This scavenger hunt can be used to help familiarize upper elementary students with Explora's content and features. Students conduct several searches and learn how to organize and refine the results.

I think that this OER is interesting. In a collaborative effort with the Chemistry department, these idea could be put into place. Often times, students are only able to read about dangerous chemicals to their danger factor of having them in schools.

In researching Khan Academy more in-depth, I've found that there is a section called Hour of Code under the digital resources. I use "Hour of Code" from code.org, but this resource actually takes you through 10-15 steps of the coding process, with short videos to open each section, and then they have the kids complete the task. You can sign up for a free 30 day trial if you don't have a login for Khan. Then you can create a class list, assign students, etc...The content would be ok for 5th grade and up.

This would be great to share with educators. If it would be too overwhelming, a few resources from the list could be shared out each week/month with examples.
