1. I knew there were a lot of resources in the databases because Julie and Lee was out and presented our staff with a mini workshop. We just scratched the surface. Even now, every time I look at some of these databases I find new exciting things all the time. The Learning Express is one that I really got excited about. I did not realize that there were that many ebooks for teachers and students to use. The Learn and Search teachers will be really excited to learn to also. I also took time to learn more about the genealogy databases. I still didn't scratch the surface with all the resource that are there. Thanks for a very interesting tour.
2. Most of the English classes at Central use the databases for research. Some teacher tell the student that they have to use them for their research papers rather than an internet source. I coll orate with these teachers and we usually have a short presentation when they are ready to use them. We have a lot of new staff so I will be sharing the news with them. I am also going to try and expand to other department that seem to use only internet. We love the databases at Central and it really helps a tight budget to have them at the State Library. Thanks again.
Thank you, Central, for meeting the Challenge! We are so pleased to have you with us! We're glad for your discoveries. Teaching the databases when students need them is a great way to get them on the right track. Your idea to work with other departments and teach the new teachers is excellent!! CONGRATULATIONS on completing the Challenge!! Now, take a bow!
