STAFF RESOURCES

  • Hey Staff Members!  Thought I would begin collecting resources for all of us to use.  If you have resources that you would like me to add, please let me know. Perhaps this could also be a place to share favorite Apps or Lesson ideas??  

    Thanks so much - Hugs!
    PBS Learning Media - Video clips and lesson resources, searchable by Standards, Topic, or Grade Level.  There are also student resources and teacher tools (i.e. puzzle makers, storyboards).
     
    NEWSELA - This is a great resource for informational text articles!  You need to sign up for a free account, but it is well worth it!  All articles are listed by Grade Levels and Lexile Levels, and with one click that level can be adjusted.  Topics include, Science, Sports, Arts, Health, News, Kids.....etc.  HERE is an example of an elementary level article search.
     
    View Pure - EVERY online video clip should be used with View Pure.  It is an easy filter system that takes away comments, clutter, and advertising that often surround videos.  Using View Pure gives a clean, appropriate interface for every educational video you find on the internet.  
     
    Storyline Online - This is a terrific FREE literacy site!  This site is sponsored by the Screen Actors Guild and features videos of famous actors reading stories.  The story selection is changed often, and so are the featured readers.
