Tech Tool of the Week
So you probably know about TED Talks. But did you know about TEDEd? TEDEd is a educational website run by TED that allows you to browse a database of pre-written lessons and build a lesson plan around any TED Talk video. You can collaborate with other users to create a lesson by adding questions, further information, and guided discussion prompts to videos. Check out this lesson on Henrietta Lacks.
BCPL Resources
Also, the Randallstown branch offers a great series of programs called Randallsteen, after school homework help, and free meal programs for students age 17 and under. For more information, see the branch's complete calendar of events.
