Update Those Chromebooks (Please Pass It On)
One of the best things students can do to improve the security of their Chromebook and fix possible problems is to update the operating system. It isn’t hard to do and it takes about 2 minutes (or less). Here is a useful slide that Lance created a while back. Please share it with your students and encourage them to update whenever their computer tells them have a new update.
New LMC Databases from Cengage Gale
We have added Cengage Gale’s U.S. History in Context and World History in Context to our lineup of LMC databases. We have several other databases from the same company, so if you know how to use one of them, you will figure out the other ones really quickly. Plus, there is a special interface called Gale PowerSearch that allows you to search most of them all at once. All of our Gale databases are integrated with Google, so you can send material to Google Drive or Google Classroom.
New Reading Lists: Lincoln Award & We are 204
Every year, we like to promote the Lincoln Award Nominees list. The list is put together by a committee of high school librarians and high school students from across the state. Last year, we also worked with the other high school LMC Directors to create the first We are 204 list, a districtwide list that promotes titles that reflect the district’s diversity. Both lists have great books for high school students. We will be introducing a title a week, but here are both lists in case you are curious: Lincoln Award / We are 204.
