WorldCat is a global library catalog that allows teachers to search for books, articles, and other educational resources available in libraries worldwide. By entering a title, author, or keyword, educators can locate materials in nearby libraries, access digital resources, and discover new teaching materials. WorldCat is beneficial for finding hard-to-access texts, historical documents, and academic research. Teachers can use it to expand their classroom library, recommend reading materials to students, or enhance lesson plans with diverse sources.
tag(s): Research (95), digital reading (18), book lists (168), authors (116), resources (78)
In the Classroom
Have students search for a specific book, author, or topic related to your curriculum using WorldCat. Ask them to find the closest library with the book and compare availability across locations. Choose a novel or historical text related to your class and find different editions or translations on WorldCat. Have the class compare publication dates, cover designs, and publishers, then discuss how these factors might affect interpretation. Provide students with a historical event or literary movement and have them use WorldCat to locate a primary source (ex., original speeches, diaries, first editions) and present their source, explaining its historical significance and how it connects to modern perspectives.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Teach students to write interview questions and rehearse asking them. Then invite a school staff member (nurse, custodian, counselor) as a guest expert. Have students research their classmates' needs, design a small improvement (e.g., a class jobs system, a reading nook layout, noise-level agreements), and present their ideas. Use the PBLWorks rubrics to guide collaboration and presentation skills.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Pause and Think Online is a lesson designed to teach young students how to use the internet safely, responsibly, and respectfully. It uses a catchy song and engaging visuals featuring the Digital Citizens characters to help children understand and remember key principles of digital citizenship, such as thinking before reacting, protecting privacy, recognizing trustworthy content, being kind online, and managing device time. The lesson includes interactive activities, discussion prompts, handouts, and take-home resources to help students reflect on their use of technology. Use this lesson as a short 15 to 25-minute session or extend it into a whole-class session, depending on your schedule. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

tag(s): digital citizenship (113), internet safety (117)
In the Classroom
Teach students a simple hand-motion routine that matches the song's ideas (pause, think, protect, be kind). Use it as a warm-up before any digital activity to reinforce safe choices. Show a sample webpage or classroom-safe site, and model pausing and thinking before clicking. Students can then practice in partners, explaining their choices aloud. Give students picture cards of the Digital Citizens characters and brief online scenarios. Have them match each scenario to the character who would give the best advice, just like in the lesson.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Activities section suggests several books to read that range from ages PreK to grade 12, with seven videos from which to choose. One activity suggests students practice walking with jugs of water balancing on their heads. Another activity is to simulate cleaning up bird feathers after an oil spill. Additional resources and activities are suggested in the Extensions section.

The purpose of the site is to provide access to a curated selection of captivating short stories read by the acclaimed actor and host to entertain and inspire listeners. The podcast features a diverse range of stories from various genres, including science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction, allowing listeners to explore new authors and narratives. Each episode includes a high-quality reading, followed by Burton's personal reflections and insights on the story's themes and characters. The site also offers an easy-to-navigate interface, making it simple for listeners to browse episodes, read summaries, and access additional content such as author interviews and behind-the-scenes details.
