Thing 11

Library & Reference

I downloaded the ELM app to my iPad. I chose to look up "wild rice" grown in Minnesota.

I chose to search by topic: Minnesota. I chose the Star Tribune for my database. I typed in my search term with quotation marks: "wild rice" Minnesota.  I chose to sort my results by "Publication date (most recent first). I noticed there were many articles recently about the pros and cons of wild rice co-existing with iron mining.

Pulling up ELM databases on the iPad is very easy. Easy to read, easy to navigate. It would certainly be a great benefit for students who have a mobile device to put the ELM app on it.
