I have students called Techsperts that help in the Learning Commons.  I have been having weekly Zoom meetings with them.  They have been creating book recommendations list from our Overdrive library so students know what is available.  I have a Google Classroom and the lists are posted there.  They are working on videos for our incoming sixth graders to answer questions.  I have social media accounts where I post out ideas and let them know we are missing them.  I have also had Zoom meetings with staff to talk about co-teaching ideas for next year.  I am continually looking for ideas to assist my staff and students.

In my school district, librarians also known as Media and Educational Technology Instructors (METI's) have been curating and sharing great resources for our students, families, teachers and each other during the rapid transition to online learning. Our METI website has been updated to specifically include useful and important online learning resources with the aim of making remote learning more effective, engaging and enriching.

I have posted resources on my library page and I post a few each day on my library Facebook page. I have started collaborating this week with teachers and counselors to post things the classes are doing on my Facebook page as well, so students can share what they are doing with others. Our school is a Title 1 school and we don’t have online lessons. Everything is downloaded and printed each day by families.

I created a website using Google Sites and posted it in Class Dojo and on my Media Page on the School's web page. We are celebrating poetry this month. Here is the link. Most of the read alouds are protected by a school login so that I can follow copyright guudelines from publishers.  I had a first grader post on one of my padlets. It made my day!! https://sites.google.com/randolph.k12.nc.us/remote-media-lessons

On the website there is a link to a Canvas Book Club. I am going to create a Flipgrid after Easter for the students to as a virtual book club.

I am also considering having a Google Meet and do a read aloud with them. I had a parent email me and said her daughter missed coming to the media center.

I am also helping teachers and parents daily with technology questions via email.

We've created websites for our staff and our families. The staff one is filled with tutorials and examples on tools as well as how to access our digital library. The family one has student-centric directions to access Seesaw, Google Classroom and trouble shooting tips. I then went back and made alt image text for all the images on the site.

I complied read aloud resources that were shared with our elementary schools and our social media account. The technology integrator and I organized a week of professional development for our staff. We've been provided student and staff support with Google Meet, Classroom, Seesaw and Flipgrid. I've been making screencasts and Google drawings for a number of these.

This week was our first week online so my fifth graders had to just get onto the platform we are using for class and leaving me their favorite book--it was still a great way to connect.

I've been curating and sharing selected resources. I've also been making closed platform read alouds for library class and 5th grade social studies.

I am coordinating the roll out of 175 chromebooks to be used by students at home. School put a technology survey on the district website asking for home technology info and  did the student want to borrow a chromebook.  We issue first toll out on March 26 and plan another roll out next Friday. I  created a Google Classroom with Library information since students can not access library’s district controlled website from home. I know. I have asked WHY  so many times. It has to do with some firewall business. Anyhow, now the students have links to ebook resources from Google Classroom Library created by moi. I host a zoom conference every Friday for students to chat about their reading, concerns they have about being out of school, questions about graduation etc.  I am using my time to search for grant information and apply for library grants, something I normally dont have time to do during the school year.

I'm included in teachers' lesson planning collaboration so I can add resources directly to their weekly lesson plans. I also host daily virtual "Office Hours" which have become chat sessions, and do several live read-alouds and discussions throughout the week. I even started live "maker" demonstrations to offer kids a diversion! I partner with our school technical staff on tech support and troubleshooting. My role has always been to support students, teachers, and families with whatever they need.

What to do on your library day OR whatever day works for YOU!

We were in the midst of a grade-wide research project with 9th grade when we went to remote learning.  Teachers put an "Ask the librarian" discussion in their courses in schoology where I would get notified when there were questions to answer. I also promoted my calendly and had 15 minute sessions with kids to help them with planning, research, and citing, and of course, I answered many emails. It felt a bit overwhelming so I am going to try streamline the process. I am now getting ready for a tenth grade project and using what I learned from the previous one to make this one better.

Our K-12 librarians also collaborated on a Spring Break reading challenge online with padlets, which kids are doing now.
Looking into ways we can be "open" for 9th-12th grade students when hanging out. We have a zoom poetry reading, a book club meeting, and an author visit scheduled this month. Our library  instagram is highlighting teachers and how they are staying safe during our two week spring break. Looking for more ideas. Thanks!
