Vision Project Audience



AUDIENCE

  • The school community.  Parents, teachers, administrators and board members.

PROJECT

  • To participate in a spiral of inquiry around indigenizing the LLC.  Document this endeavour as well as future learning initiatives on the school based website.

RATIONALE

  • With the technology we have today it makes sense to share the learning that is going on in the library learning.  "We can raise the teaching profession by sharing what works, by taking the best of what we do and hanging it on the virtual wall.  Many would argue that is is now the duty of teachers to do so." (Richardson, 2012)
  • The weekly website continues to be a place where students and teachers can come for practical information like a weekly blog about the happenings in the LLC, the schedule, & programming information.  Using the school based website to document the learning on the learning page takes the sharing of information one step further academically.
  • Making the learning in the LLC transparent to the community at large.  "Getting into a transparent, digital sharing practice can actually save you time in the long run (think of the amazing archives). And it's increasingly becoming imperative in this age of abundance." (Richardson, 2012)
  • I hope to use this platform of the school's webpage to further put the LLC in the forefront of people's minds when they think of ASMatheson.  It is a way to show how the students and the teachers are keeping up with the trends in education.
  • During the time of this specific project the focus will be around truth and reconciliation and indigenizing the LLC. "The voice of the students, the indigenous learners, indigenous education should be part of our school fabric.  Just by listening to the story and the resilience they have shown is a powerful tool for all of us to learn." (Baker, 2019)

    A good overview of your audience and rationale for this project with some discussion of the goals and key elements of this project. You've outlined your design aspects, frequency, audience and purpose with some basic bullet points, but a little more elaboration and discussion would be beneficial, supporting your thinking and design choices. A good overview, but a bit more connections, and discussion of the challenges you might be facing, or how you plan on promoting and distributing the resource would be helpful.

    I am really interested to see your final product as the focus on indigenizing the LLC is one that I think will help to inspire and guide us in this area. I also like that you have outlined that it will be a place for showcasing future learning - it is always great to show the 'ongoing' nature of teaching and learning.

Outdoor Education Keywords and the LLC

Outdoor Classrooms and the Literature (Photo retrieved from Catherine Nickerson of ASM's outdoor garden) I read three articles and two blogs around outdoor gardens and school goals in elementary schools.  The idea of students taking their learning outside seems to be popular.  In urban settings, what that looks likes varies significantly.  School gardens are common, like the one show above from ASM itself.  What is less common is taking the actual inquiry in the broader context of science, socials and library learning commons support to the limited outdoor spaces we have access to.  Megan Zeni seems to be a leader in the field and she is a local BC teacher from the lower mainland.  What follows are the annotated bibliographies on the readings around outdoor classrooms. Outdoor Classroom - Blog by Megan Zeni - Garden Literacy A big take away from Megan Zeni's Outdoor Classroom blog is that learning is fluid from outside to inside.  Taking ...

AS Matheson's Reference Collection

AS Matheson's Reference Collection Well here is a sorry state.  Our reference collection on countries is housed in a "behind" shelf in an out of the way, low traffic area.  My goal is to create a more child centered reference area.  At the forefront of my mind is bringing in books that answer the wonderings of the inquiry based projects that the teachers are presenting to the students.  "A good reference source is one that serves to answer questions, and a bad reference source is one that fails to answer questions." (Reidling, 2013).  I love the simplicity of this statement.  It's time to organize the reference section to one that has a purpose and is interesting! Instead of creating a rubric, which I know is taking a risk since our assignment asks us to do so, I have created a goal for each of the following categories.  Relevancy, purpose, currency, curricular connections and efficient use of space.  Think of it as category 5 in a ...
