Today Ms. Schwoerer and I went to the classes to talk about media literacy and finding credible sources. Ms. Schwoerer created a PowerPoint to show the students how to evaluate what they find. They had a blast especially with a funny video that has a rather silly but effective acronym to help them remember. She left the students with a bookmark that they glued into their history binders.

The next place the history class goes is ..... The Medieval World. I pulled some books and made a display. I pulled all the information for the visuals from the
J. Paul Getty Museum and made sure to highlight that. This is a trusted site for the students to use too in their own research and a great library resource for displays.
The Laguna Library is also a community space and will be used on Saturday for a district technology training. The library is kept clean and tidy but it is always good to do a little tweaking to the space to make sure it is ready. This is another reason to have space set aside for on going projects to keep the library tidy since it is a shared space.
Will continue with the medieval theme in another part of the library and hopefully get some of the student created artwork to go with it.
Also the winners of the photo contest were announced. The winners and all the photos entered were up on the board and voting began! The winners are below and all the pictures can be seen here:

Yes, Heather! It was a fun time spotlighting strategies for navigating the sea of information available to students 24/7. The teachers seemed to appreciate the "pop in" visit instead of taking time out of instruction to make the journey to the library. And, the students, they are still talking about it! The positive feedback has been overwhelming! Thank you for your flexibility and support too!
