Module 1 Activity 3

I am the Librarian in a K-2 school. Let me tell you this is a whole different world then most academic settings! I try to use technology in every lesson. I am very lucky in that I have a promethean interactive whiteboard that the students love. I have a very relaxed environment, but I confess that it is probably 60% direct instruction. I try to model good thinking skills by talking out loud about my steps to the process at hand - such as "Well, I know that call numbers are how I find a book in the library so... If I know that the author of my book is David Shannon, then I know that SHA is the call number and I can find the book in the S section." We do alot of talking - I hope this leads to alot of learning.
