·      I can create Pathfinders for your projects on the library Moodle course. The pathfinders can lead students to materials related to their projects, including: books, databases, and websites.

·      I have started a Professional Development Wiki. You are welcome to join the wiki and add content. http://cdsshprofessionaldevelopmentwiki.wikispaces.com

·      I am trying two new databases this year:

BrainPop:  I purchased a single classroom subscription of this simple lower/middle school video database, You can only use BrainPop from my school laptop in the library OR you can borrow the library laptop to use in your classroom with your projector. http://www.brainpop.com

Classroom Video on Demand: Video for high school students.
