This is the area where I am working at this time. I have several safety and copyright lessons that I use to discuss both of those areas. I do work with our special needs teachers to promote the library for the blind materials and audio books. I explain to high school students that they must cite any material, digital photo, or music that they use in their work at school. I direct them to online citation sites for help in creating the appropriate bibliographies. We do connect, through distance learning, to England once a month. The first grade students are becoming friends with their sister school and have shared an american football with them. We received an English (soccer) football. Another great little distance learning lesson was Christmas around the world.
