Wakelet is one of the most useful technology resources I have used in a long time. Wakelet allows you to curate and share:

• websites
• offline documents like PDFs
• images
• created texts
• FlipGrid videos
• saved Tweets
• Google Drive documents

It is free to use and students can create Wakelets, too. For students, it would be similar to a digital portfolio which makes it a great creation/presentation tool.

I had the pleasure of presenting how I use Wakelet at our California School Library Association conference last week. The Slides below are from that presentation.

You'll see some tutorials about Wakelet below that I'm calling The Basics. More tutorials will follow in next month's newsletter on how to take Wakelet to the next step.

Reach out if you'd like more PD on Wakelet. I'll be happy to share this with your departments, too!

Hold your phone's camera up to the QR codes below and you'll be taken directly to the Wakelet that I curate for your department.

Is your department not there? It's on the way!

These two videos will give you a preview of what I'll be showing you in the April library newsletter. But if you are interested now, let me know and I'll show you how it's done!

If you use or have students create timelines, give this timeline generator a try from ClassTools. Watch the 1 minute video to show you how it's done.

I've always wanted to try this website called FutureMe with students. If you give it a try, let me know their reaction! See the link below.

Please promote this new club to your students. I'm very excited to get this club underway! My vision of it would be:

• to promote reading and books campus wide
• to give students a voice in what books and resources are distributed through the library
• to establish a book club by teens, for teens.

The flyer below shows students how to contact me for details. But here is the link for the Google Form for interested students. https://forms.gle/TXpF8X6LKJwgjciPA

Use the Brain Game Choice Board below for those times when students get finished a little early, or use it as enrichment activities. The image is linked directly. I'll add more as I find them. Feel free to share the link or use it how you need to.
