First, I am happy to announce that the newest version of Follett Destiny is now operational throughout the district. Although you will not visually see much of a difference, our updated catalog is now cloud based. Please access the new link titled MPS Follett Destiny located under the Recommended Websites tab at this blog, or by pasting https://isd413.follettdestiny.com in your browser. You can also reach the new catalog through the Media Center Department section of the Marshall Public Schools website. Please remember to save this new url address to your favorites, and share this information with your students.
Makerspaces are coming to the Marshall Middle School Media Center this month. What is a makerspace? A makerspace is a small station where learners are able to create, tinker, experiment and learn about varied interests. The focus is on "student choice", and includes many projects with a STEM connection. In the beginning, the Middle School Media Center will develop makerspaces on different topics, but as the concept develops the choices will be more student driven. This month's stations will include origami, erector sets, and puzzles. Stay tuned for updates through the blog. The links below offer more information on makerspaces in education.
