Tuesday Tips from the Library

TECH TIP:  Flippity Scavenger Hunt Template

 

 Flippity is a great tool that easily turns content on a Google Sheet into things like flashcards, name pickers, crosswords and other games.  Their latest tool is one that makes Scavenger Hunts from a Google Sheets template that look like the screenshot below.  This is from the Demo Game, if you want to try it out.  

To make your own, you make a copy of the Scavenger Hunt template and then add in your own content and then when hit Publish to the Web, you will get a unique URL to share with your students.  Could be a good way to review material with your students. 

BOOK TIP:  There There by Tommy Orange

This book was recently named to Best Books of 2018 by The New York Times., but had been showing up on nearly all the best of lists that I've seen.  It is the story of modern Native Americans living in Oakland, CA.  Coming from multiple viewpoints, all who are going to attend the Big Oakland Powwow, their stories will combine and explode on that fateful day.  This book has been called galvanizing, extraordinary and masterful.
