Welcome to the New Teachers' Corner

The Teacher's Corner has been updated. My goal is to provide you with a place where I can give you the latest information on what is happening in the library. I hope that you will find this web page easy to navigate and informative. Here you will find information on the latest additions to the library collection. In addition, you will find such aids as Web links, Hotlinks, Web Quests, and much more, all easily located in one spot.

Quia

A new addition to our library subscriptions is Quia. Password and login name is available in the library. Quia provides teachers with a place where they can create their own educational games, quizzes, and surveys. Quia. This is a wonderful resource to be used on our SmartBoards.

BrainPop

BrainPop provides hundreds of animated movies according to national standards for K-8 students. Each movie is accompanied by a 10 question interactive quiz, comic strip, timeline, and printable activity page.

I received positive feedback from several teachers after they tried out the trial subscription to BrainPop last spring. The library now has a subscription to this service. The contract allows for the school to access the BrainPop web site 35 times in one day. In other words, each time a teacher logs onto the site, it is counted as an access. Passcodes will be provided to all teachers. For more information check out the teachers' information at BrainPop. In addition, we have this year added BrainPop, Jr. for our lower school students and teachers. BrainPop, Jr. It's a great resource for our SmartBoards and the students love Annie and Moby!

ETV Streamline SC

A wonderful resource is ETV Streamline SC. Formerly available only by satellite television, ETV now provides its catalog of video resources through Internet web streaming. Hundreds of ETV educational productions and State Department of Education approved K-12 programs and Discovery Education's digital library of more than 30,000 video clips are available for free. Videos are correlated to SC State K-12 curriculum. These videos may be downloaded to the school's server and burned to a CD. Copyright permits the school to keep dowloaded/ burned CDs for 5 years. For more information, visit ETV Streamline SC.
