Thing 1: 11.5 More Things

Post you thoughts about the student, the video, and the teacher and her role.
This video was so cool! I loved the way that our school incorporated the librarian as the "hub" of learning. This last year, my class was used as the teaching class (as far as using garage band and iMovie, etc.) and then we paired up with different learning buddies (kindergarten, 1st, 2nd & then some 5th graders) to help expand on what we had learned and assist others using the same technology. My role in all this was a facilitator - warm body in the room! The students helped each other and guided their lessons. Furthermore, by May, kids were actually deciding what ways they would produce and with which web sites they would use. Basically, the sky was the limit and if you can get connected, the wealth of the world is amongst us!

Can a Librarian play the role depicted in the video?My librarian is the hub of my school! She not only teaches the kids, but guides teachers in the learning of technology and incorporating different strategies that aid in the delivery of instruction and the output of the learners knowledge.
