Let’s Build Something Together!

Beginning with a “keyword” search – statistics show the most traffic here

Let’s Build Something Together!

No search results for “Lindsay Lohan”, but “Sting” works because of his musical style related to “Dorian” and “Celtic songs” in this video citation

Let’s Build Something Together!

Searching by keyword?• Limit number of words in search string• Use terms & common synonyms from a standard

• (How many results will keyword “lunar” return versus “moon”?)• Yes, spelling matters. We don’t have the feature “did you mean…?”

Our #1 no hits search is “persausive writing”, but a search for persuasive will return 63 results!

Below is a keyword search with no hits (red ink)– but view a returned results list from a standard search on the next slide …

Begin with “Browse by Standards” – AZ AcademicNote the change from “browse” to “filter”Follow the standard coding• Grade 1• Science• Strand 4• Concept 1 – because Science POs are clustered, we don’t often teach to a

single PO – stop here and see nine results• or P.O. 1

Let’s Build Something Together!

SC01-S4C1 -01 has seven entries at the PO level, but we could have stopped at the Concept level

Let’s Build Something Together!

Next most popular search type is the “ALL” located under keyword boxUser applies filter in any order

Let’s Build Something Together!

Using the Resource Type filter – each category expandsProfessional Resource expands – see courses

Media expands – see video

Tip: you may apply many filters in any order

Let’s Build Something Together!

Begin with a “Browse by Subject” and choose Science

These science resources are not necessarily aligned (as if you had chosen a standard search)

Many of the resources are integrated with other subject areas

Let’s Build Something Together!

With Science as a starting subject, you may add filters in any order

Looking at “resource type” again, note lesson plans, media, and ADE materials
