Techsperts by Olivia Kelley

This week in techsperts we have collected all iPads. We got done with our author of the month. Our new author is Jennifer L. Holy we are so excited for you to see our new books. That's what we did in techsperts.

Mystery Book by Breanna Williams

Now that the mystery book clues are up and running just wanted to put it out there that when you guess the book and you guessed it correctly you get a prize. If you ever need any help trying to find out what book it is you can use your resources and check the learning commons new books to find it. Just in case you were wondering the book from before spring break was “the worst class trip EVER”.

LMS Blog by Ms. Travis

We are making things happen here in the LC.  We have upped our game as far as what we are offering to our school.  I am so excited about the new things we have going on!

Let's start with the Techsperts!  The Techsperts are busy starting some new ideas for the LC.  First hour is doing a Digital Suggestion Box idea.  Second hour is doing Genre recommendations from new books, teacher and student.   Third hour is starting digital book talk group.  Fourth hour is doing a mystery book contest.  Sixth hour is Teacher Feature where you try to figure out who the staff member is by clues.  Seventh hour is doing an author feature.

We are trying to get everything out digitally so that everyone can see even if they do not have time to come in to see us!  Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Edmodo and of course, here on our Weebly account.  We want to advertise for ourselves.  We want our materials and events to be seen by our patrons.

Now onto the cool new items added.  Our maintenance department built us a portable stage.  We are working on decorating it and making it a place to record different venues.  We have added guitars so that students can come in and practice if they have taken the class or teach themselves if they cannot take the class.  We have added new speakers with microphones for recording guitar, singing, poetry readings, and more.  We have added a weather station that will be put up on the roof as soon as weather permits.  These things are added to our already cool gadgets of VR goggles, Spheros, Makey Makeys, and Bloxels.

We will continue to build on the reasons to come see us in the LC!  We love having classes in and also individual students working on projects!  Hope to see you here soon!
