This past week brought more challenges and rewards at my new Teacher Librarian job. I checked out books for the first time to the students, and I started wondering how I am going to manage checkout and a technology lesson in a one hour period. This week I kept it simple, focused on the checkout, and then had the student practice typing on Typing Club, or search on Wonderopolis using keywords.
This week I am learning about digital storytelling in my ITEC course, and thinking about how I could do a similar project with my library classes. I'm thinking that I could collaborate with the homeroom teachers. When the homeroom teachers teach a unit on personal narrative, I could ask them to send a story to the library. From there, the students could make slides and film a paper slide show using the iPads. I also want to show the students how to get started creating presentations in Google Slides.
As far as teacher training, I want to create tutorials for the teachers to learn how to share and organize files in Google Drive. I also want to create a tutorial for teachers wanting to use Google Classroom. Both are so simple to use, and I think creating a screen cast will help teachers have something to refer back to. Also, rather than showing each of the teachers individually, they can watch the screencast when they are able. The only thing I am lacking to make all these plans a reality is time!
