The document summarizes how the Content Clips online tool can be used to support struggling elementary readers. Content Clips provides multimedia clips that teachers can use before, during, and after reading to build background knowledge, engage students, and assess comprehension. It also describes how teachers can search for existing clips and sets, add their own clips, mix clips together into customized activities, and assign activities to students.

Editor's Notes
- #8: Use a cooking metaphor to give a quick overview of Content Clips. Recipe for making a set or activity in Content Clips. Not a training session --- just an idea of how you might use it.
- #12: Example of a published set – a collection of images, video, and web resources. Available on ezine or in Content Clips. Click to see larger image or play clip.
- #13: If you want clips that isn’t in Collection, add your own link. Example: want an Arctic Hare with a summer coat. Find one on Flickr photo sharing site that gives permission to re-use.. Enter direct link to size you want.
- #14: Now, this jpeg image of an Arctic Hare is in my personal collection called “My Content.” Tip: add search terms to description.
- #15: Mix clips into the new set called “Arctic Mammal Set.” Five of the items from the left column were added to the set on the right.
- #16: If you click on the set icon, opens in the presentation view, with titles. Icons are draggable. Click on an icon to play video or on image to see larger view --- like Arctic Hare in winter.
- #18: Other choice is to make an activity by choosing a background, like a graphic organizer Here someone has started a Venn Diagram. You’ll see the actual activity later.
- #19: Can also assign items to a class clip zone and use that tab for presentations. Take out this slide??
- #20: Now will show an example of an activity created in Content Clips to introduce Arctic animals that could be used in pre-reading.
- #22: Find images: Loon, wolf, mosquito, whale, polar bear.
- #23: Click to see large images and study details
- #24: Listen to sound. Which animal makes this sound?
- #25: Move images of animals to matching sound. Extension: Why do animals make these sounds?
- #26: Activity toolbar includes drawing tools. Could turn on titles or …
- #27: Can also add labels when making activity and then drag labels to correct image and sound.
- #28: Example of an activity built with Content Clips that Jessica designed and published in the e-zine. Find on page that talks about misconceptions about mammals. Kids often categorize by motion. Bats are birds because they fly. Whales are fish because they swim. Answer key.
- #29: Video clip of Content Clips used in a third grade with smartboard. Dealing with animal characteristics (not arctic). May be able to hear students expressing some misconceptions
- #30: Click to play video
- #32: Click speaker icon to play audio.
- #33: Click speaker icons to play audio.
- #34: Click speaker icons to play audio.
- #35: Still need to add video clips
