Alexander Hamilton High School Library

 Do you know what an encyclopedia is?  Most teenagers don't know what it is or how to use it, so April's technology spotlight is a digital encyclopedia called Britannica High School.    An encyclopedia is a set of articles about many different topics. They're used for research and general information. Britannica High School digital encyclopedia is a great collection of photos, articles, news issues and interesting topics to explore for fun or research.  Check it out here:  https://school.eb.com/levels/high If you're at home, the login is mpsstudent/mpsstudent.
