**HOMEWORK**
[] 1. In the Search Results window look for START FILTERING BY a. Grade Level 2. For this search you are simply going to look at all that is available in all content areas a. If you did a search for 3rd grade you would have come up with 619! 3. Give a quick look at some of the items that came up in your search. Note that there are resources for Professional Development, Classroom Resources andParent & Afterschool Resources. This is too much so //let’s refine your search//. 4. Go back to the search window and refine your search. Under Resource Type pick //one// area to work in…Lesson Plans, Student Interactivities or Calendar Activities. (If you click +more it will at Printout to the Resource Type list.) 5. From this search find 2 web sites to share at class this week.
 * Start with a Search**
 * On the first page you will complete a search for your grade level, not using a key word yet**

//Kristy// – you may want to use the Keyword search function to hone in on your area. Type Art in the SEARCH BY KEYWORD, then you can refine your search by scrolling down to REFINE BY and find the grade level you want to investigate.

//Laural & Victoria// – You can do the same thing as Kristy, typing “special education” in the search window. Be sure to put quote marks around the two words.
