SD52 launches Virtual Learning Commons Portal

 


There's an evolution taking place in the information relay for School District 52, with a new support system just introduced for the School District community to make use of.

The Virtual Library Learning Commons has been introduced through the School District 52 website, offering up a glimpse as to how the District hopes o extend its reach beyond the walls of the library and into the classroom and the community.

The opening page offers a range of options for those wandering through the site, from a look at the School Library Catalogue to quick links to further information featuring a wide area of topics from a number of sources.


Further into the portal you can explore the Virtual Makerspace which offers a number of tools to spur on the creative streak in everyone.

The Virtual Commons also offers up stops at the libraries of elementary schools and PRMS, with the CHSS and Pacific Coast areas still under construction.

If you go deep enough into some of the areas you can stumble on some interesting themes, with the PRMS page featuring a number of themes including a Virtual Calm Room for when you just need some relaxation time.

The Virtual Calm room offers up number of soothing
experiences to explore
