I attended the county Library Media Specialist meeting for
Camden County Schools. As you might
imagine the agenda at this meeting was quite large so I will blog about the
highlight and things that struck me as important in this meeting. Much of the beginning of the meeting went
over many web 2.0 apps that are available to the school systems teachers and
media specialists. Some of the apps on
display are below:
●
TLDR - a reading app that shortens or summarizes
articles for students
●
Instagrok - mind mapping tool for students
●
Plickers - a cool student response tool
●
Kahoot - a student interactive teaching/review
game. Kids love it!
●
MyOn - an electronic library of books for kids. This is a really nice one
●
Also mentioned was a GLMA workshop slated for June that some
members were going to attend for professional learning. Media specialists discussed problems they are
having with barcode scanners and possible solutions to those problems. Media specialist were told to pay close
attention to check outs because books were not being properly picked up by the
scanners. Camden County library media
specialist handled tech support so issues such as chrome book fixes along with
other issues were discussed.
As mentioned earlier, there was quite an agenda and it was
interesting to see issues that were faced with different schools while at the
same time the schools faced many of the same issues. In any event, the LMS of all schools must
work together to ensure that all students in the county are served correctly. These county meetings are essential to the
cohesiveness and effectiveness of the libraries in Camden County.
