[aisle] Classes that are taught by the library department?

[Predny, Robin]

Good morning,
The library runs a class at our school for incoming freshmen that is done
remotely before school starts. It covers iPad use, digital citizenship,
copyright and fair use, cybersecurity, productivity, and information
literacy. We try to get all of our students on the same page since they
come from a wide variety of elementary schools, and we try to set the tone
for what we expect at the high school.

One course that I think would be perfect for the library to teach would be
the AP Capstone Program. It is the perfect course for a librarian to lead~
research!

I would love to hear more about other schools' experiences with this as
well.
Thanks for posting the question!
