Using Destiny to Search for Digital Content

The internet is full of content, but it can be hard to find resources that are specific, appropriate, and relevant for your classroom.

Accessed from Aspen's Staff view and Student portal, the Destiny tab includes up to four search tools to help teachers and students find appropriate digital content.

Use Destiny's search tools to navigate the internet and your library collection, refine search results, and efficiently access resources. Each tool has its own side-tab:

• WebPath Express™: A digital content subscription of more than 80,000 credible, content-safe, and age-appropriate websites that are evaluated and assessed by educators regularly.

  Note: WebPath Express is an additional subscription your district can purchase.

• One Search™: A school's collection of subscription and free online databases.
• Digital Resources: A school's digital resources, which might include Follett's Resources Services, or another digital resources service.
• Destiny: A school's library resources, available through a link to Destiny Library Manager.

When you find a link or resource worth saving, you can drag and drop it into My Resources. This way, you can instantly share it on a Page by placing it in a group folder, or store it in a personal folder to access when you need it.

For example, as a teacher, you might find a great website for students to use when completing tonight's lesson. Drag and drop the link from the search tool on the Destiny tab to a folder for that unit in My Resources.

Then, as you create the assignment, drag and drop the links from My Resources to the Resources Provided by the Teacher section. Your students can go to the Student portal to access the links and any other resources you provide for them.
