Trueflix is a website developed by Scholastic to further develop their collection of non-fiction books in the area of social studies and science. Included with each digital book/video are project ideas, web links, games, quizzes, lesson plans and more. It is very simple to navigate and extremely easy to access and use. Currently, Seymour Public Schools has a free trial that will expire on December 15, 2011. Up to that point we will have full access to all of the books, videos and resources. If you can find some time to check out what the site has to offer, you will not be disappointed.
