Library: Getting ready to visit college campuses, but not sure you can hit them all?  Want to make sure the visits you have planned are the right ones?  Do you have a smart phone, iPad, or VR glasses, because college visits have been taken to the next level.  Click on this link: http://bit.ly/WHSyouvisit and have a virtual tour guide show you around the campus and have the option of filling out an application as well.  Students are also welcome to check out one of our iPads for a virtual college visit during lunch as well.  Just have them ask the library staff how they can virtually tour a college campus, and we will send them on their way.

Digital Citizenship:   This month our Digital Citizenship is focused on Information Literacy:  the ability to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively.  From effective search strategies to evaluation techniques, students need to learn how to evaluate the quality, credibility, and validity of websites.  Watch this 2 minute video to review some of the key elements of website credibility with your student: http://bit.ly/evaluatein2min
