This is How We Stay Connected!

BLUE BELL: BBE is playing a game “Where did the Blue Shark go?” Principal Lupo posts a picture twice a week and students guess where their mascot is. The next day, Dr. Lupo shares facts about the monument.

SHADY GROVE: SGE students participated in the Point A to B Challenge. They created videos documenting how they get something (maybe even themselves) from Point A to Point B. The challenge symbolizes the journey we are all taking during this time.

WHS: Student officers of the Wiss Bullet Journaling Club, Helen and Ella Chang, created a challenge for students to design their own doodles - @Wissbujo.

We are so proud of Janice Conger, WMS Librarian, who was featured as the April Microsoft Educator Expert and Trainer.

As a librarian, a Pennsylvania Keystone Technology Innovator(KTI), an SE Regional Board Member for Pennsylvania

Association for Educational Communication and Technology (PAECT), a Co-Chair of the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association’s (PSLA) Teaching and Learning Committee, and co-moderator of #PALibChat, she is an extremely involved educator.

Not one day in the library and makerspace is exactly alike and the one tool that Mrs. Conger relies on in both spaces is Microsoft OneNote. OneNote not only allows the Wissahickon Middle School Library to be open 24/7; it gives learners information on design challenges, how-to videos, author interviews, and an outlet for students to answer questions and journal about their makerspace experiences. The Middle School Library OneNote is the key to the library kingdom!
