The resource that I chose for this Screencast is Explora for High Schools by EBSCO. The resource primarily focuses on high school content areas. This database gives students a variety of choices to research based upon the area of content they are exploring. It offers full text documents, infographics, journal articles, and much more depending upon the content that is being researched. In the context of a high school Geometry with Data Analysis course that I currently teach, I believe this resource would be beneficial for students as they are proving theorems and applications in real world fields as well as finding statistical data or representations of data.
Lauren, As an upper level science teacher, I appreciate the resource that you chose. I could definitely see this resource being useful for my students having to find articles to support their research on specific topics. I liked that you showed how to refine the search and that you showed what an artifact from this resource might look like. I think it could also been beneficial to show where students can use the cite button to cite their proofs in your geometry class.
