Ms. Schwoerer made 3 minute video slideshow to send to all the classes after the Operation Discovery research talk. The presentation graphics and slides were more simple but the main part was the narration done with Screencast. This is a great tool to add voice to presentations and is another tool that you can use in the library or even to help newbies practice a presentation.

I am surprised by some of the lexile measures and how high and low they are. Here is more information about this specific way of measuring texts and why some schools are adopting this as a way to better focus on at what level the students are reading.
