Session Spotlight!
Check out this session featuring Ellen Stolarski and Erin Halovanic.

POWER forward with the resources you have! Making the Most of OER Commons.
Librarians are masters of making it work, but sometimes we forget to leverage the fabulous resources we have. This session will share how to make the most of POWER Library's new OER hub to find amazing standards aligned lessons, share what lessons are working in our space, and help our teachers leverage the state resources we have!
