YALSAblog | The official blog of the Young Adult Library Services Association Greetings, YALSA members and interested parties! The first month of the journey of this year’s presidential theme, Striving for Equity Using YALSA’s Teen Services Competencies for Library Staff is nearly over, and soon we will be looking at equity issues through the lens of each of the ten competencies. But before we move into August, I want to express appreciation to the many members and others who recently have taken the time to talk to me about what YALSA means to them, how YALSA could help them in their day job, and how fulfilling working with teens can be. All of this makes me full of gratitude. So before we move into the month-by-month examination of the theme, I decided to explore how in this time of inequity, outrage, and discord, gratitude can help break through the negativity and show us the path to achieving our goals. Diana Butler Bass writes about this subject in her book Grateful (HarperOne, ISBN: 9780062659477, 2018).

45 Virtual Field Trips (15 New Ones) On The "Let's Take A Trip Around The World Buncee Choice Board"! Our students are having so much fun visiting all kinds of places through the virtual field trips I added to the Let's Take A Trip Around The World Buncee. We are now up to 45 different virtual field trips as I added another page this morning. It's been great seeing all of the other places people have been sharing, so I spent some time adding some of those to this Buncee too. At the bottom of each page, users will see a little arrow pointing to the place to go back and forth between... Page 1, and 3. One tiny tip....Make sure you point out that they click on the little link in the upper right hand corner to go to the virtual field trips. Ohhhhh and have you seen this one....Hopper the Explorer! Also, I added three from Disney... ...two from 360 for Kids. I will continue to look for more and more virtual field trips to add to this Buncee. You will find the Let's Take A Trip Around The World Buncee here. Here is a QR code for students to scan with their devices.

Approaching a keyboard can be intriguing for students because they contain letters and numbers, items that little kids are learning about. Since the letters on the keyboard are out of their alphabetical order, locating letters can be time consuming task. I put colored tape on the left side of my students’ Chromebook keyboards to bring attention to each row of keys. I bought the tiny rolls of Scotch Expressions Washi Tape at Staples.
