. During the book fair this week I was talking to some of our volunteers about the old "card catalog" and how it was somewhat cumbersome to use. Flash forward to 2016 and it's awesome to see students using the computer catalog with such success! Even 2nd graders are learning how to look up and find a book. The older students have it down cold and have progressed to putting books on "hold". If the book has a waiting list (Think Minecraft or Smile.) And yes, those gaming skills are coming in handy as students navigate screens, click on links, and use their accumulated technology skills to drill down through data to find what they want. And as a bonus, they help each other, as their naturally kind selves. I'm amazed every day with what they learn and can do.
