Whitney Crowell: AVL Demonstration
As I was on AVL, I decided to explore a program that would be beneficial for my 5th grade students. Although each program was eye catching, the one that stood out was PebbleGo. This is a site my district uses however, I have not really investigated it and incorporated in my classroom. While exploring this program it provides kid friendly research database for students in grades K-3rd. PebbleGo added an extension called PebbleGo Next for grades 3-5 to provide additional curriculum to meet specific needs. Students are able to access videos, interactive games, listen to the reader, along with a glossary for defining words. It is a great resource if you want to break students into groups and have them investigate this database. As a teacher you are also able to assign projects and have students use this platform to cite information and provide fact on a particular time.
