Recommended Electives

The Capstone at UNCG

The Capstone is a reflective practice in which you will implement what you learned during your M.L.I.S. studies. Rather than restating what you've already learned, you will apply what you've learned to new situations and analyze where you are (what you know now!) as you finish the degree. This will require that you examine your soft skills (interpersonal relationships, public speaking, organization, ability to make mistakes and move on, etc,) as well as the knowledge you accrued during the program. You will report your Capstone experience and relate it to the departmental PLOs in your Capstone Portfolio.

All students take the Capstone during their last semester in the M.L.I.S. program which includes some form of field experience.

Already working in a library and don't have time to go someplace else for a field experience? You also have the option of completing a project.

Plan ahead. Customize your program around the career(s) you are most interested in, centering around your critical program learning outcomes. Narrow down your preferences as you gain more knowledge and skills in the program. BUT keep in mind that it is okay to change your mind about what you're interested in (at least until you get to planning your Capstone experience).

Customize your Capstone experience around your career goal(s). Design an experience that prepares you for the career you want.

Your Capstone isn't just a field experience. You will also complete a portfolio, showing what you know as you prepare to graduate with your MLIS and how you have met the LIS Department's PLOs.

As you go through the M.L.I.S., make sure you save everything! You will not need all of it to complete your capstone, but you won't know what you will need until the end.

Your Capstone should serve as real-world experience. You should be working on projects, tasks, jobs, etc. that use the skills you've learned during your M.L.I.S. studies. While "small" tasks like shelving books are valuable and are fine as a small portion of your work, they should not constitute the majority of your work during the Capstone.

The Capstone Practicum Experience should provide school library students with a professional-level work experience. This is the opportunity for each student to apply their learning throughout the program and put it into practice in a working school library. This will require sustained professional interaction with a licensed school librarian or school administrator as a supervisor.

If you are not currently hired as a school librarian, the supervisor must be a licensed school library media coordinator with three (3) or more years of experience.

If you are hired in a school as a school librarian, the school administrator completing your final evaluation can be your supervisor.

The supervisor will collaborate with you throughout the semester to complete a needs assessment of the current school library program, plan and implement objectives throughout the semester, and fill out an evaluation for you at the end of the semester.

You must complete 120 contact hours during your practicum experience. This usually means you will need to be onsite working for 120 hours over the course of your practicum semester. You and your site supervisor will determine what will count toward your 120 hours.

Contact Tammy Gruer gruert@uncg.edu for any questions or concerns regarding school library licensure or practicum placement.

Schedule

All students take LIS 693 the Capstone during their last semester in the M.L.I.S. program.

When you enter the program: Talk with your advisor about the licensure requirements for school librarianship and review your working plan of study. Due to the requirements there is very little room for electives, so plan ahead.

Make sure to upload your assignments to your Hallmark Planning Guide (found on your working plan of study) at the end of each semester.

One semester before your final semester:

1. Talk to your advisor to access the Final Semester Checklist and complete each step prior to beginning your practicum.

2. Register for the Capstone Practicum by filling out this Google form. This form will ask about school libraries or school districts and levels you would like to work in. If you have a school library program you are interested in working in please list it here.

3. Complete your Background Check (This is a requirement by the University. Even if you are hired by the school district you will be in during LIS 693, it is required. Cost $28 )

4. If you have any questions about your placement or requirements contact Tammy S. Gruer gruert@uncg.edu

(Student Educator Learning Factory)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Partnered with the Michel Family Teaching Resources Center (TRC), the Student Educator Learning Factory (SELF) Design Studio serves as a makerspace where School of Education (SOE) students can learn and create with hands-on resources and activities.

We use the SELF Design Studio to teach 21st century skills by providing a space where ideas are advanced to the point of materialization. Patrons with ideas can plan, develop, and execute their ideas apart from the traditional classroom setting with hands-on experiences.

SOE faculty and students learn and create with hands-on resources and activities. The SELF Design Studio can allow students to interact with technology to build on their understanding, in practice, of what they are learning in the classroom.

Collaboration with area teachers and PK-12 students helps prepare pre-service teachers to become educational leaders who will engage students with innovative and creative learning models. The SELF Design Studio offers opportunities for in-service and pre-service teachers to utilize a variety of emerging technologies and tools including 3D printers, robotics, art supplies, and circuitry kits.

Background

The SELF Design Studio is supported by an endowment from the Sara Smith Self Foundation. These resources provided in this makerspace primarily helps education students (pre-service teachers who soon will be leading a classroom full time) discover how to incorporate meaningful activities into their curriculum. However, the School of Education also opens the design studio to departments across the UNC Greensboro campus and to local school teachers and students.

Resources

Our physical space would not be what it is without the tools that we have available and the projects that come out of the endeavors of mastering those tools. Below you can find out more about the tools available in our SELF Design Studio as well as review some of the projects that we are showcasing.

Tools

We are constantly searching for and experimenting with new tools in the SELF Design Studio. To see a full list of the tools currently available for UNCG SOE students to explore, please click on our SELF Design Studio Resources document.

Projects

Our students and Makers in Residence (MiR) are constantly working on great projects. Below you can click through to see some of the projects that we are showcasing and gain access to resources that you can use in your own projects. Our hope is that you will see something below that will spark your creativity.

MAKEY MAKEY

We use the MaKey MaKey extensively in the SELF Design Studio. When groups come into the studio, we start with a quick demonstration by creating a set of Human MaKey MaKey bongos. It's a big hit, and a good way to get everyone's attention. But how do we move from the Human Bongos and Banana Piano to integrating the MaKey MaKey into projects that teachers can use in their classrooms?

What follows are samples of activities we've developed with our pre-service teachers that incorporate the MaKey MaKey in different curricular areas.

This project was to express different points of view with an interactive diorama. Three groups considered the journey of the spaceman along the diorama from the spaceman's, the dinosaurs', and the "Volcano God's" perspective.

This was a MaKey MaKey project that also used Scratch. Below, check out the very different Scratch code projects that show off the different perspectives. Feel free to use and remix them as you wish.

To create your own model, follow these steps:

1. Create a diorama using any sort of art material that you have on hand.

2. At various points on your diorama, poke holes through the bottom of the diorama and wrap a small piece of wire through both of the holes and tie it together at the bottom.

3. To create a larger surface area for conductivity, on the top side of the diorama, place a piece of conductive copper tape on each exposed piece of wire. Connect the ground wire (Earth) to the character that you want to trigger the action on your diorama (in our case, the spaceman)

4. Connect an alligator clip to each of the wire connection points on the bottom side of the diorama. Connect the other end of each alligator clip to the MaKey MaKey (up, down, left, right arrows, space bar, etc)

5. Using Scratch, create an EVENT script for each trigger point (up, down, left, right arrows, space bar, etc) and attach a SOUND script.

6. In our class, we assigned students to three groups (Spaceman, Volcano God, Dinosaurs). Each group was assigned to write a first person point-of-view story for their character for each connection point on the diorama. The groups recorded their scripts on separate copies of the Scratch project.

This MaKey MaKey and Scratch project shows how a visual image can be an interactive educational tool.

1. For this science project, students were placed in small groups of four and assigned a system of the human body. Students were purposely assigned to specific groups based on their area of expertise / personal strength. These assignments included: Artist, Writer, Narrator, Musician, Technologist.

2. The students work collaboratively, making certain they complete the assignment for their job in the group.

3. After the students learn about the functions and components of their assigned body system, they begin writing their first person account of traveling through that system. For this example, the students wrote a story about a blood cell's journey from the body, to the heart, lungs, back to the heart and returning to the body again.

4. The drawing is wired with conductive copper tape (on the back side so as not to get in the way of the illustration). The copper tape runs to the edge of the drawing where it is attached with alligator clips to the MaKey MaKey.

1. We wanted to explore the connection between "fine art", sound/music and technology. As a concluding activity on the solar system, students were placed in groups, and each group was assigned a planet. This group's assigned planet was Jupiter. After they painted a picture of what they thought Jupiter might look like, they created several .wav files using GarageBand. These files were then exported and uploaded to Scratch.

2. In addition, we worked with the students to create a visual animation in Scratch that would respond to triggering each input on the MaKey MaKey.

3. Click here to view the Scratch code used. Remix it to your heart's content.

1. This project tells a story through image and audio: a talking book that reads a story upon touch. The circuit is underneath each page, exposed in key points to make connections and bridge between ground and trigger.

2. This book was made in a very similar manner to the instructions listed here: http://digitalis.nwp.org/resource/4885

3. The book was quickly made and has still stood up under vigorous use despite all reason. It's also very charming.

This project grew out of a desire to integrate circuits and language arts. Several groups wrote haiku about aspects of the "beautiful painting." We then used Scratch and MaKey MaKey to create a touchable painting that read the poems when different points were touched.

To create your own interactive painting, follow and even expand upon these steps:

1. Paint a picture, or otherwise create a visual about which to write poetry.

2. Compose a poem about your visual, or perhaps create definitions about vocabulary items in the picture, or use different language terms for things happening in the pictures.

3. Make a small hole, just big enough for a small wire, in spots with which you'd like people to interact.

4. Stick wires from the back to the front, with exposed, conductive material exposed. You can leave this as a wire, or have it in contact with any conductive covering or object (like conductive paint, aluminum tape, et al).

5. Hook your wires to the MaKey MaKey, making each wire correspond with a different point on the MaKey MaKey. Thus, a picture of a mountain becomes the letter "W", and a picture of a foot becomes the vocabulary word "pede."

6. Use the Scratch files below as a model of how to program your picture. Use your written text as part of your "sounds" in Scratch, or have characters speak the text on screen.

7. And... voila!

This project was originally much larger. It has been downgraded in order to fit easily in the Studio.

"Intellectual freedom can exist only where two essential conditions are met: first, that all individuals have the right to hold any belief on any subject and to convey their ideas in any form they deem appropriate, and second, that society makes an equal commitment to the right of unrestricted access to information and ideas regardless of the communication medium used, the content of work, and the viewpoints of both the author and the receiver of information." - Intellectual Freedom Manual, 7th edition

ALA's Code of Ethics is the responsibility of the Committee on Professional Ethics (COPE). The Code of Ethics is the document that translates the values of intellectual freedom that define the profession of librarianship into broad principles that may be used by individual members of that profession as well as by others employed in a library as a framework for dealing with situations involving ethical conflicts.

Code of Ethics

As members of the American Library Association, we recognize the importance of codifying and making known to the profession and to the general public the ethical principles that guide the work of librarians, other professionals providing information services, library trustees and library staffs.

Ethical dilemmas occur when values are in conflict. The American Library Association Code of Ethics states the values to which we are committed, and embodies the ethical responsibilities of the profession in this changing information environment.

We significantly influence or control the selection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information. In a political system grounded in an informed citizenry, we are members of a profession explicitly committed to intellectual freedom and the freedom of access to information. We have a special obligation to ensure the free flow of information and ideas to present and future generations.

The principles of this Code are expressed in broad statements to guide ethical decision making. These statements provide a framework; they cannot and do not dictate conduct to cover particular situations.

1. We provide the highest level of service to all library users through appropriate and usefully organized resources; equitable service policies; equitable access; and accurate, unbiased, and courteous responses to all requests.

2. We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources.

3. We protect each library user's right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted.

4. We respect intellectual property rights and advocate balance between the interests of information users and rights holders.

5. We treat co-workers and other colleagues with respect, fairness, and good faith, and advocate conditions of employment that safeguard the rights and welfare of all employees of our institutions.

6. We do not advance private interests at the expense of library users, colleagues, or our employing institutions.

7. We distinguish between our personal convictions and professional duties and do not allow our personal beliefs to interfere with fair representation of the aims of our institutions or the provision of access to their information resources.

8. We strive for excellence in the profession by maintaining and enhancing our own knowledge and skills, by encouraging the professional development of co-workers, and by fostering the aspirations of potential members of the profession.

Adopted at the 1939 Midwinter Meeting by the ALA Council; amended June 30, 1981; June 28, 1995; and January 22, 2008.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Desktop

Microsoft 365 will be UNCG's single destination for file storage and collaboration tools currently provided by Google Workspace, Box, and Zoom, beginning Spring 2023.

Mobile

Microsoft 365 will be UNCG's single destination for file storage and collaboration tools currently provided by Google Workspace, Box, and Zoom, beginning Spring 2023.

What is it?

UNCG's current work and collaboration tools include Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.), Box, Zoom, and network file storage. Microsoft 365 will replace these tools with the traditional MS Office applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc), Teams, and OneNote.

Why are we doing it?

The University currently has multiple email, chat, and video conferencing platforms that work the same or similarly. At one time, many of these tools were provided for free. The days of free services have ended. Additionally, services and applications are getting more complex, requiring more training for campus users and IT staff. Streamlining these services will...

make user support and onboarding new users easier

cost less

make everyone's experience the same

improve data security

How will I be impacted?

Although this migration will be disruptive, you will learn how to use new, dynamic tools that will make working, communicating, and collaborating better and easier.

When will this be implemented?

Over the course of Summer and Fall 2023. For the specific dates, see the milestone timeline.

What do I need to do?

Right now, the best thing you can do is start organizing your files in Box, Google Drive, and on all of your devices. ITS is coordinating comprehensive training. Follow ITS News for announcements on how and when training will take place.

The North Carolina Library Association (NCLA) stands with our Roundtable for Ethnic and Minority Concerns (REMCo) and the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) in condemning police brutality and racism against Black Americans, Indigenous people, and people of color. We stand with our members who are suffering under racial inequality and will do everything in our power to show our solidarity and promote our supported beliefs of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Library workers across the state have stepped up over the past few months to offer services to those who need it, regardless of color, creed or religion. Every citizen who uses our resources receives the same treatment and rights of access. It is time for our local, state and national leaders to learn from us and to treat all citizens with the same respect.

Editing notifications in UNCG Canvas

You can customize your Canvas notifications at both the account and individual course levels. Account settings apply to all your courses, but course-level settings will override them for that particular course.

1. Accessing notification settings

Log in to Canvas.

Click Account in the Global Navigation menu (usually on the left side).

Click Notifications.

2. Managing account-level notifications

On the Notification Settings page, you'll see a list of notification types categorized by things like course activities, discussions, conversations, etc.

For each notification type and listed contact method (e.g., email or push notifications), you can choose your desired frequency:

Notify immediately (checkmark icon): Receive notifications as soon as possible (may be delayed by up to one hour).

Daily summary (clock icon): Receive a daily summary of notifications (usually around 11 pm EST).

Weekly summary (calendar icon): Receive a weekly summary of notifications (usually sent Saturday morning).

Notifications off (bell icon): Do not receive any notifications for that type.

3. Managing course-level notifications

Navigate to the specific course you want to manage notifications for.

Click the View Course Notifications button on the course homepage.

You can either enable or disable all notifications for the course using the toggle button.

Similar to account settings, you can individually manage notification frequency for each notification type and contact method within the course.

Important considerations

If you've enabled push notifications through the Canvas Student mobile app, you can manage these settings within the app itself, and those settings will override the browser-based settings.

Make sure your contact methods (like email addresses) are confirmed in Canvas to receive notifications.

UNCG has its own emergency notification system separate from Canvas. You can find more information about it on the UNCG Clery Compliance page.
