Media Minutes
Great info you might just be able to use
Smore
I'm writing this using Smore. It's an online flyer/newsletter/information creator. You do need an email to sign up for the free account, but a class/educator subscription is around $40 a year. Something to think about if it's used a lot. At any rate, you design your flyer or newsletter and publish. Drop and drag are heavily featured...I love that! www.smore.com
Libraries and Autism Class starts 10/1
If you are interested in this course, let Jen know by 9/29. It's entirely online in Edmodo. Low pressure. No cost.
Non-Fiction Presentation
Debbie M. and Anne Jones are working with me on a presentation for ELA on selection of nonfiction titles. If you have any amazing nonfiction titles that you highly recommend, send the titles to me, Debbie M. or Anne for including in the presentation!

Media Minutes
If you have any great media minutes that you want to share with each other, you can post them in the new media minutes small group in Edmodo. I know that each of you provide great stuff for your staff each month and all year long and sharing with each other can be a great thing! Why reinvent the wheel when someone may have the info out there for you! (image: https://classic.regonline.com/custImages/270000/274456/ProDev%20Logo%202.jpg)
Coding
Anyone interesting in Coding?
Code.org (of which I am a huge fan) has new resources available for students. There is a one hour of code challenge that would be great to encourage students to try. Thoughts bubbling around in my head include maybe creating a flyer for it to send home or opening the library for kids to do an little bit before school or during lunches or flex period. Then maybe having them bring their certificate (that shows they completed their hour) in for a photo op and creating a bulletin board. Just thinking and brainstorming. Do you have any ideas?
