      <description>by Emma Richardson. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ECBOCES has implemented a new Media Center site where you can now request items directly through the site instead of having to email us directly.  All our district members can now use their ECBOCES login to access the Media Center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If all you know how to do is ask Google, your boss doesn’t need you for that. What value can you bring that AI can’t?”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;To be invaluable in the workplace, students need to be able to problem solve, think critically, and be creative. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
