Ushering in an unprecedented collaboration between the elementary science and library departments in our school district, this blog may either be pronounced "sigh-lie-berkeley" thereby incorporating the two disciplines or, of course, "sil-ly-berkeley", even though we are not.
The main coursework we are utilizing for this professional development is the California School Library Association's Classroom Learning 2.0 or School Library Learning 2.0 (they have the same assignments). This SciLiBerkeley blog will house our blogroll of BUSD participants for the 2007-08 school year, so you might want to bookmark it now for easy reference.
Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2:45-4:45 pm is our first session together. We will proceed to either Classroom Learning 2.0 or School Library Learning 2.0 and embark on Thing#1 and Thing#2, and immediately thereafter, Thing#3 and Thing#4. When you get to Thing#4 and it says "register your blog with your sponsoring organization" that means send an email to Becca_Todd@berkeley.k12.ca.us with the url of your newly created blog.
Wednesday, January 16, 2:45-5:45 pm, will be our next real-time meeting, at which point we'll work through Week 3, Things #5-#7, Photos & Images.
Feb 6, 2:45-5:45 will focus on Visual Presenter use.
March 12, 2:45-5:45 will focus on Probeware use.
There will also be two curriculum development days.
We are fortunate to have secured a "Tech2.0 Coach", Claire Scott, the Library Technician at Emerson School, who is ready to help problem-solve glitches along the way. Contact her through bemail.
Welcome aboard!
