Homework & Research Help for Kids

Homework Tips

There are loads of resources to help you with your homework. Library databases have lots of useful information that’s not necessarily available through Google. Plus, you know you can trust this information. Many websites can also help you with your homework, but make sure you’re safe while surfing the Internet, that the websites you find are from reliable sources, and learn how to cite those sources.

 

Websites

Websites change all the time, so ask your librarian!

Internet Safety

  • MediaSmarts Games - Educational computer games that introduce kids to key ideas in media and digital literacy. These games are a great way to start a conversation on media issues in the home or classroom, and you can play most of them right here on our website.

Citing Sources: Writing a Bibliography

Writing a Bibliography
A Bibliography is a list of all the books, articles, websites, interviews or movies that you used to create your project or report. It’s important to give credit to the people whose work you used for your report. And it gives you, your teacher and anyone else who reads your report a chance to refer to those sources for more information. There are different ways you can do this and your teacher will tell you which they prefer (if they haven’t, just ask them).
