PebbleGo Overview
PebbleGo Overview
PebbleGo is organized into categories that include Animals, Science, Biographies, Social Studies, and Health. The search bar allows students to find information without browsing. All content is read aloud to students making this great for independent work.
Each page is divided into smaller chunks of information to help students recognize text features and stay organized. The breadcrumb trail above the content helps with navigating the site. Teachers can also use the link near the search bar to share pages with students directly through Google Classroom, OneNote Class Notebooks, or other LMS.
PebbleGo Next Overview
PebbleGo Next Overview
The interface for PebbleGo Next is less juvenile in appearance and has different categories that are more aligned with upper elementary school students. The search and read-aloud elements work the same as in PebbleGo.
One element of PebbleGo and Next is the features shown at the bottom of a page. Students can see the information in article form, access additional activities, watch videos (when available) and use the Cite button to acknowledge their source of information.
