I spent 3.5 hours in the elementary media center. When I arrived the media specialist was just finishing up a read aloud with a first grade class and they were moving into their check out mode. Once everyone had a book it was time to read together again. This is a new rotation that the media center is a part of this school year. Now each grade level rotates through the media center, guidance, and computer lab.
After finishing up with this group, we looked at the Renaissance program, the video room, movie room, and other media related places and tasks.
I was overwhelmed to hear about all of the media specialists "new" tasks. In additional to being a "teacher" "information specialist" a "researcher" and a "program administrator," she has picked up text books, is responsible for fixes assets and maintains the school web site.
We discussed plans for my literacy unit, my staff development unit, and my reading for pleasure unit. We discussed the best of group of teaches to collaborate with and how to tie in the media map with the class standards. I left with a schedule and a plan.
