Welcome to the IHS Media Center!
2015-2016
Vision Statement
Class Schedule:
The remainder of the schedule (every Thurs. & Fri.) will be open for *sign-ups or open media center time to any classroom teacher. This will allow teachers to work with students on small and large assignments that may require books from the collection or the integration of technology (websites, databases, etc.).
*If you are interested in bringing your classes to the media center on a Thurs. or Fri., please send me an email or stop by the media center, so we can schedule a time. Below are some sample lesson plan ideas for any subject or grade level. We can also develop a lesson plan that is specific to your subject area. The possibilities are endless!
