In Simsbury we also use Lincloln Library's FactCite. Very strong biography coverage and FactCite123 is great for primary grades. The annual subscription rate is also very reasonable.

Thanks,

Jamie

At the CASL Conference this year I looked at HiveClass.  
I asked our district lead for Health/PE to review it so me might possibly use it.  
Never got an answer form him despite many tries (UGH)
I thought this was an awesome resource.
Here is their link, https://www.hiveclass.co/ , to check out.  Would love to know your thoughts.

Yes Sarah - I was just looking at the sports database yesterday. I struggle to get current sports bio books and I think this would be awesome.

Here to say Pebble Go and Pebble Go Next are excellent resources. I would also like, but we don't have the Rosen elementary science databases. You can see them here. https://rosendigital.com/

The other one I wish I had is Lerner's sports database. https://lernersports.com/

Hi Rachel - 

At my PreK-2 school, we cannot live without PebbleGo. It is worth every penny. 
For 3-5, PebbleGo Next is terrific.
We do also have BrainPop and BrainPop Jr.

We also use Epic. 

We have used Britannica and Worldbook online, but we just didn't get enough use out of them so we decided to stick with PebbleGo to keep it simple.

Hi everyone, I am at a pre-k-5th grade school looking to add research databases for the first time. I have very little experience using a few, but am looking for any feedback or recommendations on what other schools use for elementary. Thanks!
