I also love to collaborate with teachers to develop fun lesson plans.  I
I can also make a mean interactive PowerPoint.  Happy to share.

I might be new to media, but 20 years of teaching history in the district allows me the perspective of intergrating historical events into the library and morning announcements.

While I don't consider myself an expert at anything, if forced to choose an area, I'd have to say middle school novels. Since taking the job three years ago, I have read about 150 books for middle schoolers/ preteens. This includes a variety of genres so I can probably recommend something in whatever genre you're looking for.

I've used Reading Counts to help supplement subject area courses with library books.

Every now and then, there is a need to have a video edited with a program such as Premiere Pro (or iMovie). At my school, I have been asked (but thoroughly enjoy) to create short highlight videos for our athletes that are awarded scholarships to be shown on our athletic signing days. I also enjoy helping students incorporate videos in their class presentations or even teachers who need videos for their lesson plans. I have a lot of experience in video productions and I would gladly help anyone who needs assistance in this area.  vangemsa@collierschools.com

As a former grade 10 English/reading teacher and freshman writing teacher, I am readily able to make connections to the Florida LAFS standards across content, disciplines and curriculums. Last year, part of my role was a Teacher on Special Assignment embedding and supporting social studies teachers/classrooms with writing instruction utilizing text based support. I enjoyed acclimating content teachers to the LAF standards and encouraging them to weave applicable writing instruction into their daily lessons.

If I had to say I was close to an expert at anything it would be computer technology.

I am new to middle school and media. With that said, I spent a week in Boston this summer and went into many libraries.  The Boston Library had a great teen area. I took lots of pictures and got many ideas.

Although I don't consider myself an expert, I started collaborating with teachers last year and bringing in classes to our MakeIt Lab to do hands-on lessons, using some of our materials there. I can help with ideas on cross discipline lessons/collaboration.

I monitor my ebook and audio book use on a monthly basis along with my print circulation in destiny.  This monitoring of Overdrive is done through Overdrive Marketplace which you must have an account setup that Mrs. Endrelunas will do for you. This monitoring has helped me with discussions with my principal relating to the media center use by teachers and students.

Bilingual & Spanish Language Collections

# data[].attributes.body
I've created a Bilingual and a Spanish language collection of culturally relevant books from the Pura Belpré collection (see my links on the "Books you don't want to miss" padlet") and other similar titles. Both collections have unique spine labels, and are shelved near each other. Both include dictionaries that go with the type of collection. They are all picture books with very simple Spanish words or very easy sentences. Some progress up to paragraphs. If anyone needs help starting your own Bilingual or Spanish collection, please let me know. I'm at LTE.
