1. Visit the information page for Explora for Grades 6-8 or Explora for Grades 9-12.
2. Click EBSCO Connect. 
3. Click "Open" to access the EBSCO Connect homepage. 
4. Click Tools and Resources from the top menu and then choose Promotional Materials.
5. In the search box, type "Explora".
6. Use the filters on the left to find the right material type for your needs. 

Below you will find three examples of promotional materials available for download below. 

Educators can customize the email template and send it to students, teachers, and parents or caregivers. Consider sending this email to a colleague who uses nonfiction text in the classroom. Or send it to a teacher who is using inquiry-based learning for a project. A teacher can send this email to parents and caregivers. The message also can include information on research sources for a child doing homework assignments for a project. 

The teacher handout can help you provide additional information to your colleagues. You can attach it as a PDF to the email template.

The student handout is a great tip sheet for students who have been introduced to Explora for Grades 6-8 or Explora for Grades 9-12. Print a copy for each student or add it to your LMS. 

Be sure to look for other helpful resources such as bookmarks and posters available on EBSCO Connect.
