2nd week learning

This is a lesson in how it feels to be the person at the computer who is so frustrated that they just want to give up.  I had trouble getting to the Britannica Public Library Edition and also to my blog.  When I hit "guide" I got a MSL page, but nothing specific about Britannica.
     So, finally I found the nica Public Library Edition, and the guide. It finally showed up, and I do not know why it wouldn't at first.  I typed in Libya, and found articles from the past 10 years.  Then I went down to the NYTimes articles and typed on one of those and then when I got to that article, I typed Libya into their search box and found an article from Sept. 12th.  Then I went to "newer" articles and found one from today.
    Then I went to the Research Tools and looked at a map of Cape Verde and all the features you can see with it.  Then I looked for articles about Cape Verde and its population, which is what I had been wondering about and found some answers.  I looked at This Day in History, which might be useful for some After School projects, or Facebook notes.
   I have been here for over an hour and I think that's all the homework I can do right now.
Signing off,
