WHAT’S NEW

The Credo Blog

Happy spring! Last month, we learned more about educational technology, including eight reasons students need technology in the classroom and three things you should consider before investing in online learning tech. In addition, we found out which professional development topics are currently trending in higher education, plus we picked up some strategies for using social media for library promotion.

It’s spring in the northern hemisphere, which means it’s prime time to help the bee and butterfly populations, especially in urban areas, while helping reduce our own physiological and psychological stress.

As we strive toward a more perfect union, it’s worth taking the time to understand what systemic and institutional racism is and how to act as an antidote.
