Resources (for reference only)

Ask Patti or Kate if you want pages with any of the following interactives made into steps to use in WISE. We strongly recommend that you don't just copy and paste this HTML into a WISE step and edit it there, but rather let Patti or Kate create a custom Step (html) page, which we'll add a link for above, and then you'll just embed a link to our page in your step. That's how we've done it for 5th and 7th grade units. Why? The HTML for these pages is complex and easy to break accidentally, and the WISE html editor is poor. It's easy to get buggy HTML if you paste in and edit this complex HTML in WISE. Our look-and-feel will also be more consistent if we let Kate style these pages.
