Each TrueFlix title includes the following elements:

• Watch the Video: A streaming video that engages the student and introduces the topic. 
• Read the Book: A flipbook version of the True Book with page-turning and read-along features, chapter tabs, and vocabulary terms identified and defined. 
• Explore More: Related content that provides opportunities for further research and reading across a variety of text types.
• Lesson Plan: Every Trueflix topic is accompanied by a lesson plan with teaching activities that are tied to the specific content of that Trueflix topic. 
• Project Idea: For beginning researchers, this includes a project goal and ideas or questions on how to kick-start research—perfect for a class activity or homework assignment.
• Activity Center: Includes a "Show What You Know" 10-question multiple-choice quiz and a Word Match game based on the important words included in each title.

Preserving the Past for the Future

Let me share my digitizing story that began with an idea and rolled into a final digitized collection that can be accessed in PA Photos and Documents. Learn about PA Photos and Documents and how you too can share content on PA Photos and Documents. Nicole Joniec, Digitization Specialist from HSLC, will be presenting along with Kristin Douglas, Hempfield High School Librarian.

This presentation is on Friday, March 31st at 11:30AM in the Metropolitan C room. More information can be found via Session A-EF (weebly.com).
