Lesson 10 Wrap Up

1. I had never been in CAMIO and thought it was a great place.  It will be a place that I will suggest to the teachers because they now work art into their regular schedule.  I just enjoyed the art work and looking at different things in there.  I used many more sites than I had before this class and they were all interesting.  I compared many of the sites with the same words and found that useful in deciding which sites that I will go to first.  I could have spent much more time each week but with it getting near the end of the year I had too many other things to do.  I tried not too spend too much time each week.  It was interesting becaue I was also using the sites for my 6th grade classes and most of the time I had to do the lesson for my 6th graders before this lesson.  I usually found many more things I could have used which will be good for next year.   I also learned that I can spend much more time getting around these sites and learn something everytime I go there. 

2.  I have already passed many sites on to the teachers.  I know they get busy and forget to look in these places so I just need to remind them more often to use the databases.  They are a wonderful service that is provided for our library.  I do go thourgh the databases with many of the jr. high and high school students.  We always look at them before they start research papers, speech, and this year we used Learning Express Library with the 7th grade study class.  I have been pushing the use of these data bases for many years but I know that they are still very underused.
