A Note From Julie
Developing students' digital literacy skills also helps them acquire skills that are crucial for surviving in an information-rich world. They learn to persevere when they are faced with evaluating numerous sources of information, they learn to think critically as they craft and pursue inquiry questions, they demonstrate problem-solving skills as they collaborate with their peers on many different topic and projects. Thank you for everything you do to help prepare our students for their futures! Best wishes for a well-deserved winter break!
Destiny and Mackin Integration
- Mackin Via records will be available with destiny usernames and passwords, eliminating the need to login twice.
- The MARC records for MackinVia ebooks and other digital resources have been loaded into the Destiny catalog.
- Your Administrator accounts will remain intact for logging on to the administrator account on www.mackinvia.com.
- One major change, current MackinVia backpacks will be erased when the integration occurs. New backpacks will be created for every student with the universal ID and passwords used to log in to destiny.
Please contact Jennifer Fugita (ext 4328) or Tiah Frankish (ext 6554) if you have questions, comments or concerns.
The integration will happen on December 18, 2015, unless you have questions that warrant delaying the integration while we find answers.
