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.
