Thing 17 - ELM

I have used ELM with some of my classes, but it was great to find new ways to use this tool. On GALE , it took me awhile to remember how to do my alerts, and also to find the NPR news feed on Children's Health, but I finally got it! I also tried making a web page on ProQuest. This was totally new to me! I had no idea I could make a page, email it and save it. Web 2.0 continues to amaze me!

I have used Kid Info Bits, and also the Junior Reference Collection with my students, although it's something I need to improve on and get into even more. The more I can introduce them to now, the better they will be at using it when they get to Junior and Senior High School.
