A Note from the Five Palms Library
Feeling Scienc-y?We've subscribed to the TCEA blog called TechNotes. You should too. They recently posted this article about Five Interactive Tools for Learning the Periodic Table. You've got to have a look at it. This brought to our mind the idea that you could have your science scholars create some interactive periodic tables with a tool like Google Slides or Thinglink. If you're interested in doing such a thing, ask us how. We'd love to help! A Word from South San High LibraryStudents have been working on makerspace projects with 3D Doodler and Strictly Briks. Library office aides also created a turkey decoration made out of two discarded library books based on instructions provided in the video below:

Mystery HangoutsA mystery hangout is a video chat between two classrooms that can be anywhere in the world. This video conference between students can be set up in a variety of ways, but it's often organized as a game of 20 Questions in which students try to determine where the students on the other end are located. It's a really cool way to embed curricular concepts like weather studies, language studies, geography, history, and so much more. One little note...you may use any platform you choose, such as Skype, but it's commonly called a "Mystery Hangout." If you're interested in learning more, take a look at this Smore that highlights the basics, visit the #mysteryhangouts hashtag on Twitter, or watch the following YouTube video intro. It's full of great ideas! Also take a look at the Google Hangouts Guide for Teachers. If you'd like to try this out, let me know. I'd love to be a part of the fun.
