Welcome to . Please introduce yourself & share if you have any special Halloween traditions. https://t.co/8KjxlP1xZC

My take on print vs digital is students prefer print more often probably 75% of the time or more
-
I remembered! Jenn from Fort Wayne area. Kiddos love going to trunk-or-treat carnival events rather than door to door. Fun times!
-
I often ask students if they want an item they are asking for in ebook format and they would rather wait for a hold to come in
-
Media spec from intermediate/middle school in Indy. My main tradition is buying candy I don't like so I won't eat the leftovers
-
My name is Michelle Houser. My Halloween tradition includes eating more candy than I give out.
-
Oh forgot - my bad - Hi everyone, Diane from Indy here

Do you decorate your library for Halloween?

I don't decorate, but try to display more scary/thriller/paranormal books

Oops almost forgot...we also have a Halloween parade in town called the Calithumpian Festival on the last Monday in October.

Yes! HS Ss draped nets, spiders, skeleton door cover (scared myself), and few other things. Simple but fun.

Callithumpian refers to a band of discordant instruments or a noisy parade. It was first noted in America in 1836.

-
A1 Met new librarian does badges in HS library. Love new connections at conferences!
-
Decatur has a week of activities leading up to the parade. Everyone wears costumes and it's been going on for like 100 years.

If I have motivated student aides, they do.

A2. I decide based on funding and what my people want. Right now, we want print.

A2 Tough. Most say want print but also have little/no experience w dig. Also much research on how read difft digitally be paper

The imagineering guy was great, I agree. He reminded me why teaching is so fun, also so many connections to PBLs

A2 Based on need and purpose. I purchase NF in print & digital & Fic in print only. We also have multiple databases 4 research.

-
. I'd say this is where I lean. Have 1.5 yrs to give Overdrive as big push as can and see what happens.
-
. GALE's GVRL nonfiction is pretty great and integrates w google. MS Ts giving it a try.
-
I found it interesting in the article Susie highlighted that the author seems to not be the librarian anymore, it that correct?
-
. Too many distractions! Even I have trouble reading from phone/iPad. Plus đź‘€ skim digital
-
I am basing that on the dates, It made me wonder... I could just be assuming

Sorry, , must go. Time for the 3 year old to go to bed.

Q3: Final question: Did anything else stand out to you in the article about Cushing Academy? https://t.co/SsLuysKZUX
-
A3 Interesting how Ss & Ts didn't seem to jump right on board w print. Makes me wonder why
-
I only point that out because the article discussed how much trouble he had with some faculty
