Thing 32 - Atomic Learning...

This was my first time exploring Atomic Learning, and my first impressions is that is 'ok'.  I know that the site is loaded with helpful resources and tutorials, but I found it to be a little overwhelming with how much is there.  I like that you can narrow down your search results to help find what you are looking for (that is helpful).  I also found it beneficial that there are little write-ups with each video/tutorial.  That made it easier for me to find what I was looking for.
I think that there are videos/tutorials on here that I could definitely share with my students, and could see myself doing it as I get more comfortable with the site.  I want to give myself more time this school year to explore it, and really find effective ways to utilize it.
One tutorial that I really liked was  I liked was called How Do I Keep Advanced Readers Challenged
 https://www.atomiclearning.com/k12/hoonuit/221/challenge-advanced-readers-training/#/overview 
I found that it was laid out well, and was filled with great information, including how to incorporate other sites like Newsela.
As I said above, I can see myself using Atomic Learning this school year, but I will need more time to explore/navigate the site to best utilize it for my teaching.
