okay so today I want to show you how you can access interactive lightbox books and ebooks through Follett Destiny Follett Destiny is our online card catalog with our library system here in Collierville school so every student K through 12 has a class Link account if your child is in K through second grade they should have a quick card that they can scan you Adidas on a laptop or desktop computer if you by going through the class link website or if your child brought home their device you can use the device as well to login students 3rd through 12th grade they will log in using their Microsoft email address 7 / the class link app and I have done my child in and so I'm going to click the Follett Destiny app and not is the blue square with the light bulb and sometimes I'm it may not log them in immediately so if that is the case I just recommend you can quit the app and then just try logging back in and it just takes one second and so will click Dynamic quick card we scan that QR code and it'll sign my child in and you know it's working because it'll say redirecting and you just kind of got to be patient for a few minutes Martin and were logged in as part of my child I'm probably just navigating tip first of all if you click this menu button on the side you can see some different options and the main thing that you'd want to see is a check out you can see the books your child he has checked out and this will also be where you go when you want to open up an ebook that they have checked out anytime you navigate away from the main screen you can get back to the main screen by clicking Destiny discover and I recommend doing that over the back arrow at the top left corner screen what you're looking at 5 here popular titles recently added book topics those are all for print books that are available in the library is the library closed right now we won't really concern ourselves with searching those items but when was on the lookout first is down here where it says light boss ebooks an interactive e-book the light box books are the same thing as the interactive ebooks are just listed twice and I'm going to click the seat all button and as they books are sorted here right now they are currently sorted as they're listed as a most recently purchased items so that may or may not be helpful for you and you might want to sort them by title A to Z another option over here is if you click on the interest filter you can filter down and just sort out the books that are meant for your child's at grade band so let's say I want to explore more about ants today I noticed that this book if you look at the top left-hand corner has a blue infinity symbol and not just means that this is multi-user and as many people want to read the book at the same time can because we've paid the license for that so I'm going to click open and it will open up the white box but no one thing you'll notice immediately it's as interactive and you see the ants moving on the screen which is very engaging for the student open light box and what I can do from this point I can either just start reading at the beginning of the book or I can go and just pick a specific page you'll notice some tool buttons at the top we have an activities when I click activity at saying these four pages highlighted have activities attached to them out of the web that's going to give me an external vetted website that I can do some additional research on with my child this page has a spy it's HR the Google Map there is a quiz and there are even key words built into the presentation so let's just start here at the first page and a couple things if your child is not yet reading to themselves they can call our strong insects you can play some of the pages not a real place some of the pages are going to have a attached and then there is at activity button and the activity button is going to give me the option to do some activities while I'm reading the book add to turn pages I'm just simply clicking the arrow I am this page we have a Google map and so when I click on that map button it's going to open up and I can take a look so for some reason I bet if I hunt around and there's going to be a giant ant hill there that I can find on Google Map let's see here this page has an external website and so I can click the web button and this is taking me out to pasture for kids and so this might be something that we want to explore further I am and have your child do some research while they're home if they want to learn more about Aunt at any time I can click the home button and it takes me back to that mean the screen to get back to Follett Destiny I do when I use that back arrow up here at the top left-hand corner and that takes me back to that main screen Okay so just remember all the white box books these all have that infinity symbol which means there's no limit on the number of students that can be reading them at the same time he looks are a little bit different this is an electronic book that you can read on your iPad it's not interactive it's not going to read it aloud to your child it's just basically the print version on iPad and just like a print book in the library usually they are single copy meaning f a all this checked out the dog who lost his bark in your child wishes to read that they can place a hold on that book but they have to actually check it out so let's click see all and again the wave these are sorted as by the most recently purchased items what I can do is if I want to narrow it down quickly I can click on interest level and it's going to give me a very specific list of that are appropriate for my child's age now you'll notice when you're looking at the book this book the donkey egg has the choice to open it check it out or she's it as a favorite I'm the difference between the opening and checking out is you open the book you are just simply standing at the shelf and you are looking at it somebody else can still check the book out so if you want to make sure your child has the book and checked out and do their name to come back to the later time you definitely want to collect the check and it says it's been checked out until March 26th the way that I can access that book then if I go back here to my menu button and I click checkout it's going to show me the books that I have checked out here is where I can open that ebook and so when I click open it's going to open it and don't forget like I mentioned these books are not interactive the ebooks are just basically the print version of the book but a book that you can read on your iPad in for our younger readers than probably that means mom and dad will be doing some reading with your child so you can see there that I am turning the pages some of the picture books that they have a lot of artwork it might take a moment to load that part work but that is essentially the ebooks you can close the book and head back to the page thank you and I hope you enjoy checking out our light box collection and our ebook collection
