 5
Sirs - 4
Encarta - 1
Musical Instruments - 1
Magic Schoolbus - 1
Dinosaurs - 1
Microsoft anything!
Ebsco Primary Search - 1

I am planning on getting World Book Info Finder, as well as a
good atlas and dictionary (if I can find a good, networkable
one of each).  I also want to put on the Student Writing and
Publishing Center for WIN (I think that's the title...) for
grades 3-5.

Later, as we get more computers in the classrooms, I will want
a publishing program for younger students, and hope to find a
younger age networkable CD encyclopedia (am checking into one
that I heard about...)

Of course, all this depends on my principal's funding...but she
is gung ho!

Any more suggestions...please write me!
Thanks,
