What to Know@BVSD this Month!
LIBinar- First Come, First Serve Making
On Dec. 1, Denise Von Minden, Teacher Librarian at Flagstaff Academy, talked with us about her journey to integrate maker education into her library program and the tools and resources that have resonated with her students. If you were unable to attend in person you can watch our conversation on demand here.
LAC Notes
December’s LAC meeting took place on Dec. 6th and you can review meeting notes here.
Insignia HTML5 Testing Needed
We need TLs to test what will be Insignia V 8.0! We need to put the Admin interface changes through its paces to ensure it performs as expected. Please review this visual map of the interface changes between the Silverlight Version and the HTML5 provided by Insignia.
If we don't test we can't complain when we roll it out and it lacks features and functionality we require to maintain the workflows and efficiencies we have come expect. We ONLY need an hour of solid testing to get the feedback we need. Please contact Rae for directions to supply test feedback.

TLs with teachers participating in the cohort have been invited to join this cohort in a support and leadership role.

Interactive Flyer
Jon G. gave us the idea to create a Google Drawing to promote both print and OverDrive titles. We modified Jon's original image to create this interactive OverDrive flyer to promote professional titles. The image can be emailed, embedded into a website, blog, or school newsletter. If you would like to do something similar, click on the image below to make a copy and modify to your heart’s content.
