I choose “Click, Clack, Cows that Moo” from Book Flix.  As a substitute teacher I don't have a user name or password, to log in.  I wan't able to log on even from the professional development online site.  When exploring the sight, I clicked on the Book FLIX link and it took me to the Scholastic sales page link.  So I decided to sign up for a free trial.  This is only offered to teachers with a classroom or librarians.  I then watched the sales video to learn about Book Flix.  I love it.  The same was “Click, Clack, Cows that Moo,” paired up with the non-fiction book, “Let's visit a dairy.”  BookFlix lets you show the words being read in highlight.  I love this feature and I would definitely use that in the classroom.  The reading is followed by a hands on vocabulary game that gives immediate feedback.

The other source I can see using a lot with lower elementary, where I usually work, is 360 learning.  I liked the resources there.  To view this resource I clicked on the sample lesson plans.  When I clicked on the link, it showed me a movie title.  I looked up that title on U-tube and viewed it there.  It was a reading rainbow video on immigration to Ellis Island.  It was fascinating and really helped a person connect to how the passengers felt.

This year I will be working as  a Kindergarten Paraprofessional.  I am so glad I got to learn about these resources.  My students will have IEPs and I think it will be very helpful to have some background into  these, if the teacher lets me use with them the students I'm focusing on.
