CDSSH Library June 2015

PSLA 2015

I attended the 2015 Pennsylvania School Librarians Conference in Hershey last week. Last year I came back to my library invigorated and ready to make some changes that included: moving the lower school non-fiction books to shelving that is easier to access; taking inventory and weeding; teaching more research lessons in 6th and 9th grade; consider a curating tool like LiveBinbers or LibGuides; and using Moodle more to flip some lessons and promote online learning. I was able to make most of my goals. Moving the non-fiction books proved to be an excellent decision with many young students opting to check out both non-fiction and fiction books. This next school year, I hope to once again try to purchase LibGuides to curate digital resources for students and teachers. I also plan to blog and tweet more about what is happening in the library. The students and I may also do some self publishing using the iPads. It is always wonderful to attend professional development and come back to school with some fresh ideas for learning!
