PebbleGo is an educational database designed specifically for K–3 students, offering engaging, age-appropriate informational texts across subjects such as science, social studies, biographies, animals, and health. Its focus is on building foundational research and reading skills through interactive articles, audio supports, and multimedia features tailored to young learners. PebbleGo promotes independent exploration and supports early literacy development with read-aloud functionality and built-in scaffolding. In my current or future role as an elementary teacher or school librarian, I could use PebbleGo to support a research project on animals, where students select an animal, read the article, take notes using a graphic organizer, and then present their findings to the class.
Fantastic work! I really appreciated how clear and concise you were throughout the presentation, it made your points easy to follow and very engaging. I also think the resource you chose is an excellent use of the Alabama Virtual Library, and I really like the activities you suggested that can be used with the articles. Even though you mentioned it’s geared toward elementary students, I think it could also work well in middle school to engage students who have lower Lexiles. Your enthusiasm really brought everything together. Great job!
