We are excited about our new carpet and paint, but also about our new media stations. We now have four TVs set up for screen sharing in the Library and Portal. Students can work in small groups and share the screens using AirPlay. Here you see Mr. Boswell's 6th graders being the first to try out our mobile media cart as they plan a group presentation about our library's databases.
