SBAC Digital Library Scavenger Hunt
• How many resources are there available today?• How many of these resources are posted with
distinction?• What is one resource a teacher at your site might
use right now?• What is one resource you might consider using to
support staff development at your site?• What questions do you anticipate from teachers
as we roll this out?
