The instructional opportunities are limitless! We can now Air Play from any Apple device. One of these two devices is to remain stationary in the library and one is to be mobile to different classrooms. The following link contains useful information about all of your Apple products. Scroll all the way down the page for the possibilities of the Apple TV within a classroom. See me to enhance your lessons with this new and exciting device.
Merry Christmas with bountiful resources for all! You know what to do if you see anything that you would like to use for your instruction.

RCSD portion
This area contains RCSD links, including the RCSD Symbaloo. It contains hundreds of resources for each discipline. Check it out today if you are seeking material for your instructional needs.
Access to books
Use this section to access books/ebooks for BMS. The card catalogue links you to Destiny, which is the library's computer program. I have added one new feature to our card catalogue. This added feature will allow you to search the web for guaranteed safe sites for your classroom. If you are needing videos, textual references, primary/secondary sources, etc., this is your answer. See me for instructions on how to access it.
Turquoise Area
This area is used frequently by your librarian. Spend some time getting to know these valuable resources, including citation engines.
Yellow Area
