The Britannica High School database is a user-friendly option for students that can make the research easier for them to navigate. After going through and exploring the database, I determined that it provides students with many options to help them in their research ventures. Students have the opportunity to search for different topics and receive results just like any other database, based on articles, magazines, books, videos, and images. When going through these different resources that are provided students have a taskbar that helps them navigate through there is a reading level changer at the top that has three reading levels there is a translation button that translates all information two different languages there are different buttons that help students sort through the different types of resources that are available and there is a very visually pleasing aesthetic to the site that helps students be less intimidated by the amount of information being presented. One of the cool parts of Britannica is that it provides a tab for students to help and assist them; no matter where they are in their research process, they can start in the beginning stages, or they can be assisted later in their process as well by clicking a button. Teachers also have resources for Britannica as well as which gives options to help navigate through the site, as well as lesson plans and professional development opportunities through the site. I believe Britannica provides an important resource that teachers and students alike can gravitate towards without intimidation and a comfort level with research projects.
