Freshmen library orientation, if anything else, should be straight up interesting. First impressions are the best (and most lasting) ones, so it is up to us to create relationships day one of meeting the first freshmen class that comes in. Last year, I did a meme powerpoint, which the students absolutely loved! I am going to use this again, but I thought I'd also create something else for the little time I have left afterward.
My creation?
10 Things to Know About the Library web list. But it isn't just any list....it's set up like Buzzfeed and other feeds that have lists with animated gifs in it. Fun and definitely relatable teen and tweens who are familiar with animated lists. Pictures do tell a thousand words (boy, I'm full of classic cliches this morning!!). Enjoy!
This year, I decided to use memes in the freshmen orientation for two reasons: 1. kids can relate to these (since they use and make them all the time themselves) and 2. let students know the library is more than rules, guidelines, and shushing. It can be fun, imaginative, creative, and inviting. I did a test drive with our new teachers for new teacher orientation, and although it was unexpected, they thoroughly enjoyed it! :) Basically, it's all about relationships, and this is a fun way to do it. Most of the memes I created myself using imgflip.com SUPER easy!!
