- Esther worked with her enrichment facilitator, Gwen, and 7th grade reading teacher, Janeen, on a O. Henry scavenger hunt. Students worked in groups with iPads & a link to Google Docs questions. Example clues: "Tom Brady will throw it your way"- code inside biography of Tom Brady, "Look under the first president"- code underneath picture of George Washington. Results: answers ready for teacher to grade & "not only did the students learn about O.Henry, but they also reinforced library search skills, learned to work cooperatively in groups and were exposed to the new technology of QE codes while getting use to the iPads...it was a successful lesson all around." ~ Esther Andrle
