The IConn website is very cool! I had never heard of it before and I am certain that I will use it often in my future studies and career as a teacher. It is so wonderful that it gives access to all sorts of articles and book and databases. I think that in regards to the digital divide this website helps to close the gap. It is free to all Connecticut residents! Earlier in the semester we learned about how much a divide there is in different socioeconomic classes and their access to technology and resources. This service is FREE. It has so many great articles and databases. I think that as an educator even after my schooling is finished is will be absolutely crucial for me to stay up to date with current issues and topics and this website will be incredibly useful in accessing this.
One database I thought was great was the Junior World Encyclopedia, which would be a wonderful tool for young students to use! The Kids Info Bits also looks like a great place for younger students to learn and get information from. All of the articles and databases are great and I will be sure to use this a great deal!
