The library media center at AUSL Wendell Phillips Academy High School supports the school's mission and technology integration in several ways: 1) Through the use of iPads and apps like iMovie, the library media specialist supports teachers and special projects like student videos on admissions, test prep, and community issues. 2) The library media specialist secured grants to purchase iPads and helped teachers attend Apple training to learn how to use the technology. 3) A student news program called "Behind the Paws" was created, along with social media accounts on Twitter and video channels, to share student work and recruit students.
