We are excited to promote the following IMS events for this Spring 2017:

IU13 IMS is pleased to announce that finding discount pricing options for rich, online instructional media resources has now become even easier! IU13 Instructional Media Services (IMS) and Pennsylvania Instructional Media Services (PAIMS) together bring consortia opportunities for IU13 public and nonpublic districts/schools striving to offer the best possible prices for quality instructional media resources for teaching & learning.

What's new to the IMS this 2016-2017 school year you ask?  IU13 IMS is pleased to partner with Gale Cengage Learning providing two popular research databases Student Resources in Context and Opposing Viewpoints in Context.  Starting this school year, all our IU13 high schools have access to these two powerful databases for student research.  No account log in information is necessary when using these databases at IU13 or in each high school. When at IU13, go to the homepage on this IMS blog and click on the link to these databases in the upper-left corner under Resource Links.  When in each high school, navigate to your library/media center webpages to find active links to these databases. Notice that once you find the research you are looking for, you can log in to your Google Drive (GAFE) account and annotate the articles all while keeping the notes in your DRIVE!  Learn more about these databases by browsing the slide deck below:

Continuing with our blog series "Discovery Education is so much MORE than videos" we now turn our attention to STEM Connect.  When you log in to your Discovery Education Streaming service, click on the Teacher Center tab in order to see all the great teacher services in Discovery Education.
