**Luck of the Irish to you! Giovanna found four great tools for you to try out. **

**1. Discovery Education: **Maybe you heard of  SOS (Spotlight on Strategies) in DE,  but unsure how to use them or what they are?  Giovanna found this great [Google Sheet ](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sFOKDvHoJGJt2gdVwQI67tbxU8ua0RPOZrv-AHAU_t0/edit#gid=203945107)that shares each one of them with types of learning media and thinking skills each address.  
**2. MS or HS students into Social Media too much: **Why not take something that is relevant for them and incorporate it into your lessons. [Click here ](https://ditchthattextbook.com/social-media-templates/)for access to 12 Social Media themed Google Slide Decks  
**3. HS teachers or Job Trainers: **Use this [LinkedIn Google Slide Template ](https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/0/d/1N-WdU3oNULsB3AFazn-Zvg5QwIWpyKnnZ4nd6APlAU0/edit)to encourage students to think about the next job and/or career dream.   
**4. For all learners**: The ultimate [STEM resource site](https://www.mastersindatascience.org/resources/the-ultimate-stem-guide-for-kids-239-cool-sites-about-science-technology-engineering-and-math/) of lessons, competitions, for Grades K-12 with descriptions of each website. 

**Finally, do you want to stay current on what is occurring with Google - **[**check-out their 3 minute or under quick update videos **](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP7Bvyb3ap44ZF6qR7SLf5AXFHv8lJM50)**created by Google to keep you in the know! **

**Look on the right hand side of this Blog post for our next prize give-a-way. Could it be you? SECs or Program Designee will be nominating staff or classes each month and the winner or winners will be randomly selected using **[**Wheel of Names**](https://wheelofnames.com/)**. Good Luck!  **
