Today we’ll take a look at getting the most from some new and ‘old’ resources available to you. I’ll show you some things to really leverage the power of your Chromebooks and I’ll show (or maybe remind you) of some of the incredible resources that have been available to you through the Pioneer Online Library for some time.

Chromebooks:

Pioneer Library – pioneer.uen.org

Your Turn! Please take a few moments and search for a Pioneer Library resource that you could use in your classroom tomorrow. When you have found it, please share the link for that resource to the group via the Mentimeter poll accessed below:

        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.
