During our class library visit on Friday, we learned a couple of different things about the various resources available to us as Saint Peter's students. We learned about ERIC, which is the largest education database and is sponsored by the Education Department. This database could be a valuable tool for us as future educators because we will always need reliable resources to go to. We can use the database when planning lessons, researching books, articles, etc.
Another great tool we have access to is the eBooks on the EbscoHost database because eBooks are an up and coming technology that our children might be using in the classroom one day. I think teachers everywhere should find a way to incorporate the use of eBooks into their lessons and even into their classroom library.
Finally, something all Saint Peter's education majors could use is the access we have to Praxis practice exams. As college students, we don't have as much exposure to practice questions on the Praxis because there are many different kinds of Praxis exams for different teachers. All in all, I enjoyed our trip to the library because I gained some insight to a couple of resources that I can definitely use in the future.
