Three (Hopefully) Helpful Links
Starfall
http://starfall.com We have a starfall account and students can log in at school or at home with the user name starfall@rhmail.org and password Eagles. You can add the starfall site to launchpad by using the add app button at the top of the launchpad screen. If you have any questions about how to do that, just let me know!
SC Discus
http://scdiscus.org is an amazing resource that is free for all residents of SC. For elementary, click the main link, then Discus Kids and you'll see a list of available databases, including Animal Kingdom and Pebble Go Animals, the Elementary level Encyclopedia Britannica, several biography resources, TumbleBooks and TumbleMath, plus DK Books and Magic School Bus. In addition, there are several resources focused just on SC history. Most of the databases will read to students and/or translate the text into Spanish. This is a much more reliable and focused resource for research than google. If you'd like me to show students how to use it or dive deeper into what it has, just let me know!
