We will promote eReader checkouts -- we have more than 120 students who have checked out Nooks from our media center so far this year -- and will provide small prizes for those who complete a contest quiz. We also give prizes for those who receive a winning bookmark during the week.

We will hightlight teen's using tech in our high school library media center by posting the various Web 2.0 projects students have completed this year on the the school's website, and particpating in the school wide BLOG : How do you learn with technology? Also, examples of  how our teachers have utilized technology in the classroom will be collated into a video produced by the students. This is a continuation of the technology intiatives we have integrated into all aspects of the curriculum here at Westwood NJ HS Media Center

Students will receive emails explaining how to access our online research databases and inviting them to stop by the library. Students who come to the library and mention the email will receive a mini box of Nerds candy and will be offered assistance with accessing the databases.

We will be hosting a "Please Touch Tech Museum" with gadgets and equipment our teens have probably not seen before, running a Pinterest board contest and offering jewelry tools and discarded tech parts to make earrings, pins and necklaces.

We're having a Technology Garden all week. We've chosen some interesting apps and websites to highlight, and using our iPads, laptops, and computers, we've created stations throughout the library that students and staff can visit to explore each one. By circulating through the stations and checking out the different items, we hope that we can get patrons excited about technology and what it has to offer.
