Everyone:
This is just a reminder that EBSCO is offering two webinars of interest to school media specialists:
1. Integrating iCONN EBSCO Resources with Common Core on November 17th @ 11:00 a.m.
In this 1 hour session, EBSCO will provide a brief overview of the Common Core Curriculum Standards, and examine how various EBSCO resources provided by iCONN can help you implement those standards. Topics will include: locating appropriate materials for students of various reading levels and learning styles; fulfilling requirements for research using electronic media, primary, and secondary sources; integrating charts and graphs; and specific interface features such as searching by Lexile level and Text-to-Speech. We will also review ways that you can use iCONN EBSCO resources in preparing lesson plans and citing Common Core standards.
