INFOhio and the Management Council support personalized learning and encourage districts to pursue the Future Ready Ohio vision. The Are You Ready? blog series will help school and district leaders—superintendents, principals, tech integration specialists and coaches, and teachers and librarians—identify the INFOhio resources, tools, content, and features that contribute to the Future Ready Framework and enable alignment with the goals established by the framework's assessments and guidelines. Each post in the series will address how INFOhio supports student learning by explaining how our content aligns with and supports the individual gears of the framework: Collaborative Leadership, Budget & Resources, Use of Space & Time, Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment, Robust Infrastructure, Data & Privacy, Community Partnerships, and Personalized Professional Learning.

Where did BookFlix go? It's in all the same places it was before, but the logo has new look.

INFOhio's GO! Ask, Act, Achieve has been revised and updated, just in time for second semester research projects.

There are many ways to encourage literacy during the holiday break, and INFOhio is sharing tips and tools that keep giving all year. Join us for a webinar to learn how you can give your students easy access to awesome eBooks they'll love to read.

When INFOhio licensed the quality eBooks from Scholastic's BookFlix for all Ohio students, parents and teachers five years ago, we knew we were into something good. With over 130 fiction and nonfiction pairs of popular titles, BookFlix is a resource that engages students, even reluctant readers, and brings them back again and again to read, listen to, and learn from digital text. With a new interface and helpful features, BookFlix is now more user friendly than ever! And INFOhio users sure love the new interface. October 2018 was one of the highest use months BookFlix has had, and Ohio students, teachers, and parents make it our most used resource overall.

Are you feeling excited by the idea of this great digital content available to you at no cost? Intrigued by integrating technology into your reading time, but still not sure how to start? Make sure you make the most of BookFlix by taking training designed just for busy teachers and resource-strapped schools and districts. INFOhio has created the BookFlix Class in the INFOhio K-5 Digital Content Learning Pathway to accommodate both individual teachers and groups of staff members who want to learn BookFlix basics and design instruction around digital content. 

Are your young readers getting the most out of the digital era? Watch the recording of this School Library Journal webinar to hear about best reading practices for early literacy and strategies for teaching PreK-Grade 3 students.
