[aisle] Library lessons

[Christine Wilson]

This week I'm doing a virtual lesson teaching how to check out e-books from
the public library (ies). In presenter mode, I take them to the District
website where we have a link to the student virtual learning 'hub'. From
there, there are links to get to the libraries (kids in our school district
are in 3 different library districts 😁). So I take them to the one most of
them are in, and walk through searching for a book in their catalog, and
searching in Overdrive, Hoopla and Illinois Digital, which are the apps
that library has. We talk about downloading the book to their Chromebooks,
and using the Chromebook like a tablet. We also talk about holds. In
addition, our libraries are offering virtual library cards, until people
can come in to get a hard copy. Some of the libraries are doing curbside
pickup, and we talk about that.  I probably should have broken it into 2
lessons, but got it into 1.

Next week I'll do a refresher on this, and after that, the teachers mainly
look to me for stories...

Good luck! Bet you never knew you were going to be a music teacher! 🙃
