[CASL-L] EBSCO Exlpora

[Angela Antonelli]

Hi Jess,
 
Unlike Searchasaurus, the Lexile level for Explora goes up to 1500.  As a result, elementary school students can end up with a lot of high-level content that they need to sift through. I'd suggest showing students how to use filters to select recommended Lexile levels.
 
I hope this helps!

Good afternoon,
My colleague and I are trying to determine what databases via the state are available to us for free and would be suitable for our K-5 students. After looking into EBSCO, I saw that there is something new called Explora which took the place of search a saurus. Does anyone have experience with this? We'd appreciate any input!
Thanks,
