Sauk Rapids-Rice High School (SRRHS)

Mentor: Maria Burnham

Date: Wednesday, Jan. 27th 

Time Worked: 7:30-3:30pm

Total: 24 hours 

   This morning Maria and I went to Mississippi Heights elementary school for a meeting on creating makerspaces in the district. We discussed possible options for running a makerspace, what would be in each makerspace and how they might acquire the funds to purchase what they wanted to have at each school. The issue of having equal access was addressed as well during the meeting. This district uses google to create a collaborative note taking space during meetings. Maria shared the group's google doc with me and that was helpful to be a more integrated part of the group. I enjoyed meeting the other media specialists in the district and also to see a school I had not previously visited.
  Once back at SRRHS I went into the stack again to work on the series project. I got through the S's today. I also entered in some of the corrections into Alexandria.
   Maria also showed me how they make the school badges, where the color printer is and also how to use the large banner/poster printer. It is great that they have so many resources available to them.
