A fun feature that was just added to our catalog is the word NEW displayed in bright red so it can't be missed. It has been placed by the most recent items added to our collection. All titles now have an icon so you can identify what format you would like to order. A VHS tape, DVD disc, a green Globe for streaming Power Media, and a red block with M for NROC more streaming titles.  Also, all items are now sorted by default to bring up the newest release date to the top of any search-result list.

Check out the time-saving list of chosen topics on the Feature Media Items (that’s the first page that opens the Library section) odie.esu10.org  Each topic has been handpicked and timely displayed, i.e. holidays, seasons, monthly news, etc. This great feature will help save you time from having to search.  Those items are ready for you to reserve and help you go on to your next task at hand! 

Have you noticed that our catalog is constantly being updated? We have just added approximately 170 new titles. We still have all the classics mostly on VHS, reserved some 'older goodies' that have maintained high usage, and purged all items that were out-dated or unused.  If you don’t find your favorite item, it may have been replaced with something newer, better and brighter and it will be on DVD or possibly streamed. Even though our VHS collection has reduced in size, our DVD collection has tripled and takes up less space.  Did you know that we download several new titles quarterly in Power Media Plus? See the Featured Media Items for the list of subjects that we just added to PMP.

Those first-year teachers may need a little assistance on setting up an ODIE account along with finding material on the catalog.  Why not contact us to help you with that? We are always willing to visit your school to give a free 30 min ODIE training.  To set up a time that would work best for you, call Susan Sandoval at 308-237-2280 or email her at ssandova@esu10.org

If you have a new teacher at your school that would like to be a part of our Fine Arts Community here at ESU 10, have them log into this community (http://finearts.esu10.org) with their ODIE account!  That is IT! 

If they don't have an ODIE account, have them go to https://odie.esu10.org/accounts/NewAccountRequest.aspx.  There they can fill out the form requesting the account! 

Happy 2010-2011 School Year!

If you are looking to get into some interactive whiteboards, this promotion might work well for you and your school. Please share this with your administrators.


Promethean is offering a promotion for schools new to Promethean. It is called the Try before you Buy promotion. A school would be eligible to try out the ab+2 unit (like the one you have at the esu) and expressions for 60 days. If they like the equipment, the school can purchase for 1/2 price. If the equipment is not exactly what the school wanted, they can return the equipment at no cost to them.



If you are interested, contact the Promethean salesman:

Check it out!  Looks like eBay for education!  This is a new site so there aren't too many things here yet.  Might be worth a try if you are planning to spring clean!  http://www.hootofloot.com

I just came across this little jem. 

http://www.pictaculous.com/

This site allows you to upload an image and then presents you with a color palette to use in coordination with the image.

This is useful for web design, but also photoshop.

Enjoy

I was just sent this by the distance learning department.  This is fantastic!  Check it out!
How can we do this in Nebraska?  How can we use this school for our benefit?  How can this be applied to the visual arts?
