Teen Tech Week

We will be celebrating Teen Tech Week in the library next Monday through next Friday, because our lives are full of amazing technology that we are able to use for fun and for school. This week, students were introduced to a contest, in which students are busy reviewing books on Destiny in order to be entered to win a small technology related prize!  No telling what the prize is, but the more books you review, the more times your name will be entered.  Also, don't forget that your review must be at least three sentences long!

Also, check out the Technology We Like bulletin board in the library.  The post-its are taking over the wall! What technology will be crowned as favorite of the middle school?  You will have to check out the bulletin board during Teen Tech Week to see for yourself.

Finally, check out the middle school showcase for some books to help teach you about some the different types of technology that we use.

Plug it in, Plug it in

How many things that you use everyday need to be plugged in at one point or another?  I'm guessing the number is higher than you expected.  If we traveled back forty years and asked people the same question, I'm guessing their numbers wouldn't be quite as high as ours.  Today, a large amount of the objects we use involve some kind of technology that needs to be plugged in either to operate or to recharge.  Technology is changing the world we live in.  This is also true here at Fairfield; Changes are coming to the library!  A new initiative at the library is focused on being "plugged in" and embracing technology!  I'm excited for you to share in the changes that are coming.
