Learning Commons Apps
My goodness, the amount of culling it took to even get the list down this much was exhausting.

My Library Learning Commons (UPDATED)
This assignment was to create a version of the uTec or LIIIITE model for a library learning commons. For my purposes, I chose to focus on what adoption looks like at different levels for the three vision points I identified last time (that is, tech integration, collaboration, and inquiry). I imagine that this would be

LLC Logo
For this assignment, I was asked to design three logos for my LLC redesign (the TLDR is a bigger focus on design thinking). Here are the three I came up with. As you can tell, they were created in the free version of Freelogodesign.org. If I were to actually have a library and be using
Global Projects
I looked at three main sources to get an idea about what the advantages of global projects were. These sources had an emphasis on service learning and student empowerment, so I tended to steer in that direction. The comic was created in Canva. The sources were: iEARN TakingITGlobal World’s Largest Lesson Sources: International Education and
Virtual Classroom Connections
This course assignment seems especially relevant now that we are living in a pandemic reality and in-person visits with an army of 90 children are unlikely to occur for the next little while. I have identified three virtual connections that I think are relevant to my own practice in a secondary integrated program. Google Lit

A Redesigned Library
Again, I am not the librarian, will not be working at this school in September, and have no authority to actually do any of the things I said in this video. This is me roleplaying someone who actually has a library. Questions for feedback: How would you present a redesign to your colleagues and entice

Video Techniques
I make no claims to the quality of this production. I only claim that Premiere Pro has a learning curve approaching infinity. Sources: Fleischer, D., Wolf, B., & Johnson, T. (1933).

Sound Setup
I made a DIY soundbooth for this library course. The instructions said to use proper acoustic foam panels to dampen noise, but I couldn’t find them anywhere within the time needed (the long weekend has cursed me), so I improvised – we’ve got moving blankets instead. I look forward to taking it home and testing
Audio Editing
This is a throwaway podcast about an animated television series that I felt a strong emotional connection to. They said “a subject of your choice”, and my choice was Mob Psycho 100. Enjoy my gushing. Like half of the teaching population, I’m sure, I got to experience the joy of Audacity when the pandemic started
