We use Questia & our kids love it. In fact, this year I acted as the
advisory for two IB extended essays and I would say at 30% - 40% of the
sources used were from Questia. We've taught the kids how to use all of
the tools available and how to organize their projects which has really
helped. Some of our teachers have the students print out their projects
page after spending a day in the lab or on the library floor so they can
see what the kids did that day and where their energy was being focused.
Also, many of our teachers use Questia for their own graduate work.
We do have subscribe to both High School Content and Achieve which may be
part of the reason for our success.
