The AVL database I chose to explore during my demonstration was the EBSCO Consumer Health Complete resource. This database proved to be very helpful, offering a wealth of information on various health topics, including mental health, food and nutrition, substance abuse, conditions and diseases, and drug abuse. The focus on health-related issues would prove to be extremely helpful to middle school and high school health teachers.
This database provides a range of information, including articles on health and wellness, as well as e-books on various health topics. It also features a range of videos on selected health topics. There is also a link to over 800 medical fact sheets and pamphlets for general wellness tips and frequently asked questions. I could utilize this resource in my Health classes, as we cover a majority of these subjects. This database could help my students with their research and provide important information and tips on the subjects we cover in class.
Hello Lin, I enjoyed your presentation of the Consumer Health database within the Alabama Virtual Library. First, it really stood out to me that this resource offers articles, e-books, and related topics for the content you are searching. For example, depression was defined, several readings were available, and there was access to very useful material for educators to use with students. Next, I found it interesting and genius that there were also videos related to depression. Sometimes learners need a visual to connect to the information being given, and I went back and watched the two of the videos related to depression. Last, I found your presentation to be informative and helpful. It piqued my interest to explore further, and I have brainstormed some ways I can connect my resource Novels for Students to elements found on the Consumer Health database. I am not a Health or Science teacher, but I can use this source to add sidebar discussions about important health, mental health, and social emotional learning issues. Thank you for sharing!
