What's New In the Library?
NEW LIBRARY VLOG
Students are currently submitting video book reviews that will be promoted on our new library VLOG page. In their English classes, students have been challenged to create a VLOG book review of a new or favorite book. We're giving students an opportunity to showcase their writing/presenting skills and hoping to promote reading as they do. Please check out this VLOG and keep checking back often, as new video book reviews will keep being posted throughout the summer.TECH to CHECK this summer.
Google Slides - New Feature
Google Slides now offers native support for audio files. You can now insert audio into your Google Slide presentations. First, you will need to save the file onto your Google Drive. Then go to your slideshow, click on "File" and "Insert Audio". You will then be able to control the timing of the audio playback, looping, and location of the audio icon on any slide. You can even hide the audio and still have it play when you transition to a slide.Google Sheets - New Feature
Did you know you can now add images into individual cells in Google Sheets. You can your own images, Internet images, icons, graphics, etc. It's a great way to add visual cues and resources for your visual learners, and it's a wonderful way to easily and visually organize your information. Just select Insert-Image-Image in Cell. You can even do this on your mobile device and upload any image you have stored there.
Remove BG
Remove.bg allows you to quickly and easily remove the background of images and icons. There does need to be a person or brand item centrally located in the image, but then it works like a charm. I really enjoy adding transparent graphics to slideshows, worksheets, newsletters, etc. Remove.bg makes it easy.
