Highly Effective School Librarians

In this post, I will discuss three videos about effective librarians. 

I have included the videos for your viewing.

In the first video, the librarian helped guide students to where they can find information, and instructed them in how to upload the information they need. She also helped them find internet programs that would assist them in their presentation. What I liked about this librarian is she really listened to the students, and then directed them to the best ways to achieve their goal.

In the second video, the librarian is collaborating with a teacher to find ways to incorporate virtual information into the teacher’s class. He also taught the teacher how to use the program. This librarian came up with a great way to incorporate technology into the lesson for the teacher with whom he was collaborating. I feel that collaboration between librarian and teacher is highly beneficial to the students, and give access to information and technology they might not get otherwise.

In the third video, the librarian is collaborating with a teacher to help set-up a website for the students, and to use the space in the library to accommodate kinetic learners in the teacher’s class. Again, I think collaboration is the best thing for the students. In this video, I love how they managed to find a way to present the information in a way that kinetic learners would understand. I feel it is important to teach to all of the different learning styles. That way all students have the ability to understand the information.

These ideas are a great way to meet the needs of the students. I am planning on looking up the different programs mentioned in these videos, so I can become familiar with them, and teach others to use them. When I become a librarian, I intend to collaborate with the teachers in my school, in order to better assist the students. I also plan on finding ways to present information to all of the learning styles. This way, I can help teachers reach all of their students.
