Thursday was filled with lots of planning and working with students. Cathy gave me more ideas for visual, creative student projects. PosterMyWall is a site that allows students to create collage posters that can be downloaded for free. This can be used to combine text and images to represent a work of fiction. This requires students to analyze and synthesize and work those higher order thinking skills. Not your average book report!
In her capacity as a Tech Trainer for the district, Melanie is teaching a course on Google Docs. The teaching role of the teacher librarian is not limited to instructing students. TLs can and should be up to date on technology initiatives as we'll as curriculum content in order to provide professional development to school colleagues.
The Pinterest Nursery & Layette project continued and I enjoyed seeing the varied baby related gear the students pinned. I helped a student find some basketball fiction - new category for me! I made a note to read some YA sports fiction as well as to become more familiar with authors/titles popular with boys/young men.Next week I take the PRAXIS II - Library Media Specialist area. This is one of my last steps in becoming a certified School Library Media Specialist!
