Classroom Ideas to Go!

With Classroom Ideas to Go! by Scholastic, users select a grade range, subject, and lesson type, and they are then presented with a collection of developmentally and subject-appropriate lesson ideas from a library of over 1,200 lessons. Users have the ability to select from a K–8 grade range, the subject, and a type of lesson (e.g., group work, quiet, active, test preparation, outdoors, etc.). Following these selections, users are then given one idea that can be saved to a favorites list, shared via email, or the user has the option to advance to the next lesson idea. Lessons can also be located by using the search feature, in which users can input key words to find lesson ideas. Lastly, as users review lessons, they can tap the save button to save lesson ideas to their favorites, making them easily accessible for future reference.
