TexQuest Databases

The Texas State Legislature provides databases for free to Texas Public Schools. What a great resource for you and your students when doing research! To access the databases go to http://nbisdlmc.weebly.com/ and click the TexQuest icon. These are Gale databases that you can search all at once or one at a time. Within the articles, you can bookmark or download the information for later. I will happily come give your classes a lesson on using the databases if that will help!

App of the Week - Tellagami

Love this app! It lets you add an audio message to a background picture. The possibilities for this app are endless. Here are a few that I made that are library based:

Spine Poem

Book Talk

The free version only lets you record a 30-second message which means scripting and word choice are essential. Get it from the App catalog and try it out!
