Internet Archive - What is it?
"The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format." -archive.org/about/
The Internet Archive has many FREE resources that can be used in and outside the classroom such as video, audio, text, and web. I'm just going highlight the audio section where you can download audio books, old radio broadcasts, poetry, and other creative works.
For example here are twelve Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in Audio mp3 format: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
I recommend you check it out and see what you can find.
They also archive webpages, some are recorded further back than others. Here is the GLPS's website from Oct 14th, 2008: Godfrey Lee Public Schools website from 2008 .

Enjoy.
Tech Updates:
The wireless survey over the break highlighted areas that have low signal strength. We know where we need to add access points and are making plans in the future to make that happen. Some areas are easier than others to deploy an access point.
With the Maintenance Department joining the Support Portal, I've been trying to streamline the ticket requests. Over the next few weeks some options will be deleted or added. Feedback appreciated.
