I miss chaos of a classroom. There. I said it. I know lots of teachers leave the classroom for the LMC or other areas because of the daily demands of a classroom, but for me, there is nothing quite like the chatter and din of students learning and teaching new content in new ways. That being said, one of my favorite times to be a media specialist is when I get to go to co-teach with other teachers! This week, our student teachers are completing their final teaching lessons with their students, and I had the pleasure of providing tech support for one of them. Students were given choices on writing, creating a poster using Canva, or creating a video to demonstrate their knowledge of content. Inevitably, technical issues abound when a nervous new teacher is just taking flight, so I was happy to be on hand for support with Web 2.0 tools including Canva and Flipgrid. I also provided support in the ethical use and proper citation of sources for those who chose to write. This week, I got not only one, but two chances to co-teach. Our high school Gifted class is studying Renaissance art, and I'm a starving artist at heart, so this was my dream come true. Students used texts in the media center to research the period in addition to a curated list that we provided for them. After their research phase, they had to participate in a StickTogether mosaic sticker-by-number puzzle. They had to work as a team to fill in the mosaic stickers and then use what they learned from their research to make an educated guess (with rationale) of what they believed the piece of art depicted in the puzzle to be.
