Hello,

If there was a web portal dedicated to Michigan educators that included lesson plan builders, resource sharing, and content tools for PreK through Grade 12, would you or someone you know find it useful?  The Michigan Department of Education and Library of Michigan think so, which is why we collaborate on providing M.O.R.E., the Michigan Online Resource for Educators.  Developed and maintained by educators for educators, parents, and students, it is a one-stop collection of assessments, lesson plans, online interactive sessions, and videos, all aligned to the CCSS (Common Core State Standards) and the Michigan standards.  Interested? Visit M.O.R.E. by clicking on the Teachers tab at MeL.org and register for a free account to be able to use all the tools available in the portal.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?  Stay tuned for next week’s MeL Minute available on many Michigan library listservs, email us at contact@mel.org or visit Michigan.gov/mel.  We encourage you to share MeL Minutes with your public service colleagues.
