Experience Expert Space!
Expert Space is the new digital curriculum and toolkit that will transform the way all students access and deepen content-area knowledge, plan and complete projects and assignments, and develop 21st century information literacy skills. In addition to the thousands of Grolier Online articles, images, and resources you already love, Expert Space’s:
| • |
100 xSpaces or topic areas meet 100% of National Essential Skills in Science and Social Studies with engaging content, including motivational videos that build background knowledge for each topic area. |
| • |
Reading scaffolds, including Spanish translations, leveled text, vocabulary support, and read aloud functionality, support all readers. |
| • |
Calendar and assignment tools help students develop time management skills. A digital note card tool and organizer, outline tool, and bibliography generator teach students to synthesize, organize, and record information. |
| • |
Skill Builders model best practices in searching, note taking, organizing notes, evaluating sources, and more. |
