This week I checked out PebbleGo. PebbleGo is a wonderful research for K-5th grade students. Schools need to subscribe to PebbleGo for students to have access to the articles and eBooks. It has a lot of nonfiction resources from various topics such as science, social studies and biographies. There is a search bar for students to practice typing in what they are looking for or teachers can assign articles to the students and post it in Google Classroom or another platform of the teacher's choosing.
One thing I love about PebbleGo is the readaloud feature. This is great for emerging readers or learners who prefer to learn the material in an auditory manner. In addition, PebbleGo offers some articles in Spanish for ELL learners.
There is a citation button to teach students to cite their sources and makes the process very seamless.
A great way to keep them engaged is the games and activities associated with each unit. There are also ways for students to draw and record their learning after reading the articles which is a great way for students to demonstrate their learning and teachers can also use this as an assessment tool.
If PebbleGo is in your school's budget I highly recommend subscribing. It is a fantastic way to introduce valubale research skills to young learners. It teaches students to find information and respond to what they learned. I was really impressed with all the new features on PebbleGo compared to when my kids used this tool years ago. Looking forward to what new features they will continue to add to this great resource.
