00:00:00,772 --> 00:00:03,570
Hello and welcome to the IRIS Center! The purpose

00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:06,453
of this video is to acquaint you with the IRIS Resource

00:00:06,453 --> 00:00:10,566
Locator, or IRL, which we’re looking at now. But first

00:00:10,566 --> 00:00:13,077
I’m going to show you two different ways to get to

00:00:13,077 --> 00:00:16,425
the IRL from our home page.

00:00:16,425 --> 00:00:19,606
One way to get to the IRL is to click on the Resources

00:00:19,606 --> 00:00:22,658
tab in the fixed navigation header, then click on

00:00:22,658 --> 00:00:25,966
the first option in the drop-down menu. A second way

00:00:25,966 --> 00:00:28,694
to get to the IRL from the home page is to scroll

00:00:28,694 --> 00:00:32,697
down to the IRIS Resource Locator box and click on

00:00:32,697 --> 00:00:35,265
the Get Started link.

00:00:35,265 --> 00:00:37,770
Once you’re on the IRL page, you’ll see a list of

00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:41,283
topic areas on the left and the full list of topics

00:00:41,283 --> 00:00:45,013
in green subheadings on the right. Click on any checkbox

00:00:45,013 --> 00:00:48,852
or title on the left to narrow your search options.

00:00:48,852 --> 00:00:51,285
For example, when I click on “Behavior and Classroom

00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:55,031
Management,” only that topic remains on the right.

00:00:55,031 --> 00:00:57,122
All of the IRIS resources related to Behavior and

00:00:57,122 --> 00:01:00,746
Classroom Management appear below the green subheading,

00:01:00,746 --> 00:01:03,621
including modules, case studies, Fundamental Skill

00:01:03,621 --> 00:01:07,119
Sheets, activities, information briefs, interviews,

00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:09,764
and video vignettes.

00:01:09,764 --> 00:01:12,529
Another option is to click directly on the topic

00:01:12,529 --> 00:01:15,295
of interest using the list of green subheadings on

00:01:15,295 --> 00:01:17,940
the right, which will open a drop-down menu of all

00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:21,331
the related resources below. I can click on any of

00:01:21,331 --> 00:01:24,334
these resource types to get more information. For

00:01:24,334 --> 00:01:27,368
example, if I click on “Modules,” a list of module

00:01:27,368 --> 00:01:30,724
titles appears, with each one accompanied by a brief

00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:33,893
description and the estimated time it takes to work

00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:36,287
through the module.

00:01:36,287 --> 00:01:38,727
Now, I’m going to close the Topics option in the

00:01:38,727 --> 00:01:41,779
left navigation bar and click on the Resource Types

00:01:41,779 --> 00:01:44,628
option directly below it, which will provide a drop-down

00:01:44,628 --> 00:01:47,758
menu to sort resources by modules, case studies, and

00:01:47,758 --> 00:01:51,058
so on. Note that not all topics have every resource

00:01:51,058 --> 00:01:53,326
type.

00:01:53,326 --> 00:01:56,347
As we return to the top of the IRL, you can see that

00:01:56,347 --> 00:02:00,254
it’s also possible to sort resources using the Topic

00:02:00,254 --> 00:02:04,385
and Resource Type filters above the green subheadings.

00:02:04,385 --> 00:02:07,984
Well, that’s a brief tour of our IRIS Resource Locator.

00:02:07,984 --> 00:02:10,618
Thank you for watching this video and, as always,

00:02:10,618 --> 00:02:13,783
we encourage you to explore the site on your own.
