[Dcmosls] TeachingBooks

[Charles O'Bryan]

Hi all,

TeachingBooks.net<http://TeachingBooks.net>
I am passing along the following message because TeachingBooks requested our help.  The DCMO BOCES’ schools and libraries are currently leading the state in non-use of TeachingBooks!  What an unfortunate honor.
It is completely your prerogative whether TeachingBooks fits into your teaching style and pedagogy.  But since DCMO BOCES SLS purchases access for each of your districts, it would at least serve you well to get it into the hands of your technology directors, curriculum specialists, reading and general education teachers.
Please send full name, title, and email address to accounts at teachingbooks.net<mailto:accounts at teachingbooks.net>: these could be ELA, Reading, Library, Technology, Curriculum colleagues.
TeachingBooks.net<http://TeachingBooks.net/> will only use this contact information to support your TeachingBooks.net<http://TeachingBooks.net/> license. Local liaisons will receive the monthly Conduit for License Coordinators email, and offers for complimentary trainings, support of your reading lists, and customization for your license. TeachingBooks' goal with this request is to support and train your library staff, ELA staff, your reading coaches, your administrators -- anyone who would like to connect to books and authors with K-12 multimedia resources in all content areas.
FAQ:
DCMO BOCES School Library System (SLS) provides free access to TeachingBooks.net<http://TeachingBooks.net/>, an online, K-12 resource with multimedia author and book resources, to every teacher, student, and family throughout the region.
