Welcome back Students and Teachers

Another school year is upon us at HERH, and I would like to be among the first to welcome you back. Please feel free to ask me for assistance, whether it be books to order, help with researching your assignments or help with your computer problems, etc. I have a strong interest in technology.  Please feel free to bring in your latest electronic devices for me to look at...maybe we can push for greater usage of them..

As for sites of interest, I very highly recommend Ted Talks and Khan Academy.  Ted Talks for interesting, inspiring talks by fascinating people.  Khan Academy consists of thousands of videos providing help in various skills in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and History.  The education world has flipped, homework being watching these videos followed by discussion in class. Take a look, tell your teachers! Tell me about great websites you have found and how social media might be better put to use at HERH.

Also, I would like to remind you of Ebsco and Infotrac, electronic databases that are available for your educational needs. They also include many periodicals you might be interested in for your day to day use. Time, Macleans, Sports Illustrated, etc.  For further information feel free to contact me.

Have a great year!!
