Final Lesson Taught

1. Have you utilized makerspaces in your library before?
2. How do you draw student into the library?
3. How do teachers utilize the library?

1. No we haven't. Right now that is not a priority with moving to a new building. There is a plan to have a makerspace area in the new library. Once in our new location we will have more opportunities to utilize makerspaces.

2. I was unable to note any ways that the librarians promoted the library or encouraged students to visit.

3. Teachers utilize the library in the following ways:
- Computer access for students
- Chrome book use (in library and in classroom)
- Gathering materials for upcoming lessons (books, DVDs, etc...)
- Copier
- Printer
- ID Maker

Reflection:
On February 25th, I taught my last lesson at Central High School, I taught a ninth grade health class on the digestion and nervous system. The teacher asked that I cover the basics of both systems in the ninety minute black., I began the class with two separate five minute introductory videos over both system. The videos were great at getting and keeping the student's attention. They were engaged throughout both videos. Then I introduced the students to their assignment for the day. They were to complete a webquest that covered both systems. It was a challenge for some of the students to stay on task to complete the webquest. If I taught this lesson again I would break up the two parts of the webquest with a game that reviews the digestive system. The game would review the first section of the webquest that students have completed over the digestive system.

I was able to help out a lot with packing up books for the libraries move to the new building over the past few days. It was nice to get a feel for how to properly pack materials for moving. The help from peer tutors was invaluable in the library. They helped with packing, labeling, and moving all the materials to a different location.
