Mission

To give the library expanded access to information in a digital format that increases students ability to learn.

About

Cherise Marshall, Debbie Leifsen and Tiffany McCormick are sourcing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math content at a middle-school level, in a format that leverages the iPad technology that every student already has.

  • Through a careful selection process we were able to find eBooks for the most challenging cases. Now my time is better spent finding ways to integrate this content into the curriculum so that my students can achieve the goal of literacy in every subject.
