Student Announcements: December 14, 2018

Attention all Carrboro Jaguars! Would you enjoy reading to elementary students? Does the terms "augmented reality" sound cool to you?  Do you want SERVICE LEARNING HOURS without leaving your school? Then look no further!

We are looking for students who would love to learn how to use simple digital tools to help reinvent how technology can be used with our youngest learners. Things you could create include:

  • Narrating an audio story with sounds telling students when to turn the page giving our youngest readers hundreds of books.

  • Developing an audio story in another language to give students access to English books narrated in their native languages.

  • Creating career pathway adventures for elementary kids to learn about careers in Virology, Photography, Painting, Engineer, and ER Veterinarians to list a few.


We need your help!!  There will be an informational session next week. Grab a quick lunch or bring it with you. Use the link below to sign up for a session in the Media Center.  Sign up here -->Narrating Stories and Earning Volunteer Service Hours!

For any questions, please see Mrs. Jayeola (Jah-yay-Hola) or Mr. MacArthur (Mack-R-thur) in the Media Center, or feel free to email them with questions [obalogun@chccs.k12.nc.us and tmacarthur@chccs.k12.nc.us].
