Newsela is an awesome literacy tool that many of our teachers are using. Teachers can create a wide range of subject-specific lessons for their students. Students can personalize their reading according to their reading level.
There are two great options to access Newsela content:
Option 1: The Newsela website
 | Newsela is all set up in our Classlink Launchpad so that all students can just tap on the icon and it will log them into their students account without having to type anything in. This works on both iPads and laptops. The quick login is very nice. |
Option 2: The Newsela iPad App
 | This is available in Self Service for all students and should download very quickly. Student will need to log in using their school Google account. Once logged in, if students do not 'quit' the App, it will keep them logged in. This may be preferred for iPads since the content is more touch-screen friendly. If the iPad has any other App already logged in using a Google account, then this is very easy. Otherwise, a password will be needed. |
There are many instructional resources available by iPad App, laptop App, or website. For iPads, some of them only work with an App (such as SeeSaw) and others can use both (such as Newsela). Let me know if you need support getting either up and running in your classroom.
