My Britannica
Recently, Britannica added the ability to add your own content in addition to the Britannica resources you can save and organize. Britannica has also made it easier to convert that content to a lesson plan. Any of your saved content can be easily shared with others by simply providing a URL. For example, if you wanted to see the content I've saved related to Native Americans, you could simply click on this shared link: http://eb.com/31654
If you have questions about creating an account, please feel free to contact me.
