iPad 2s have arrived!

The iPad just made its debut in our Freshman Seminar classes. Our students are learning many different productivity apps, including iAnnotate PDF, which has allowed the students to annotate documents used in class. Other free and purchased apps for these Classroom iPads include: Evernote, Quickoffice, Notes Plus, Shakespeare in Bits, ShowMe, Google Books, Overdrive and more. During a recent "Orientation to the iPad" lesson taught by yours truly, the librarian, we took photographs of ourselves and our peers and imported them into the app Popplet Lite to create character maps. Students can now translate the skills that they learned and create maps based on characters in books.

Feeling ILL?

Do you know what ILL is? Well, it doesn't stand for ill, but it is pretty sick. Ba-dum-DUM-TSH! ILL stands for interlibrary loan. Have you ever wanted a book that we don't have in the library? Have you ever found an article that you need for research, but only have access to the abstract? Need the full text? You can request the book or the article on the Mepham High School Library homepage, by clicking on the "ILL" tab on the left-hand side. Interlibrary loan allows us to borrow books and articles from other libraries. Request are processed in a day and we usually have the item in a few days. Just another great service offered to you by your school library.
