San Luis Obispo High School Library - Field Trip

Just a quick note to stay thanks to Jennifer Sawyer the Library Media Tech at SLOHS. She met with me today and let me pick her brain about a myriad of things but truly she loves her job and her library is the place to be on campus.

We had a chance to talk about the California School Library Association  and how she took some media literacy lessons and implemented them with all her 9th graders for the first time this year. It really cements in their minds how to look for trusted sites, use the ETC Portal and give them face time with her so they know where to come for school support. Also on site is Mary Dornish a library assistant there 6 hours a day.

She is a huge fan of Library 2.0 tools and is a real advocate for the library and it shows with her interactions with the kids. Her main advice when coming onto a new school site is to really utilize your space, get to know the campus and make connections. Also with so many different areas of  student interest you really need to make sure to not be afraid to try things and always ask students and teachers how you can help.



SLO Library Display - Unwrap a new title. 

I wonder what title is inside the wrapper?
