From August 30-September 5 each 8th grade Georgia Studies class came in for a lesson on web resources in GALILEO. Students were provided with a handout of the sites. Each site was demonstrated so students could see what type of resources they contained, how they could be searched and navigated, and how they would be relevant to their studies this year. After the demonstration students were given time on the netbooks to explore the sites on their own.
