Welcome to your library!
with your new library media speicalist-Mrs. Bongiorno!
The word of the year is COLLABORATION.
What are my core strengths as your librarian?
PBL Advocate
Curation of Ideas
Google Apps for Education
What can we do in the library?
*Provide access to technology for authentic integration into the classroom (Chromebooks, Skyping, using the interactive board, iPads, etc.) and learn new digital skills
*Provide literacy and digital literacy connections between reading, writing, math, science, social studies, art, music, health...you name it!
*Make connections with the community-we can connect local authors, businessmen, careers, and more to your students to enrich the educational experience in the classroom
*Make global connections to other classrooms and people around the world
*Provide resources from research materials to independent reading materials to professional development reading to the library for checkout
We also have a laminator and a die-cut machine.
Never collaborated with a librarian before? A few ideas:
- Blogging
- Creating book trailers
- Writing and creating e-books
- Skyping with authors and other classrooms
- Mystery Skype
- STEAM related reading activities
- National Dot Day, International Gaming Day, National Poetry Month, and other exciting literacy connections with events connecting our school with others around our state, nation, and the world
If you are designing projects, research assignments, units, lessons, or anything you would like to collaborate on, find resources for, or incorporate technology effectively with, I am here to help! If you would like more information regarding how to use Google Apps for Education (Google Classroom, Docs, Slides, and Forms), Newsela, Galileo, Kahoot, or other technology based resources in your classroom, I can meet with you during your planning time one-on-one or with your team/grade level to assist. Between us, we can create a magical experience for our students.
