DTLs at AASL Conference
Avan Thayn and Angie Woodring attended the American Association of School Librarians conference and came back with lots of great ideas and innovative research strategies. The conference focused on diversity in collection development, inquiry learning, web tools, co-teaching, content curation, maker spaces, and more! Angie presented on innovative research using web tools, specifically utilizing ThingLinks. The district teacher librarians look forward to sharing this new knowledge and implementing it in our school libraries and future research projects.

History Day
The History Day theme this year is Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History. A History Day project is a chance for your students to learn more about a topic that interests them through scholarly research. Last year’s projects were impressive and incredibly diverse. There are three divisions for History Day. The primary division is for 4th and 5th grades. The junior division is for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The senior division is for 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Contest Categories include:
Historical Paper (Individual)
Exhibit (Individual/Group)
Performance (Individual/Group)
Documentary (Individual/Group)
Website (Individual/Group)
Schools will send their top three projects for each category to the district History Day on February 3, 2016. To learn more, contact a District Teacher Librarian at 801-737-7352.
