Hartznell Needs Assessment & Jung Analysis presentation using Web 2.0 Tools
The goals of this mini-project were to increase intrapersonal intelligence (to know ourselves better) and to consider and celebrate aspects of our personalities that influence our work as collaborating school librarians. The assignment consisted of completing the Hartzell “Needs Assessment”, the Jung Typology Test and drafting a storyboard using Web 2.0 tools to create a portrait of ourselves for an in-class presentation.

Inquiry Based Research Method Presentation
A partnered project with a classmate. The goals of this persuasive presentation assignment were to increase our understanding of inquiry-based learning and other research models that are used in school libraries and classrooms today. After investigating various inquiry and research processes, one was choosen from among them on which to base this assignment. We developed a K-W-L-Q Chart based on what we know, want to learn, learn, and further questions, as prewriting for this assignment. The assignment gave us the opportunity to use a wiki (or Google Docs) for collaboration, K-W-L-Q as a prewriting tool, and a Web 2.0 tool for presenting our learning. Sources were cited using APA style to model ethical use of information.

Instructional Design final project
The goal of this assignment wass to demonstrate our understanding of the entire instructional design process and our role as a SLMS who serves as an instructional partner at the school by designing a complex inquiry-based thematic unit in collaboration with a classroom teacher/curricular area. In this project, we gained experience in collaborating (or not) to design instruction; to tie the AASL learning standards and indicators directly to subject-matter learning, making specific links between the library media program and the curriculum; and to ensure that our instruction incorporates the meaningful use of information resources.
