Alex Q and Libraries Too. Monthly Archives: March 2014. Week 11: (Seinfeld voice) What’s the deal with interactive whiteboards? March 28, 2014. We started off today’s class with a shopping experiment: your principal has asked you to research affordable interactive whiteboards (and all the required software and hardware) to purchase for the school. Go! Kristin gave us the remcbids.org. A Wiimote and infrared pen for every child! Are they creating completely new experiences for children? The answers, as fa...

Reading Reflections: Assessment | Alex Q & Libraries Too
https://alexquay.wordpress.com/2014/04/09/reading-reflections-assessment
Alex Q and Libraries Too. April 9, 2014. Now this topic is something I think about (/worry about) often: assessment/evaluation, the real teaching elements of the job. My visions of a rose-tinted library filled with engaged and emotionally and educationally fulfilled children is no help in clarifying what this might mean in real life. I can come up with plenty of good ideas, but can I apply them and teach them? And once I’ve taught these good ideas, how do I assess what’s really being learned? You are com...

January | 2014 | Alex Q & Libraries Too
https://alexquay.wordpress.com/2014/01
Alex Q and Libraries Too. Monthly Archives: January 2014. More Facilities Reflection (Class, Week 4). January 31, 2014. Considering the limited space that most schools have on hand, can you imagine–do you even. To imagine–a shared space between the librarian, the technology specialist, music, art, PE, the nurse and the guidance counselors? By putting all the specials together into one super group, wouldn’t that widen the gap between these departments and classroom teachers? For an entire year. I am very ...

Alex Q and Libraries Too. Week #14: Collaborative Lesson Planning and The End, My Friend. April 16, 2014. Via http:/ knowyourmeme.com/memes/futurama-fry-not-sure-if. Perhaps I’ve just turned into a squinty-eye cynic as pictured above, but I’ve begun to read the articles and book chapters assigned in this class with a very large grain of salt. I feel as if I keep thinking, “That seems nice, but what’s the catch? Something has to start going wrong.”. Well, I suppose if you plan for that, anyone can. ItR...

BONUS POST: Elevator speech! | Ex Libris Krista
https://kristamajor.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/bonus-post-elevator-speech
The ramblings of a future librarian. BONUS POST: Elevator speech! I picked this essay because it’s something I’m really passionate about. I picture the scenario of me being in a PTA meeting, where the topic of why the school library hasn’t switched completely to ebooks, or how I, as a librarian, can advocate for ebooks at all, has come up. I have 30 seconds to defend myself…GO! One thought on “ BONUS POST: Elevator speech! March 21, 2014 at 8:49 pm. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
