Inquiry - Vendor Suggested Titles
Vendor suggested titles are available for all inquiry units and mini lessons written this summer. Lists and information are available in District Librarian shared drive > inquiry > title suggestions and quotes. Follett, BTSB, Garrett and DLB have all provided quotes.
Sharing Learn 360 Resources
Learn 360 contains resources for both students and teachers. Accessing this resource through Launchpad automatically logs you into your personal account. This provides benefits for gathering, organizing and sharing resources with students and teachers. When you or your students find content that you are interested in saving, select the add to option.
You will be given the option to add the content to an existing folder or start a new folder. Once content is added to a folder it is available under your profile icon by clicking on My Content. When curating information to share with students or teachers, select the add to option but choose playlists tab. Playlists can be shared via email, Google Classroom, embed codes, or links.
