  4. Statement of Purpose The purpose of this electronic portfolio is to compile and display the work I have completed in my Master’s of Education program in Media at The University of West Georgia. The projects located within the electronic portfolio represent all facets of the program including my own personal vision of school library media center programs and activities.

  5. The Role of the Library Media Specialist • This narrated presentation was created in my MEDT 6487 class in an effort to illustrate my own personal vision of the collaborative role of the school library media specialist of today. • Click here to view the presentation: The Role of the Library Media Specialist

  6. Projects and Standards The following projects are included within my portfolio.

  7. Principals PowerPoint • This PowerPoint was created in MEDT 6466 - Media Program as a means of informing the Principal and other stakeholders of the positive effects of a strong media program on student academic achievement as well as illustrating the media specialist’s role as a school leader. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 3.1 and 3.3 Translate the ways in which the library program can enhance school improvement efforts. • CoE 2 and 5 Demonstrate leadership skills and work effectively with various stakeholders involved in the educational process. • This PowerPoint presentation was created during my second semester of my master’s program. When I look at this presentation now, I can immediately see how far I have come. Although I did a good job presenting the research information, I don’t really “hear” my voice due to lack of experience working in a media center. Now I feel like I can add “I’ve seen…” to my research. View my Principals PowerPoint Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  8. Dewey Decimal PowerPoint • This PowerPoint was created in MEDT 6463 - Cataloging as a means of introducing students to Melville Dewey as well as providing an instructional tool that teachers and the media specialist can use to train students on how to use the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The presentation is reinforced further through a series of internet related review activities and games included on a concluding slide. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 4.1 Illustrate that the library media facility is organized utilizing the Dewey Decimal Classification System. • CoE 4 Demonstrate flexible and strategic planning. • Although this PowerPoint was created only a week after the Principals PowerPoint, I feel like I have begun to show growth. I am more comfortable with the subject matter being delivered and I was able to evaluate and contribute review activities that I found helpful to the presentation.

  9. School Wide Program • This word document was created in MEDT 6466 - Media Program as a means of developing a media program activity that incorporates the entire school. The goal of the school wide media program is to address all levels, subject areas, and special populations of the school community. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 2.1 and 2.2 Work with classroom teachers to co-plan, co-teach, and co-assess instruction and support the learning of all students, • CoE 6 and 7 Develop understanding of individual and group differences as well as sensitivity for individual, family, and institutional needs. • Hitting my stride! Although completed as a group, I really felt like I was grasping the material and making viable contributions to this project. I entered the master’s in media program to be exposed to a larger demographic of student. This project had me engaging the whole school!

  10. Two Year Plan • This word document was created in MEDT 6466 - Media Program as a means of developing a plan that a new media specialist would implement during their first two years in the media center. The goal of the two year plan is to detail the timeline in which these eight programs will be implemented and the program advertisements developed to stir interest in them. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 1.1 and 1.2 Access, communicate and interpret intellectual content as well as use a variety of strategies to promote leisure reading. • CoE 3 and 9 Improve knowledge, disposition, and skills as well as advocate for the removal of barriers that impede life long learning. • The creative juices are flowing! Although compiled as a group, I felt like I took charge of the sections I was assigned and began to incorporate “my” vision of a quality media program. I really enjoyed collaborating with my classmates to develop what we envisioned as a great starting plan! View my Two Year Plan Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  11. Volcanoes Pathfinder • This online reference source guide, or pathfinder, was developed as an Wiki in MEDT 6464 – Reference Sources and Services. Pathfinders help make your collection, both print and electronic resources, more valuable to the staff and students by assimilating them all in one place. Our pathfinder is focused around volcanoes for the 6th Grade Earth Science student. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 1.1 and 1.3 Identify and address student interests. • CoE 1 Demonstrate knowledge and skills when making decisions. • It’s all coming together! This may be my favprite project of the entire program. Even in retrospect, I feel that this project did a great job of assimilating everything we have been learning in one Wiki. Information technology, content standards, and peer collaboration all delivered in a groundbreaking technological format! I could not have been prouder… View my Volcanoes Pathfinder Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  12. Technology Tip • This word document was created in MEDT 6467 – Technology for Media Services as a means of exposing the learning community to a new technology that would be useful in a media center or classroom environment. This technology tip introduces the online tutorial program SkillsTutor to teachers and students alike by indicating where the program can be accessed as well as how it can be used to enhance student learning. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 2.3 Employ strategies to integrate the information literacy curriculum with the content curriculum. • CoE 1 and 8 Demonstrate advanced knowledge in content areas as well as skills when making decisions. • This project allowed me to use my role as teacher to assist the media specialist. I am a huge fan of SkillsTutor, but it was being horribly underutilized by the teachers at my school. I developed this technology tip for the media specialist at my school to assist in bringing up it’s usage. View my Technology Tip Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  13. Media Center Orientation • This PowerPoint was created in MEDT 6467 – Technology for Media Services to serve as a “stand alone” orientation to the media center by providing photos and narrated descriptions of different areas, resources, materials, and activities that make up the media program. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 1.3 and 1.4 Support open access to the media center as well as organize the media center according to their use by the community. • CoE 1 and 4 Demonstrate knowledge, skill, and flexibility when making decisions as well as strategically planning. • I really enjoyed executing this project and I am proud to say that it is still being utilized at Wheeler High School to this day. The media specialists enjoyed my media center orientation so much that it has been placed on the common network drive for review by students and teachers alike.

  14. Student Instruction Project • This word document was created in MEDT 7461 – Instructional Design as a means of illustrating the planning process from the perspective of the media specialist in collaboration with teachers. The goal of the student instruction project was to take an existing lesson plan and develop the roles of the media specialist, technology specialist, and teacher using the standards. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 4.3 Collaborate with teachers and administrators to develop a media program that aligns with the school’s goals and objectives. • CoE 10 Demonstrate critical thinking skills in prescribing change. • I enjoyed both the material and the challenge of this project. The Giving Tree is one of my favorite books of all time. However I was faced with the challenge of making it applicable to all grade level standards, including high school. I have to say that I feel like I accomplished the task creatively! View my Student Instruction Project Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  15. In-Service Module • This word document was created in MEDT 7461 – Instructional Design in an effort to design a professional development in-service that focuses on the information literacy, technology and content standards. The focus of this professional development in-service is to expose teachers to Atomic Learning and detail what role this technology training website could play in the instructional development process. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 3.2 Participate in faculty staff development opportunities. • CoE 8 Demonstrate specific knowledge in professional education. • I enjoy working with technology, but I realized very quickly how much of a time drain technology can present for the media specialist. I developed this professional development in-service module on the Atomic Learning website in an effort to “buy back” some technology time for the media specialists at Wheeler High School. I hope it has met the goal! View my In-Service Module Back to Table of Contents Back to Projects and Standards

  16. Current Topic Paper • This word document was created in MEDT 6463 – Cataloging as a result of my research and interviews regarding social networking and the media program. The goal of my current topic paper was to explorer the educational opportunities that might exists through the use of social networking toward academic achievement. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 3.3 Articulate the relationship of the media program with current educational trends and issues. • CoE 3 Continually improve knowledge, disposition, and skills. • I’ve found my “voice”! The use of social networking as a collaborative tool to improve critical thinking skills and in turn academic achievement is something I feel very strongly about. Unfortunately, most district level internet filtering policies serve to indiscriminately block all social networking sites regardless of their potential. I hope to change that!

  17. Qwik Start Guide • This word document was created in MEDT 6468 – Automating School Library Media Centers in an effort to create a “how to” manual for the Destiny 9.5 automation system. This guide is a section of my policies and procedures handbook which was developed throughout my media program course work over the past two years. • Fulfills the following standards: • ALA/AASL 4.2 Develop policies and procedures that support the mission of the school as well as the library media program. • CoE 3 Continually improve knowledge, disposition, and skills. • This guide is designed to serve all patrons of the media center including students, teachers, administrators, and media center workers. As a result, I was required to analyze the automation system from the perspective of many different users. If one piece of evidence is designed to show my “growth” throughout this program, this is it. Although not the most exciting subject matter, this guide is essential to a quality media program.
