Teen Tech Week 2018

Theme- Libraries are for Creating

March 5^th – 9^th

Teen Tech Week is a week where we celebrate technology in all its forms. We encourage people to participate in activities that incorporate computers, MP3’s, eReaders gaming, etc. Please help me celebrate Teen Tech Week by participating in the use of computers or other technologies. Let me know if you need any help or ideas. I would love to know about any lessons you will be doing to incorporate technology that week.

Lunchtime Activities

The students that wish to participate will need to sign up on the Escobedo Library blog found at: https://bacace.edublogs.org/. Space is limited to 16 students per lunch. They will be able to eat lunch in the library each day. A lottery system will be used to select participants. The winners’ names will be posted on the library doors Friday, March 2^nd. Wednesday, February 31^st will be the last day for students to sign up.

We will focus on creating things in the library during the course of the week. Lunch will be closed to students that have not signed up and do not have their names on the daily list posted on the library doors.
