What's New In Pioneer Library?

Today, we'll explore all of the amazing resources available to you and your students, from school AND at home, through Pioneer Library from UEN. We'll keep the information here very brief. 

Bookmark this page as a quick guide to Pioneer Resources by topic or category. Teachers and students can access Pioneer from home by heading to http://pioneer.uen.org, using pioneer and search as the password to login. The password changes once a year, but you can always head back to the Pioneer main page from school to see what the current password is.

Once we have completed our tour of Pioneer, you may want to partake in the Pioneer Library Scavenger Hunt that you can use or adapt for use in your school or classroom. All that I ask is that instead of doing the last section on the Visual Thesaurus (which is not in Pioneer any longer), that you explore another section of Pioneer NOT already included in the scavenger hunt and write 3 of your own questions of resources or information to find. I'll compile these questions, and add it back to a MASTER Scavenger Hunt, which I'll include here for your use later on.

The New eMedia - Getting You Good To Go!

eMedia is still the first place to look for thousands of educational videos available for teaching Utah's core curricula, but it has a new look and feel and may look a little different to you. The new interface is much easier to navigate and is designed to get you the educational video content you need quickly! eMedia is accessed through Utah's Pioneer Online Library, along with a wealth of other great resources.

There are a few things that MAY need to be updated to get started and successfully use eMedia in your classroom on your computer. There is also a Getting Started Guide to help you with some of the most frequently asked questions.

Audio Book links and resources:
- Lit2Go - Free audio 'books' from the Classics in chapters that you can download for free from iTunesU
