WELCOME 2020

Seasons Greetings Everyone,


Welcome to a new decade. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season filled with good food, time with friends and family as well as some time to relax, unplug and recharge. I am looking forward to some of the amazing innovations a new decade will bring.


If you are looking for a new way to engage your classes try Goosechase (goosechase.com). It is a web-based app. that allows you to create an online scavenger hunt. I used it with my students as a technical and interactive scavenger hunt in the library and around the school building. You can create activities across content areas as well. Students can answer questions, take photos, record videos and explore their community.


It was a pleasure seeing so many of you all at the NJASL fall conference. I hope more of you can join us for our upcoming Best Books for Elementary and Best Books for Middle/High School presentations at the Parsippany Public Library on January 15 (snow 1/22).


Looking forward to seeing you all soon,


Tara Collins President, MCSMA
