 Welcome back to a new school year! This month's webinar is going to be about the digital resources available to you from ESU-8. These are not new resources but they have some new features and so I want to show those to you now. You can access these resources from the ESU-8 homepage just www.esu8.org. We're going to scroll down underneath the picture of our building to the DL and media resources. We're going to start by going to snap. If you do not know your username and password, check with your local librarian or you can call the ESU here. When you're in snap, if you search right here from the first search bar, you will be searching all of these products along with any tangible items we would have in our media center. But I went to go into two specific products today so we're going to go right into Learn360. Learn360 is our video on demand or video streaming service that we provide to our schools. They have just recently updated their website and changed the look of things. You'll see this is new and if you know you're looking for a video, I would start there. They have some interactive, some printables, audio files only, and maps and flags. So I can go ahead and search right here if I'm looking for a topic. Alright, here is a 48-minute video on the moon. So I'm going to look at that one. What I wanted to show you, one of the features they have, is this program is broken into segments. I don't have to look through the whole 48 or show the whole 48. I can just choose a segment to show. Also, I can create my own custom segments using this scissors here and I can assign this video to my students through Google Classroom if I use that and working on also getting Canvas link up here too. But I have got this working that your students, if they're signed into your Google Classroom, they should not have to sign into Snap or Learn360. They should be able to access the videos. So I could just click here and assign it to one of my classes in Google Classroom, providing I'm logged in. Great features there. I also want to show you on the advanced search. Looks a little bit different. It's pretty well cleaned up. So you just have to click to continue finding what you're looking for. So I'm looking for videos and if I look over here under all grades they also have a professional development library and so that might be something that we could use ourselves or as administrators might use for their teachers. A lot of great features in Learn360 and I hope that you take advantage and use those videos. The nice thing is there is not the advertisement or the playback or the next video up that you get in YouTube and everything has been vetted for educational purposes. The other feature I want to show you or the other resource is Worldbook. Worldbook has done some updating this summer also. Their early learning, the early world of learning has changed so when you go to it it looks a little bit different. They have taken out all flash so it will work on an iPad. It doesn't have an app. You would have to access it through your browser but you can make it a home screen app from the browser and then it would just be a tap that the students would have to tap on. So the nice thing about the Worldbook early learning, everything is spoken that they hover over and so if I would go to the stories and I push here so it reads to them and it highlights. I like that. I think it highlights too fast but that's not a feature that I can change so it'll read to them. There's activities that go with it, games that go with it. There's nonfiction reading, there's stories under the educator tab or up here for grown-ups. It will give you more information. It'll tell you the skills that each book is working on and those kind of things. A couple other things that they have changed. The ebooks, they have added a greater selection to the ebooks module here and I see that the Spanish modules have been updated too. From what I gather the two Spanish modules are just your student and your advanced Worldbook encyclopedia that can be accessed in Spanish. So those are just a couple of the features that are in our digital resource library. There's all of these others too if you're interested in them. If you have any questions or you would like someone to come out and show your teachers all the ins and outs of these digital resources, please let Molly Ashof know at ESU 8 and we would love to come and get your teachers using this.
