TECH TIP:  VideoNot.es

Video Notes is website that allows you (or students) to watch a video on one side of the screen and record their notes on the video on the other side.  You put in any link to a YouTube or some other online video and then start taking notes on the right hand side.  The notes are automatically time-stamped to the section of the video.  If you log in with your Google Account, all the notes you take go right into your Google Drive.  You can also share the notes via email by hitting the Share button.  A great way to incorporate video into homework assignments.


 BOOK TIP:  Popular:  Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek by Maya Van Wagenen

 This book is the 2015 Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Non-Fiction Book Award winner.  The author was an 8th grade outcast, a geek, a loser.  She decided to try to become popular and change her social status by following the "rules" from the 1950 book Betty Cornell's Guide to Teenage Popularity to guide her to popularity.  A memoir of acceptance and insight into teen society.
