I would use this site to work with the math and science teachers. For this bookmark, I am focusing on math because I find this group to be the hardest to get to work with the library. I would meet with the teachers, discuss concepts they are teaching and then show them this array of simulations they can assign students for any of the following reasons: *Formative Assessment *Further practice on a concept a student is struggling with mastering *A learning extension for accelerated learners - this could be a part of a personalized learning path.

YouTubers, Authors, Philanthropists - John & Hank Green provide high quality educational videos in a variety of educational content areas.

I think this is a great channel of video resources that my coworkers can use to change it up a little for students. They will find many topics/lessons that they currently teach on this channel. I will encourage them to use them in their classrooms, assign them for homework, assist with studying for a test or any other ways they see fit!

I would use this site to introduce concepts to students. These short videos are great attention getters. For example, I could use the video on Diseases to help students understand how far we have come in medical advances and to assist them in gaining an understanding of how easily diseases are transmitted. These could also be used as a flipped classroom format. Students could watch the content, take notes, and come prepared for the activity the next day.

This resource comes from Edx which offers 820 courses in 30 subjects from 85 institutional partners. This course comes from the University of California: Berkeley and is an 8 week course on the science behind happiness. Our district has been focusing on staff and student wellness this year, specifically mental health. We have many initiatives in place and have been working with local agencies to improve access to healthcare. This would be a course staff or students could take to obtain a deeper understanding of how our bodies function and why we feel the way we do at times.

For HS courses that don't fall under AP restrictions, these materials can be helpful for retooling sections of curriculum or even adding a unit to a well rounded curriculum since the site has 5 available for Astronomy alone!

My HS health and nursing teacher is searching for new materials to help with her nutrition unit. These students are often bound for college nursing programs, so this would be a great fit to help prepare these Juniors and Seniors.
