Student Cards
by Anna Curtis 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Hi, I'm interested in setting up library cards for students enrolled in the public school system. I know there are several libraries that have already done this, and I have some questions about the logistics of this process. Do you have restrictions on these cards? How did you go about setting them up? Did you give the students physical cards? etc. Any insight you are able to provide me is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Anna M. Curtis, Director Eaton Rapids Area District Library 220 S. Main Street Eaton Rapids, MI 488

MeL Minute: The Value of MeL to Michigan's K-12 Community
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

[MeL favicon: a white M on a striped background]The Value of MeL to Michigan's K-12 Community The Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/az.php> has always been a valuable resource for the K-12 community. Now, more than ever, the eResources in MeL<https://mel.org/az.php> offer teachers and students the ability to access a wealth of multimodal information in ways that can support distance learning as well as face-to-face instruction. In the past 16 months, MeL training has been delivered in over 75 school districts, ISDs/RESAs/RESDs, and education-related conferences both in person and virtually. Additionally, over 750 educators throughout the state have completed one or more of the 4 Edupath's courses<file:///C:/Users/BreedL/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/LP48A2FN/bit.ly/Edu_paths> that have been published in the past 8 months. These courses offer introductory knowledge of MeL eResources, identify early literacy resources that can be accessed for instruction, show teachers how to move individual databases to their own websites and guide teachers through content relevant to career, college and military preparation. Not only do teachers earn free SCECHs by completing these courses, they share the benefits of learning about MeL: "I love all the resources for my school and students in early literacy. We lost so many with budget cuts, and MeL is filling in those gaps!" -Library-Media Specialist "I am most excited about using PebbleGo with my youngest students because it can be so difficult to find quality options for them to start their digital literacy. They come to us not even knowing how to use a mouse or a keyboard, and they must leave us able to type testing answers within three years! Any resource we can use that gets them on a regular computer is an amazing way to get them engaged in the process." -Jennifer F. "Going to online, remote learning thanks to the virus, I see this as invaluable not only to myself, but to all teachers in my building. For me to teach PE online is going to be a struggle to find something valuable that actually has meaning to them. This will give kids resources to produce their own workouts, look up nutrition info, etc. . . .things that pertain to their real-life situation." --Eric C. K-12 Curriculum eResources & Distance Learning MeL has eBooks, images, video clips, audio clips, magazine articles, biographies, primary source documents, science experiments, newswire articles from around the globe, test-prep resources, skill-building resources, and SO much more to support our K-12 students in and out of the classroom. The advantages to accessing these eResources through MeL are numerous: * Permalinks can be copy/pasted for easy retrieval or used with any Learning Management System. * Content can be dropped directly into Google Classroom or Google Drive. * Citation is included with all content-even images and video. * All articles in HTML format can be translated and have audio, allowing for more accessibility. * Thousands of full-text eBooks are available (and linkable) for all grade levels-even the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series! * MeL eResources are FREE to EVERYONE in Michigan! Brought to you by Ann Kaskinen of the MeL Team. Supporting Michigan Libraries by Putting You First. Want more information on MeL?
