Updates to the website: Digital classroom collection

Happy Tech Tuesday!  Students and teachers have access to several digital classroom resources, including a variety of applications from World Book and Gale.  Our collection is found at this link: http://www.sd28.bc.ca/content/student-resources

From my website, the digital classroom resources are found in a variety of subject areas.  Media Smarts for example talks about Digital Literacy and Citizenship and fits best in "Health & PE"   New this year are two à la carte items from BC ERAC Digital Classroom: Learn 360 and Curio.  Learn 360 has many video and lesson plan supports.  Consider a better option to search for videos than the Discovery Learning subscription that our district used to have!

Curio has Canadian content material, including documentaries and news in English or French.  It is an excellent source for Aboriginal content resources.

We also have access to myBlueprint and AllAboutMe Career Ed resources, including a digital portfolio for students to explore career options and interests.  Let me know if you'd like to learn more about this resource, available from the Career Ed page.

Note also that I've added a page for "News" to include kid-friendly news sites.  BC ERAC Digital Classroom resources are found from the Interdisciplinary page of my website for easy access.  All digital resources (with the exception of Learn360) should work from any school site.  Home access is possible with a username and password that I can share with you.

I'll do my best to post new blog entries on "Techno Tuesdays."
