Elkins Pointe Middle School

We have 6th grade classes coming in to the media center for an eBook Extravaganza! Our ESOL students will go online to look at our Capstone Digital Library in which the books can be read to the student to help increase English language skills and comprehension. Other students will be looking at our eBooks through Destiny, Destiny Quest, and Follett Shelf. We will be using the 16 desktop computers in the media center as well as the mobile laptop cart so that all visitors can create Destiny accounts and go online to explore our new eBooks!
We are also doing a school wide QR Code Treasure Hunt. Nine different QR Codes have been placed in random spots around the building for students who have BYOD permission to scan and visit pre-selected sites. Students who scan, find, and note at least 6 different sites can come to the media center for a treat.
I also found a Periodical Table that has QR codes on each of the elements. Our science teacher is going to allow BYOD students to scan elements and find out new information about them.
Finally, we are using our "Student Voice Wall" to allow students to share apps with each other. The wall is titled "Have a 'Appy Week" and students are drawing the icons of their favorite apps on the wall to share with other students. Photo to follow!
