I now turn to our membership to send me software picks that are curricular based as well as school or division focused. A curricular based software may be for example mathematics related, such as Mathletics or DreamBox. School or divisional software such as EBSCO, World Book or Discovery. I, in turn, will compile a list to be presented to the committee on November 30th</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">This is a fantastic opportunity for the library community to become involved in a great project that will bring equitable access to the forefront of the provincial agenda. I ask the membership also to apply to become a digital learning resource reviewer.</div>
