AVL Demonstration Screencast

Click here to watch my screencast!

For my screencast, I focused on the kids info bits resource. I loved this resource. I actually do not use the AVL often because I am a Tennessee mathematics teacher. I do however teach social studies and science also which is where I found this resource to be very helpful. This resource would be great for elementary age students. There are pictures and tools to help the students find the information they are looking for. This website is separated into different categories and sub categories making research easy.  The advanced search tool is great because it is user friendly and easy to access. This website tells you content levels, lexile levels, and there is a read aloud option as well. I could easily use this tool to help with research projects in science or social studies. For example, students could research specific animal groups, types, or habitats for out end of the unit project.
