Hunting for Books

Fourth graders are beginning the school year by polishing their searching skills. They need to be able to search for a book on our online card catalog, and then locate the book on the shelf. The iPads proved to be a perfect tool to accomplish this task.

The boys paired up, were given a scavenger book hunt to complete, and used the DestinyQuest app on our iPads to search for books. Because the iPads are a mobile device, the boys were able to take the card catalog to the shelves. No more forgetting the call numbers as they walked into the stacks, and no more writing the call number on scraps of paper.

In addition to being active practice, this book hunt proved to be a lot of fun too.
