__//**3-2-1 Activity**//:__ With a copy of the Electronic Resources Password Database handy (and your Top 10 List from last time if you have it), use the 3-2-1 Activity handout to reflect on our last meeting. Today we will focus on the electronic resources available, so limit your reflection to these items.



Considering the resources on the list for your building:
 * 1) Note things you learned
 * 2) Things that interest you and
 * 3) Things you would like to try
 * 4) Use the space at the bottom of the page to jot down upcoming topics or projects in your curriculum. Having a couple in mind that you would like to enhance will help to focus you as you explore a resource later during the workshop. Please don't feel bound to these topics though. While looking for resources to enhance them you may find some gems that work with other topics or projects you didn't list!
 * 5) Round Robin - Each participant will share one item from their handout (one thing they learned or one thing that interest them or one thing they would like to try)

 * At your computer, access the Technology Document Library

 * Open the file and click on the worksheet for your building

15 Minute Break __//**Instructional Electronic Resources**//:__

 * The electronic resources password database has every electronic resources that you may need a password, pass key or code to use. Most are websites but not all of them (e.g. GradeKeeper). Some are instructional (e.g. Quiz Hub) some are professional (e.g. AESOP). Some are free (e.g. NOVEL - EBSCO)....but most are not.
 * K-12 Instructional Resources to note:
 * **netTrekker** - netTrekker connects you to a wealth of standards-aligned digital resources and technology tools specifically designed for engaging students in a learning experience that supports their unique needs. All netTrekker resources are hand-selected by expert educators to keep every search safe, focused, and relevant every time. (Note your Library Media Specialist is an excellent contact person for information or help using this resource!)
 * **Quiz Hub** //-// elementary educational games, smartboard lessons, online learning activities,
 * The big difference between NetTrekker and Quiz Hub is that NetTrekker is a search engine that connects you to digital resources that are educator approved. Quiz Hub is an interactive website that you can use with students.
