Does anyone have any experience with any of the titles in Classroom
Connects' Social Studies or Science Hotlinks programs?  As I understand it,
you buy a book ($29) that lists links to selected/appropriate sites to a
particular subject such as explorers, volcanoes, etc.  However, you need to
pay over $500 if a building site license is needed to access these
preselected sites [I'm assuming a password is needed?].  Our computer
technology specialist came to me wanting to know if our library budget would
buy the "books" and is considering using her software budget to purchase the
site licenses. The individual topics covered would be used in our 4th and
5th grade curriculums.  It seems like a lot of money to have access to sites
that should be free--are we really paying for someone to trim down the
number of possible sites to a more manageable/appropriate number?
