Feb. 2025 News
The month of February was busy in the Concord High School Media Center. 102 books were circulated over the course of the month with the top circulated title being a new book that was just added to the collection, Bad Like Us by Gabriella Lepore. 28 different classes came to the Media Center this month to participate in a variety of activities, including checking out books, working on creative projects, and learning about the research process. Numerous teachers started research projects this month, so we focused on using the CRAPPAY method to learn how to evaluate sources for academic use. Lastly, this month started the process of ensuring our students and staff are AI literate. Teachers attended a training, led by Miss Armstrong and Ms. Seaman, CHS’s School Library Media Coordinator and Instructional Technology Facilitator respectively. During this training, teachers received clarification on the different types of AI, on how to talk to their students about AI, on how to teach AI literacy, and they spent time brainstorming ideas on how to leverage AI to improve the eduaction of our students. The students were then taught about AI and CHS’s expectations for ethical AI usage in homeroom on February 26. In order to get more information on ethical AI usage at CHS, see the student handbook and the AI section of the Media Center webpage.
