Thousand Oaks Reads: One City, One Book
During the month of October the library will host a variety of programs and events, culminating in an author event on November 1 at the Civic Arts Plaza. Free tickets for the November 1 event are required; they will be available beginning October 4.
Tuesday Tech Tip: YouTube your way
Toogl.es
Toogl.es is a YouTube interface with all of the extras removed, including the ads before the videos. Easy to search and to use, toogl.es hides related videos from view, doesn't display comments and blocks all ads. It's a great way to display YouTube videos in front of students from any browser, without having to install a browser extension or script.
TubeChop.com
YouTubeTime.com
YouTubeTime.com is similar to TubeChop.com, but it only allows you to set the time you want the video to begin. It's an effective way to eliminate content that isn't relevant at the beginning of a video, or start a video exactly where the action or instruction begins.
The perfect graphic to make your presentation pop
PBS LearningMedia is a dynamic learning experience
PBS LearningMedia weaves all forms of media - texts, images, videos, and interactive games - into a dynamic learning experience for all students. PBS News Hour Extra is a site created to teach current events in the classroom with accompanying lesson plans for teachers to use. Using a self-paced lesson on the The Powers of the Government, students can work independently at their own speed. For hands-on learning, the Nova Elements interactive activity allows students to build their own atoms to reinforce their learning. There are also adventure games like Mission U.S., where a student can role-play to learn about an important historical event. Lastly, what English teacher wouldn’t appreciate having a go-to place when teaching Shakespeare?
Focus on: Our professional library
