The 4th graders at the elementary school today were pre-assessed on their knowledge of call numbers/Dewey system. The librarian that worked with them last year had prior school library experience, only public library. Therefore, the students were not necessarily taught how to use the library. This causes checkout to take much longer than it should. It is Liz's goal to have them have 10 minutes of browsing and checkout time. Hopefully now that we know what students retained from the previous year, we can fill in the gaps and make the students better patrons of the library. After the lesson I assisted with book checkout.
Liz has assigned me the task of teaching a Dewey lesson. We also discussed our problems in the district with technology. We are hoping to build our infrastructure so that it can support more streaming and 21st century tools. It is our hope that technology dollars are not just spent on tools (SMART Boards, Document Cams, iPads), but also on making sure that they tools will work.
