DESCRIPTION
Through the MDK12 Consortium, we all have access to SIRS Discoverer, SIRS Decades, and SIRS Knowledge Source. But, when was the last time you really took or, perhaps, I should say, "had" the time to check out all of the cool features these great resources have to offer? Learn about the super-cool features like downloadable eBooks, resources for educators, built-in student supports, Common Core Correlations, and more. Discover where to access free promotional and training tools that you can use to make these resources more accessible to colleagues and students.
