Reflections on 2/9/12 class

I'd be freakin' out if I had to design a media center for real!

..or maybe not

Friday's discussion made me think about the real possibility of this happening during my career. I thought Emily's "adorable" comment was apt. Really, how many of us will ever have the opportunity to help in the creation of the a new school library space "given" to us? It is possible, but I think unlikely.

If this situation ever presented itself to me I think I would do the following:

-Scream "Woooo-hooo" silently in my head

-Tell my administrator that I need to be on the design team

-Contact the building's previous media specialists to pick their brains about their experiences working in the existing library space

-Talk to my teachers about their desired use for a future library space

-Ask my students what they would like to see in a new library (that could be interesting)

-Call Peg

-Use my personal media outlets and listserves to ask for suggestions

-Spend a lot of time researching the internet for ideas and inspiration

-Take a deep breath and enjoy the process while focusing on the work at hand

Looking forward to visiting the East Middle School media center this week!
