A good library orientation can make the rest of the year easier for students and teachers, as well as for you and your staff. Make it fun and the facts will be more memorable. This year, the Guybrarian is using the scavenger hunt method, with a few tech twists.

"What did you do this summer?" We've come up with 10 methods to use when answering that question which will allow your students to share the richness of their summer experiences. These activities just might help teachers and classmates to better know, understand and appreciate each other, as well.

Aurasma is an augmented reality tool which allows you to overlay images and videos on to static content, sort of like "QR codes on steroids." The Guybrarian has incorporated it into his back-to-school library orientation plan, and thinks you should too.
