The author stresses the importance of using nonfiction or informational texts to grow students' background knowledge. Make sure you check out INFOhio’s informational text from BookFlix, Capstone, Highlights Library, and PebbleGo Next.
INFOhio also has created text sets to support student learning and develop background knowledge. Check out the following grade K-3 examples and try creating your own using the INFOhio Text Sets: Teacher Guide and INFOhio Text Sets Template.
After reading informational texts, students can create videos sharing what they have learned. Informational videos also can be useful when teaching students new topics or reviewing materials.
INFOhio has many videos to support classroom topics. To find videos in Educator Tools, browse by Item Type, then Video. Also add a keyword search to further focus the results. For example, a teacher did a keyword search for habitat then limited the Item Type to Video. There are 23 videos about habitats.
The author mentions that sometimes YouTube is blocked in districts. Instead, try to find educational videos that you need in Educator Tools from INFOhio. Browse the collection of videos or try some keyword searches to see what you can find for use in the classroom.
