Student-centered Learning in the Library Let’s do this!
Use Our Space! Tables Round/Rectangular (each sits 4 -6) Some grouped, some separated- minimizes distractions Excellent for projects, small group work with/without teacher Couches Seats 6 -10 Great for reading or more informal collaboration Comfy Chairs
Technology? We’ve Got It! Computers 20 desktops 15 -30 laptops in COW carts i. Pads 30 and counting! Check them out, or we can reserve them for you Cameras Digital cameras
Librarian as a Resource In the library OR the classroom Finding/setting up resources (books, i. Pads with an app, etc. ) Working a station Circulating to answer questions and manage student work In the classroom Portable class library with custom-picked books Work station with library resources I am here to help!
Sample Lesson Brainstorm Possible Centers: Makerspace : Students can work on an on-going atom-model project (would be great as a repeating station in other class sessions) Technology : Using i. Pads with the Nuclear app, have each student add protons/neutrons/electrons to accurately create as many elements as they can. Small Group Work with Teacher : Teacher can provide mini-lesson on previous atomic models, remediate students who need more help with the current atomic model, or extend a previous periodic table lesson. Print Resources : With librarian’s guidance, students can find their required print resources for information about how their element is used or was discovered (for atom-model presentation).
