This week a teacher suggested that I highlight Tech Integration information available. In addition to links found on the Digital Learning Day Site that Vera and I have worked on this year. http://www.marshall.k12.mn.us/Page/2570 Consider checking out Vera's Technology Integration pages found under the Staff Information Page. http://www.marshall.k12.mn.us/Page/2425
I use ELM databases to teach students what this wonderful resource is and how/why to use it. If you are not familiar with ELM, it provides Minnesota residents online access to magazine, journal, newspaper, and encyclopedia articles, eBooks (online books), and other information resources. It offers information on a vast array of topics, including consumer information, arts and humanities, current events, health, science, social science, politics, business, and more. Why use ELM?
- Convenient - ELM is your source for information, at your fingertips.
- Thorough - ELM resources are loaded with thousands of encyclopedia, magazine, journal, and newspaper articles, plus multimedia, primary sources and more.
- Accurate - Pinpoint information you want. No more wading through thousands of internet search engine results hoping what you are finding is what you want.
- Accessible - ELM is available online 24/7.
- Reliable - Information is from reputable and respected sources. You no longer need to wonder if what you are looking at is quality information.
If you are interested in learning more about ELM resources you may attend upcoming face-to-face trainings or check out the Ongoing Webinar Series as mentioned below. As always, I am available to meet with you individually to show you how you can use ELM resources for your classes K-12.
SAMMIE is pleased to
announce four separate ELM trainings will be coming to our region
in May. Mark your calendars for these dates:
