The teacher librarian will work mindfully to collaborate with classroom teachers and building specialists to integrate instructional technology into the content areas. Instructional Technology Vision Statement: http://www.nextdayflyers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/vision1.jpg
Which Are You? TECH DRAGON TECH FAIRY http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dragon.jpg http://web.sssd.k12.ar.us/southside/staff/nicholsk/images/pink_punk_fairy1_smaller.jpg
Dispositions of the Tech Fairy… • Ongoing communication is the key • Be open • Be approachable • Be proactive • Be the “Go-To” person • Work as hard as classroom teachers • Differentiate for staff as much as for kids http://www.distilled.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/magic-wand.jpg
Needs assessment/survey the staff • Early in the school year • Calendar grid/curriculum map • Where have you infused info-tech? • What educational technology are you curious about? • What part of your curriculum do you usually NOT get to? • How can I help? http://giving.cuatoday.com/s/817/images/editor/DEV%20Photos/FY2010/question%20mark.jpg
Analyze Data • Librarian sorts out information, takes relevant data to Library Advisory Committee • Building Tech Coordinator, District Teacher expert, teachers, students, parents, administrator, librarian • What do the results imply for technology in our building? http://www.the-niceguy.com/images/HUAC.jpg
Use survey results/curriculum map to look for entry points for authentic tech integration opportunities • 1st year: plan for 1 new collaborative episode/event/unit per grade level • Add successive ones in subsequent years • For reluctant technology integrators (the original RTI), sneak them a list of websites to go with a unit you know they’re working on… or other baby steps. Chart Your Path http://paulmayers.blogs.com/my_weblog/images/2007/06/29/path.jpg
Collaboration Might Look Like… • Brainstorming session • Researching technologies • Direct instruction • Team-teaching • Take small groups through a center • Troubleshooting • What do you need? http://www.funatico.com/media/pics/teamwork968.jpg
Embrace the Standards! • Track tech projects over the years to help ensure that students have opportunities to meet the tech standards • Embed remaining tech standards into library curriculum http://www.infinitethinking.org/uploaded_images/NETS-banner-754547.gif
Collaboration Entry Points: • Based on surveys, begin to contact teachers regarding collaboration early in the year • What skills do I have that can supplement the classroom teacher? • Does he/she have a tech project to include? • Do I have ideas to integrate tech for that particular unit? • What’s on the web to help us? • WWJVD? http://farm1.static.flickr.com/71/202273987_d47cc5d1b8_m.jpg

Publishing & Celebrations • Document collaborative events – opportunities and issues • Post projects on the website. Archives inspire students, teachers and parents • Publish and celebrate in the school newsletter • How can our technology projects enhance our community of learning? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XbGQ_GqCiFI/SxHwYEgUNDI/AAAAAAAABv0/Kff3d63FHNM/s1600/DSC01966.JPG http://www.savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us/NR/rdonlyres/ACBC4DA4-9566-40B4-8815-EF826CAE84E2/23067/CapitolTech024.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MD_HwcYDEpc/SpB2somKxDI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/25zw0AEmsE4/s320/we+are+writers.jpg
Management Issues • Tools available for checkout through library • Media release forms • What about kids whose parents don’t sign media release? • What other district policies • Equity: access, equipment, instruction • Discuss policies at library advisory committee http://nettuts.s3.amazonaws.com/207_betterCss/images/organize.jpg
Staff Development • I am still learning. • What can we learn together? • Who wants to join us? • Mini-lessons as needed for collaborative projects or individual classroom projects • Share ideas and resources often through e-mails…wikis? • Include references to how tech supports other content area standards (reading advocacy) http://ic.payap.ac.th/media/img/news_channel_74.gif
Services and Resources • Develop pathways or Delicious bookmark lists for units/studies you know teachers will need • Maintain website • Troubleshoot as issues arise • Keep current • Maintain library and tech contacts outside of your building for your own support… You are not alone! http://www.uic.edu/las/clas/image%20for%20website/resource.jpg
