Learn how to integrate digital media resources into your teaching practice. This on-demand, go-at-your-own-pace online training is designed for all teachers, librarians, technology specialists, paraeducators, health and counseling staff, and CTE educators.  

• Are you looking for a K-12 alternative to Google for student research or supplementary teaching materials? 
• Have you ever wished there was a vetted, education-focused version of YouTube that you could search by teaching standards, grade level, or subject area? 
• Do you want to increase student engagement and provide opportunities to extend learning beyond the textbook or classroom?

In this course, you will:

• successfully login and access digital media resources and databases available to you through your district 
• learn about what Gale is, what Learn 360 is, and basic navigation of the platforms 
• practice searching the resources, saving and sharing them, and importing them into Google Classroom or your learning management system 
• gain inspiration from examples and learn how to integrate this content into your teaching practice 

Notes: 

• Nearly every school district in the ESD 113 region has access to Gale academic databases and resources. And the majority of districts opt-in to access the huge Learn360 video collections. 
• Educators from EdTech+ member districts receive free registration for this course and all EdTech+ trainings.
