CPS ReVITAL Grant

The CPS REVITAL program is managed by Chicago Public Schools:  Libraries.  Visit the program website at ReVITAL Grant.  Fifteen elementary and five high schools participate in this two-year program (2013-2015) that will demonstrate best uses of iPads and Chromebooks in the library.  The program is funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The grant has a really cool blog that highlights the work that the ReVITAL grant librarians are currently doing.  Check out our work at:  http://cpsrevital.blogspot.com/

Winner of the CPS ReVITAL Grant

Singer Pharrell's song, 'Happy' is the perfect song that expresses my feelings about a recent award I have received.  My students and I are HAPPY about receiving the CPS ReVital Grant for libraries!   Last week, a MacBook Pro and ten iPads were delivered to my Library Media Center and in a couple of weeks, the ChromeBooks will arrive.

There are so many ways this technology can be used at Phillips.  The video below is just a little snippet of how we will be using these digital devices to aide in instruction and help further advance students in the digital age.   Enjoy!
