RESEARCH DATABASES
This is the best and most comprehensive research engine for CCSD students. Searching on GoFollett.com will yield results from ALL of the databases below, PLUS the entire library catalog (paper and ebooks), AND results from Webpath Express (CCSD library search engine for education). The very best part is that GoFollett provides ALL your citations as well!

Use Google Advanced Search to limit your searches to educationally focused domains, such as .edu, .org, or .gov
This database is an awesome collection of teaching materials, videos, author videos and everything else you could possibly need for novel units! One of my favorite features is the "author name pronunciation" where authors are recorded saying their own names. Teachers can register their email addresses to have access to extra features, including a user guide specific to CCSD.

Are you old enough to remember when CCSD subscribed to Discovery Education Video Streaming? This is similar, with lots, lots more! Hosted by our very own Vegas PBS affiliate, Vegas OnePlace is an aggregator that searches a variety of databases for videos, images, teaching resources, ebooks, websites, and... DVDs??? Yes, you can even request good old DVDs from the Educational Media Center to be delivered to you at Greenspun! Short tutorial here: https://youtu.be/Ku1ppQjDYdE
