Today was an average day in the media center. I assisted with circulation procedures and observed 8th grade classes using the computers and media center database resources to research topics for an upcoming debate unit. The main resource students were observed using were Google search and the school-purchased GaleNet database - specifically the opposing viewpoints portion of the database. These classes will continue to utilize the media center over the next several weeks as they work on their debates. In addition, I was able to speak with the teacher I am collaborating with for my practicum unit on GA Authors. She seemed excited about this unit even though she rarely infuses technology within her units.
