GALILEO: Up-to-Date Information for Students of All Ages

Barbara Powell-Schager, a media specialist at Big Shanty Intermediate School in Cobb County School District, tells us, “GALILEO is an incredible resource that provides up-to-date information to students of all ages. As the media specialist in an intermediate school (grades 3-5), I constantly refer our teachers and students to its one-of-a-kind in-depth resources on Georgia’s history, geography, animals and habitats. It’s other broader content areas are tremendously useful, too! For example, Britannica for Kids Online is the best encyclopedia for children I have ever seen! It is well researched and well written. Has audio for those children who need that assistance. In addition, GALILEO’s wealth of information for teachers and advanced learners is unparalleled. GALILEO put Georgia first in the nation in providing online database resources to its citizens well over a decade ago…and it continues to be an amazing and valued resource today.”

Thank you, Barbara, for sharing GALILEO with your students and teachers.
