Sites for Kids and Educators

"So what is a Content Trailer? Very simply, a Content Trailer is a short, 2- to 3-minute, media-rich experience from which a point of inquiry can begin." A perfect place to find a hook to show your students before beginning a unit about which they might have little first hand knowledge. Content trailers can test students prior knowledge and be shown again at the end of a unit as a review. Content Trailers are engaging, yet simple tools that can be used in any classroom and WBR is generously providing these for use by any teacher.
