IConn

IConn allows its users to obtain an endless amount of information from various types of periodicals and databases. Due to the fact that this website is free and available to anyone, it ensures that it will be used and will be helpful. IConn can ensure digital equity in Connecticut because it is available to the entire state, not just school systems or a certain type of person. It is available on your home computer, which means that people will not have to use it at school or in a public library. That type of access is extremely beneficial. This program will allow users to get a lot of information on millions of topics.I found Kids InfoBits to be a great tool for children who are looking for information/articles on a specific topic. It is kid friendly to use and looks kid friendly, too! I feel that children will feel comfortable using it and will not feel overwhelmed by the way it appears. Student Edition seems to be more for the older grades, but has the same concept. I think that all of these databases are of great benefit to all users. I definitely think that I will use these databases in the future for myself, as well as for the students that I work with and will work with. It is a great way to use technology to obtain information in a somewhat fun manner.
