Annotation This website from Brevard County, Florida contains 12 lesson plans with ten of them being for grades 9-12 and two lesson plans for grades 7-8. While the teacher and media specialist work together to teach a lesson, there is not much co-teaching together at the same time. However, it contains graphic organizers, checklists, rubrics, daily lesson plans and additional resources which are valuable as a basis for other collaborators to adapt for co-teaching. The lessons highlight how collaborations between teachers and librarians allow for creative ideas for students. The projects are hands-on and engaging and are beneficial to students to reinforce learning.
Annotation This YouTube video explains the inquiry method created by Barbara Stripling called "The Model of Inquiry." Using an authentic example, this inquiry lesson teaches students how to appropriately use the 6 steps of the Model of Inquiry, which are Connect, Wonder, Investigate, Construct, Express and Reflect. Three Web 2.0 tools are used in the presentation including Prezi, Screencast-O-Matic and Penzu to reflect how 21st Century technologies can be used to create a product to share with others. This presentation can help explain the inquiry process to the school community.
ARTIFACT 3
"Copyright In-Service Training" created by Crissy Casey
Annotation This in-service training was created by the librarian as a professional development training for teachers and staff. A librarian is trained in copyright and fair use, so he/she is equipped to serve as an expert in this area for all faculty, including administrators. His/her expertise also benefits students when teachers seek the librarian's guidance on copyright and fair use. The students then learn ethical use of technology.
ARTIFACT 4
"Sensing the American Revolution" created by Christine De Angelis & Theresa Klepac
Annotation This lesson plan was created collaboratively between the 8th grade history teacher and the school librarian for students studying the American Revolution. The lesson demonstrates the value of teacher-librarian collaboration and the strength it lends to student learning. As illustrated in this lesson plan, when teachers and librarians work together to create a lesson, they merge ideas and experiences to create a stronger, more fulfilling lesson that will stay with the students longer and build on their knowledge base.
