Please visit our FAQ page on the Portal for more information on additional online resources available, including databases purchased by the state library.

California Streaming/CalSnap - CaliforniaStreaming provides a comprehensive collection of videos, audio, and images from the best producers across the country and selected by CA educators. Our integrated search brings high-quality resources from select partners, allowing users to access licensed content, state purchased databases and open education resources in one search.

Scholastic GO - Scholastic Go! provides access to online encyclopedias for all ages from elementary school through adult. This database incorporates Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia and is published by Scholastic Library Publishing.

PebbleGo/NEXT -Specifically designed to meet the needs of young researchers, PebbleGo databases support literacy and build a foundation for a lifetime of learning. Each database features expertly-leveled text and navigation specifically designed for your beginning researchers. Enriched with spoken-word audio, text highlighting and audio/video media, PebbleGo builds a foundation of research skills for every learner. Available to elementary school sites only.

Mystery Science - Mystery Science is designed to be easy prep: lessons just need simple materials that are usually on hand in classrooms, or can easily be found at grocery or discount stores. Lessons in spanish available. 

Media Center/Library

The Media Center/Library consists of physical and visual items for educators to use in their classroom. We utilize Insignia Library to make it easier for teachers to reserve items online. Booking items is now simpler than ever! You can also e-mail media@mcoe.org or call ahead for pick up (a two hour lead time would be appreciated). Login to Insignia with your Google account.

For library items checked out through Insignia online: each district/site has a designated delivery day for weekly delivery. Deliveries are completed by the MCOE Warehouse staff. Please email media@mcoe.org to coordinated pick-up of items. You can also designate that you want to pick-up items any day of the week when booking your items online.
