New Technology from the Library

New Graphic Novel Collection

STRHS Library Newsletter

There are also some great free

resources out there for stu-

dents. Quizlet is a great study

tool for vocabulary quizzes.

Students can create their own

flash cards and study games.

If you are tired of losing flash-

drives, Dropbox gives you

2GB of online storage space.

You can store your documents

and access them anywhere

there is an internet connection.

The Library Media Center

strives to provide the latest

technology to enhance your

lessons and teach 21st Century

skills to the students of STRHS.

To that end we’ve invested in

some new technology that will

be available for your class-

room. Soon, you will be able

to check out a laptop, projec-

tor, and ELMO for a chapter or

unit. There’s no need to trek

the equipment to and from the

library everyday– it’s yours for

a couple of weeks.

Not sure how it works? Check

out http://

www.elmoacademy.com/100-

Way-To-Use-A-Document-

Cameras.pdf for ideas on how

to integrate this technology

into your classroom.

In addition, STRHS has sub-

scribed to EasyBib.com cita-

tion tools. This subscription

allows students to easily store

their citations for multiple pro-

jects in one place. With our

subscription, students can also

use a note taking feature to

add notes to their sources,

create an outline, and connect

sources to their thesis. There

is also a function that checks

the authenticity of websites

and guides students to evalu-

ate sources on their own.

Once students create an ac-

count, they can use the coupon

code STGRSD to access these

features.

you to another world.

Whether you’ve been a long-

time fan of graphic novels or

you’ve never read one before

check out the new collection

including V for Vendetta,

Death Note, and Maximum

Ride.

Did you know that graphic

novels can increase literacy

skill and build vocabulary?

While for many years, comic

books have been dismissed a

waste of time, libraries today

encourage students to read

graphic novels.

STRHS has a growing collec-

tion of graphic novels, includ-

ing manga. If you’ve never

read a graphic novel before,

you might be surprised at how

challenging it is. The plots are

complex, the characters multi-

faceted, and settings will take

Special points of interest:

See the attached list of all new

book, DVD, and technology pur-

chases

If there are books, videos, or

other media items you need for

class, please let me know via e-

mail or in person.

Please remind your students to

sign in at the desk in the library

if they are coming from your

class.

Are you looking for ideas on how

to integrate technology into your

lessons? Let’s collaborate on

ways to integrate 21st century

skills into the classroom.
