Follett Export and Ordering
Today I spent one hour at my base practicum school and then headed to one of my secondary schools. While at the secondary school, I assisted a teacher in creating a Google form. The teacher was using the form to post discussion questions for her students to answer. Many of the teachers do not know how to use the Google App system installed by the county and have not had any training. I have had to opportunity to use Google Apps for a few years and am able to use teach-able moments to help both teachers and students overcome obstacles and move into the digital world of cloud computing with Google Apps. The second thing I did today was export the MC Marc records to Follett Titlewave. This was done so that we could see any gaps in titles the MC may or many not have. While many of the titles are older than suggested, there seems to be very few gaps in this MC's collection. We did briefly look at suggested titles, but found that to be somewhat overwhelming. We also discussed how some of the resources would be outdated very soon after purchase, so the decision was made to look for online resources that would meet the same or similar needs.
