Rachel's Library Learning

 

I created three logos on Canva to go with the theme of "The Den" since our school mascot is a pride of lions. Let me know what design you think works best and any changes I should make. 

 

After looking through various options, I have decided on three virtual experiences that would be a good fit for my school (K-5 Elementary School). 1. Google Lit Trips The idea of Google Lit trips is " where students become virtual traveling companions traveling right alongside characters in stories commonly taught in grades K-12." As students read the book, they follow the story locations mapped out on google earth. I think this would be a valuable field trip because a teacher can bring a class novel alive for their students and incorporate aspects of mapping, cultures and communities, geography and technology into a novel study. I think the use of Google Lit trips would be a valuable resource for my library. 2. Grouse Mountain Bear Cam Through this live stream, students can watch the Grouse mountain bears, Grinder and Coola as they hibernate. This would be a good fit for my school because Grouse Mountain is close to home but a field trip there would be quite the undertaking....

  Here is a list of apps that I would choose to use the library.

  My questions are: 1. Are there any other ways to design the library to allow for greater use by classes throughout the day? 2. Was anything unclear in the presentation that I can change? Possible Library Names: Our school's mascot is a lion as part of the RCG Pride. So I tried to think of original names that would fit with this. I thought the name, "The Den" would accurately fit with this theme and is a simple representation of the library being the gathering place of the school.  References:  “Applied Design, Skills and Technologies.”  Building Student Success - B.C.
