2019 January

  • BOCES II overview of educational databases
  • Tech sign out sheet development on Drive
  • Book Festival planning & Meeting with Residential

This month I started utilizing SORA in a primary class. Since we are expanding our OverDrive contract to cover all schools, I thought it would be a good idea to start to pilot it’s use in a classroom. The platform worked really well. I highlighted important vocabulary words in the book prior to reading the book in the classroom. I found this very helpful in reminding me to stop at certain areas and check for understanding and reinforce vocabulary. 

This month I also finalized the educational resource list and distributed it to all staff. This list provides educational staff with an annotated list of high quality, freely available educational resources. This list was necessary as we are dropping our subscription of Discovery Ed.
