Monday (2 hours)

Weeeeeeeeeding!!!!! It has become my favorite thing to do in Library and my media specialist thinks i's crazy for it. However, today I started working on the autobiography section of the library. The things that I was looking for while weeding where 2 fold. For one, I was looking for books that were older then 2001. Not only were there books the least checked out books, but the autobiographies were mostly out of date. The second was multiples books on one person. There is no need to have five different books on "Jessie Jackson" or "Neil Armstrong". All it does is take up space for other books that studnets may be interested in.
Wednesday (6 hours)

Tech time!!! Today I spent time at Simonton Elementary with their media specialist. Today I got a good look at one of the new programs that they have within the library which is there "Lego Club". It's actually more of a Lego/STEM club in my opinion. The students have to build robots and use coding to make their robots complete task. It is an awesome club that are showing students the different career that are available to them such as; robotics, engineering, and computer programming. As always I enjoy going to this placement as it shows me the different ways in which media specialist and library spaces can be used.

Thursday (5 hours)
Today I went to my Norcross High School placement and saw the other side of the job, the administration and equipment side. My county has spent upwards of 10 million dollars on new technology upgrade through the 130+ schools in the county. Among them were new computers!!!!! They started with high schools and on this day it was Norcross' turn to receive them. Period after period teachers brought in there old computers, were given there new computers, and were shown how to recover their files from there old computers. As the instructional technologist stated "it's not the funnest day of the year for me, but it's needed, and the teachers are excited.


Friday (2 hours)
The weeding continues!!!! Today was a short day for me in the library, so I got right back to the weeding. I noticed that a lot of books look brand new but had been there since 2001 or older. As I kept coming across these types of books I started to wondering what the reason behind buying these particular books where. These autobiographies were neither part of any curriculum or interest to the students.
