This week, Britannica Digital Learning is proud to introduce Britannica School, a new online service that we believe will have a major impact on schools in the United States and around the world.
Britannica School?provides a robust online solution for the knowledge and information needs of teachers and students at school and at home. It?s a product designed with the classroom in mind but with the understanding that the work of the classroom continues outside its walls?at home, on the school bus?anywhere homework is done, lessons prepared, and school projects completed. It?s designed for a wide range of purposes?lessons and lesson planning, homework assignments, class projects, research, and browsing?making it one of the most versatile digital assets for students and teachers today.
Britannica School delivers a number of specific services and benefits:
? With content for all grades, it?s designed for students to move to higher or lower reading and competency levels easily, according to their needs. This helps teachers conduct individualized, differentiated instruction, an important need in schools today.
? Britannica School has been developed to work superbly on any digital device, be it a computer, smartphone, or tablet. This is a boon to schools as they use more and more mobile devices and kids bring their own devices to school.

? It provides a wealth of high-quality, reliable, up-to-date, non-fiction texts that help meet the language arts requirements of the new U.S. Common Core standards, including reading in science, history, social studies, and other technical subject areas.
? It delivers a wide variety of resources for homework help, student research, and projects, including primary sources, magazines and journals, and editor-selected websites.
Britannica School arrives at a time of rapid change in education, change that Britannica is both highly attuned to and helping to lead. The traditional textbook is no longer sufficient for the needs of the 21st-century learner. The future of teaching and learning will require innovative digital solutions that make the most of new technologies. Britannica School is one of these solutions, and we have a host of others, including such innovative products as Pathways: Science, Image Quest, and Britannica SmartMath.
Earlier this year we announced the end of the 32-volume Encyclopaedia Britannica print set, an iconic product with which we have been identified for 244 years. People frequently ask me: What does Britannica do now that you no longer publish the print set? The answer: We have gone beyond reference and encyclopedias and become a major provider of digital solutions for teaching and learning in schools. It?s the culmination of a path that we have been on for almost 20 years, when we published our first online product.
Rest assured, however: we still have the Encyclopaedia Britannica in a multitude of digital forms?the newest being a sleek and elegant app for Windows 8. The Britannica is still the distinguished and reliable work it has always been?written by experts and scholars and edited by a talented team of specialists?but it is now much larger, and it is revised continuously to stay up to date.
Please check us out. We have gone beyond the company you probably think we are. We look forward to exceeding your expectations.
