Digitalized


Ever since we rolled out our 1:1 iPads to our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students, I have been very busy in the classrooms helping the students learn to log in and check out books from M.I.S.D.'s Digital Library.
I don't think our students know just how good they have it! The Mesquite Independent School District has one of the BEST Digital Libraries in the country! Which is totally free to them too! All they need is their school I.D. a computer or a personal device and they are golden! They literally have the library in the palm of their hand.  Our digital library has audiobooks, digital reads, and Disney interactive books. Parents can also contact me and set up a personal account.
There are some awesome features such as putting books on hold if it isn't available, creating wish lists, and searching by genre or special collections such as Texas Bluebonnet Books and Texas Lonestar Books. I'm very excited about introducing this to our students and watching them continue their joy for reading outside of school and in their classrooms on their new iPads!
Are you a parent interested in checking out books from our digital library? Contact Ms. Reynolds and she will get you set up! lreynolds@mesquiteisd.org
