As the name implies this is World book taken to the next level. Upon opening the site you will find an abundance of information, organized neatly so the researcher can easily click the links. Depending on what the researcher wishes to do, there is access to dictionary, atlas, world newspapers, today in history etc. This home page is one that easily could be used daily. This site is valuable for topical research as well. For example, our language arts classes are reading a book about the Vietnam War. The students will be making timelines of certain events. On the left side of the home page is a timeline maker. After research, students simply insert dates and events and the timeline maker does the rest. If a student signs in to World Book (creates an account) these timelines can be saved. Our geography classes research various countries and the links on the left of a particular country provide information such as maps, primary sources, pictures, videos which all can be used to enhance a country report.
World Book Advanced provides so much information and "how-to's" that a researcher could visit this site often and not find it all. A great place to begin research.

Thanks, Denise! I am excited to hear how you can use World Book Advanced. In order to create Timelines, you must be logged into "My Research." You can even import photos to your timelines! Hope this is a learning tool your faculty and students enjoy.
