Tech Tip of the Month!
Create shortcuts on your desktop to your favorite/most used websites! Go to your favorite site- minimze the browser so you can see both desktop and website. At the top of the browser window, locate the icon to the left of the web address (looks like paper). Drag icon to your desktop. Done!
iPad News
Wondering what apps are on all the library iPads? Click here to learn about some of the apps that can be used across curriculum and grade levels. Contact us to reserve iPads for your class. Not sure how to use them? We can help with that!
Integrating Technology
An easy way to integrate technology into lessons is by the use of QR codes. Students working on a poster board? Make it interactive using QR codes. Learning a new skill? Make a QR scavenger hunt. Liven up bulletin boards and art projects.
