WHS Library, Chrome, and Canvas Corner

Canvas: As the semester winds down, here is a helpful reminder:  The Beaverton City Libraryoffers trained volunteer Homework Helpers (http://bit.ly/wcclshomework) on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. We do recommend that students call the Teen Desk at 503.350.4001 to check ahead for availability. Additionally, through the Washington County Cooperative Library Services, we also offer Brainfuse, a free live tutoring service (http://bit.ly/wcclshelpnow).  Links for Homework Help are always posted on the All Students Canvas page.

Library:  What do you need to think about when choosing a college? How do you pay for it? How do you prepare for college in high school and middle school. If you missed the last *College Hacks* hands-on workshop, WCCLS is offering another where teens and tweens will learn about college fit, receive tips for paying for and finding funding for college, and gain information on what they can do now to prepare for life after high school. Youth will leave with resources to continue their college preparation and planning at home. For more information, click here:

Digital Citizenship:  When attempting to determine truth from falsehood online, many of us ask this question:  what have others said on the topic?  Thus, the product review was born.  But how can we determine if the product review is from a real consumer?  The next time you want to validate either a company, or the reviews made about it, try this resource:  http://bit.ly/fakespot18  You'd be surprised how many products fail the test.
