Challenge is complete but the learning has just begun

Thank you to the South Dakota State Library for providing this challenge. With so many jobs to do in the school library, monitoring students on the computer, troubleshooting broken computers, troubleshooting printer issues, supervising students as they work on projects, mending books, cataloging, shelving, inventory, weeding. . . there is little time left for exploring the many resources available. With this challenge I was prompted to explore each week and become familiar with what is available. Now I will analyze what I have discovered, spread the word to teachers and students as they work on projects and hopefully get them to use these resources as well. I can make flyers promoting these resources which will be a take home reminder of how valuable these resources are, as well as post signs by computers, explaining how to get there. I have links on our library home page which is helpful too. Now off to do. . .

You've met the Challenge well, Denise! Thanks for participating!! Just a reminder--we have handouts available for most of the resources. Just click the blue box with the white "i" and look for "SDSL Libraries Guide." These are 2-page pdf handouts you can use with your students. Congratulations!! We look forward to hearing more great things from your library!
