As CCSS require more use of Expository text, these tools allow for you to choose and upload content or use the already created content to empower students to learn and explore reading in a collaborative and interactive fashion through online tools.

The most awesome sight for reading, exploring vocabulary, engaging students in content they are interested in, and allowing for higher level thinking. "We believe today's wonder of the day will make you smile!"
Curriculet - Web
A great site that allows you to chose literature already uploaded or you can upload articles for students to explore. Add videos, questions and discussion about the articles and books.

The app that allows you to upload text and have students interact through questions and discussion. There is an option to pay for the CCSS and more options for interactions.
Research and Creative Commons
It is so important for our students to learn about how to cite sources, choose items that are not copyrighted and learn to research to find credible sources. Here are some sites to get you started on research and copyright. Watch the video from Mrs. Yollis' Classroom about how students felt when someone else got credit for their work.
