Welcome to Please intro yourself & share either great PD you've attended/something you've read so far https://t.co/2waaeldARx
Media Spec from Indy; so far I've been to & , both great events. is Friday!
Amy Fish Fort Wayne Community Schools Just read and met YA author of With Malice by Eileen Cook, reads like The Girl On tte Train
Is Eileen Cook a midwest author?
Q1: If you could choose anything at all to learn about (@ edcamp session or otherwise), what would it be? https://t.co/cClKj8tLgy
Q1: Our district goal All students read at grade level, so everything to make this happen!!!
I would want to learn more about doing research beyond Google
A1: Although I've been to sessions (& have 2 viewers) still want to become more comfortable with (and creating)
I'd like to see how to put Makerspace in the elem lib for access to all students
Q2: What changes (if any) will occur in your district/school next year? That affects our summers, too! https://t.co/jX02bYrQk0
The biggest change will be no certified media specialist at Center Grove.
A2: Our middle schools lost FT assts; all Ss will be getting public library cards for eBooks (with limited print checkout too)
A2: I get the classes for slightly longer so I can incorporate digital citizenship.
Do some of your elem libraries still have part time clerks?
A2: Focus on reading!!! Yay!!! Makerspaces in the libraries!!
A2: I will also no longer have an asst.
Will there be any certified librarians employed in the district? If not, they're breaking Indiana code.
I believe there is a language arts teacher at one of the middle schools that is certified.
This is easy for me-I will be sleeping more
A3: I hope to spend more time in the classrooms/talking with teachers.
A3: Without a FT asst, I need to empower more Ss for some tasks & abandon some practices that did not yield worthwhile results.
I'm in preK-8 so no student helpers. I do have a cadre of super reliable parents though.
I'll be there! See you Friday!
That's a lot to get done, altho some of our assts have so many addtnl duties they aren't in library much https://t.co/A7m5vdiS5t
All of elem are 5 hours😥
