I chose to use Gale in Context: Middle School for my demonstration. I was automatically drawn to this website because it has Middle School in its title. Gale in Context: Middle School is very user friendly. It is easy to search for topics and locate different sources that are provided. Once you search a topic, you are given all of the search results in different boxes that are labeled by the different types of resource. I liked how this website included the Lexile Levels and word count of each resource. As a reading teacher, I like to assign articles on different levels to differentiate for my learners. I could easily use this resource in my classroom when teaching the 6th grade Informational Standards. The purpose of this website is to give resources and information to middle school students.
Gale in context seems like a great resource. Whats seems really good about it is that students don't have to search though a lot of other things to get to it. Also, its a good resource for any subject due to the fact that it has tons of topics. Most importantly it will allow you to incorporate Literacy into any subject area. In most math classes teachers act like its impossible to incorporate literacy but with this tool students could search for inventors and mathematicians. Thanks for sharing!
