The resource I used is PebbleGo. PebbleGo is a resource with thousands of articles, activities, and videos created for K-3 students. It offers kid-friendly information in six different areas: Animals, Biographies, Health, Science, Social Studies, and Dinosaurs. The site offers support for nonreaders by providing voice over annotations and audio text. I could use this resource in my 2nd grade classroom to support my students with informational text and also for research projects. The content maps provided in the educator resources would be very beneficial when assigning topics to my students.
Hi Brandace,
ReplyDeleteI think that PebbleGO is a great resource and the kids absolutely love to use it. I use this a lot during Science time. It helps to bring somethings to life for students that aren't expose as much as others. I like the fact that you use it to support your informational text as well as a way to have the students research different things.
Brandace,
ReplyDeleteI think that this resource would be perfect for my beginner to intermediate ESL students. Even though some of them are high school students and university students, their English reading level is at an elementary level. I especially like how when you put the mouse on certain words it pronounces the words for you in an American accent. This is the exact kind of website and resource I need for those beginner students so that they are not just memorizing big blocks of vocabulary words in order to pass a test.
