Let's Go On A Scavenger Hunt with PebbleGo

Second graders in Mrs. Christina Young's class visited the laptop lab with a special Scavenger Hunt in hand. Various famous people were to be located in the biography section of PebbleGo, an online resource for students. 
Student listening to narrative...

Selecting biography from list of categories...
PebbleGo Biographies features 12 main categories, featuring both traditional and less traditional biographies. It includes articles on the person's early life, life"s work, milestones, and legacy. The articles are fully narrated, includes animated highlighting, educational videos and games, and much more.
Using animated highlighting...
PebbleGo can be accessed at school and from home. If accessing on computers other than RRISD computers, you will need to have the user name and password. Please ask the teacher, Mrs. Beasley, or Mrs. Oliver for those passwords.
Scavenger hunt complete!
  Each student was to list accomplishments or contributions of various famous people. Students were able to accomplish a lot of research in very little time.
