Sauk Rapids-Rice High School (SRRHS)
Mentor: Maria Burnham
Date: Thursday, Jan. 28th
Time Worked: 7:30-3:30pm
Total: 32 hours
Today I worked quite a while with Maria on creating her presentation for tomorrow's PD tech session on laptop efficiencies. I learned quite a few new tips and tricks about suing the mouse pad and different ways to control your tabs in the tool bar. We are excited to see how tomorrow's sessions will impact the teachers.I then entered in the rest of the corrections I made for books that need to be marked as part of a series. I'm also making note of books where there might be numbers 2 and 3 but no number 1 in the collection. Maria can decide if it is worth purchasing book number 1.
Maria and I also discussed our experiences with book fairs. She no longer does Scholastic book fairs and instead does them at B&N. She had a lot of great tips and ideas on having one there successfully. Her first year doing one at B&N she made $400 and the second year she made $1,000! This money is used to purchase books as well as materials for her teen book club.
How does that compare with Scholastic? Less work onsite for the LMS I suppose, but it does put the burden of attendance on the parents, who might or might not, have cause to be in the area of Barnes & Noble. Mixed feelings from me, because I think that it important for parents to see the Media Center and this option eliminates that from happening.
