Initial Post

I would like to use this blog as a method to discuss the idea of implementing computers into the libraries at the elementary buildings. This would help to make the library a true media center and can be a hub for technology projects down the road. Please post your ideas and thoughts about adding 3 computers to each library and what it might accomplish.

I love the idea but don't know where I would put them in an already crowded library.

The additional computers in the library would be very useful. We may need to purchase furniture to create workstations.

The usage of the Media Center during study halls has increased and is very popular. Passes for before school are highly desirable. Availability of computers in the elementary settings / Media Centers will strengthen the Columbia Central programming in the future.

It's been fun bloggin'!!!

It sounds good but space could be an issue. The number one idea that came out of the Curriculum Council for technology last night was to add student computers to classrooms. This might be a good intermediate step.

I would like to see us create a mobile writing center that makes use of inexpensive (if that exists) Laptop computers.

I can see the computers being used as listening stations. There is an increasing amount of literature available in audio format. Students could also utilize Accelerated Reader type programs such as Book Adventure. If allowed to be checked out by teachers, they could be used for students to do Practice Activities generated from ThinkLink results.
