Key Assessment: Collection Development Plan
Reflection - Collection Development Plan
The collection development plan I created was the first key assessment I completed as part of my graduate program. It was the first opportunity I had to go into the media center to complete a project. I performed an environmental scan, a curriculum review, a collection evaluation, and prepared a consideration file. Excellent collections do not just happen without careful consideration, and this project was a good opportunity for me to experience all that goes into creating a great collection of materials in various formats in a school library media center.
Task 3: Ethical Use of Information
Reflection - Ethical Use of Information
An abundance of information is available to students today in both print and digital forms. Students must be taught to evaluate the information available to them for reliability and usefulness and to utilize this information in an ethical manner. I created this curated list of resources to cover this topic. The lesson includes the topics of plagiarism, copyright laws, and referencing resources. I included information in a variety of formats including websites, games, and cartoons to reach students in a way that will be meaningful and memorable to them.
