Please note we welcome all your ideas as students, staff, employees, and faculty.  We want to support you in your journey of learning and educating, as we all do both daily.  Feel free to contact us with your questions and ideas.  If you have any EduStation concepts you would like to see implemented I would love to hear them!

Learning should feel limitless…

Enjoy this snowy April Thursday & Happy National Library Week from all of us at the Mildred Johnson Library!

National Library Week 2013

Good morning, Students, Staff, Faculty, and Administration!

Happy National Library Week to you!

All of you as current employees and/or students are eligible to register to win the Nook Simple Touch Reader. Simply come to the Library anytime starting today, Tuesday at 1:00, to Friday at 4! Stay as little or as long as you like. All you have to do is quickly visit 6 EduStations promoting learning tools at stations.

What are the EduStations you ask? Great question! EduStations are various stations with various learning tools, some simple like a portable easel, some big like the Apple TV and iPads. Either way they are the beginning of many stations to come that facilitate and supplement learning. They are driven by you the learner in conjunction with you the educator.

Students and Faculty – The stations are set up as curriculum-based learning tools to assist in your journey at NDSCS and further support that “You Belong Here”. You have input to the station. Would you like certain apps for your classes? Is there a board game that reinforces learning in your curriculum area? Are there models you would like the library to purchase to be available to students during library hours to extend what you already have or supplement what you don’t? Staff and students alike can use the Apple TV and iPads Station for small group discussion allowing you to mirror the iPad to the TV monitor to utilize apps, share a presentation, etc.

Wahpeton & Fargo Staff, Faculty, and Administration– This is also for you! Mango is showcased. Mango is an interactive language program with 44 languages that allows you to log in from anywhere with your library card and has unlimited simultaneous users allowing you to cross off “learn a foreign language” on your bucket list.

If you would like a tour, ask for Tina and I will give you one if I am available Tuesday at 1:00 through Friday at 4:00!

The EduStationsare just in their beginning and YOU have input into where they go! We welcome your input: put your ideas on the survey, call me, email me, stop by…we are waiting to hear from you!

Come join us to celebrate!!

From Gooroo's Pro-Magnon Kitchen - The Barnes & Noble Review  This looks like it would be fun to adapt.  Everyone loves to eat, and maybe our Culinary Arts folks could use it in the Red River Inn for a fun meal!
