Day+4+Thoughts

I thought it was so interesting to learn about all the different ways that copyright laws can be broken. Teresa, thank you for sharing your wealth of information with us, and giving us the time to work through issues and projects this week! I have enjoyed this class immensely! Have a great evening everyone!

Loved the copyright discussion and readings as it really increased my awareness of this issue. Also, it was so good to meet Gail and have an intro to our next class - thanks for arranging the visit. It's been a tough week (at times) but the learning has been very worthwhile. 2 weeks ago, I knew nothing about library programs but now I'll be heading back to my school and paying attention to what's going on. Am looking forward to our online courses and sharing more experiences with our cohort. This has been a great couple of weeks - thanks to all! Elly

I really loved listening to Gail talk about her roles as a librarian leader. She said to pick your battles and I believe this is important, most things can be compromised, but there should be some things in your library that should be held sacred because it is the best for the students. Jen

It was great to meet Gail ahead of the next class. I think having met the instructor will make our first online class go more smoothly. I also really loved the morning conversation about intellectual property and copyright. It seems like I am always telling my kids about how they have to protect other people's copyright. It will be nice to point out this year that their own work is actually under copyright as well. It gives those writing notebooks and blogs added importance! ~Laura

The highlight of the day was Gail's visit. I liked that she addressed switching from elementary to high school kids. That was interesting ~Sarah
