Tips for Teachers
Links to other animals are found at the bottom of the zebra web page. If students which to explore the links to other animals you may decide to set aside other time during the day such as during center/free choice time to explore these links. These links might also be used during a unit on animals. If you are not going to use the links at this time you may want to limit the amount of the screen that is visible during your exploration of zebras in order to avoid undue distractions.
