Um, what was that email? Click here to find out!

Terrible about the Elluminate session having technical difficulties tonight. Some mentioned they were unsure about having received an email from Dr. Loertscher so here are its contents:

Thanks for your input last evening as we began to prioritize elements of the reading program that would make the most difference using the least amount of effort.

So important is this as a management principle, often learned in LIBR 204, that I could see that we needed more work before quality vision projects can be constructed.

So, we will continue this effort next week, but as I advised, you each need to do some thinking beforehand.

Therefore, would you draw up your personal priorities and send them to me in an email before class next Monday night.

You can use the categories that I listed on the white board at the end of class and if there is something that does not seem to fit, create a new category.

This will help us as a group move forward. It is said the the library media program contributes to achievement, but it does so only if you as the library media teacher make it do so.

After our synthesis next week, you should be able to decide on what you will present in your vision project and will be able to match an assessment measure that demonstrates that what you chose to implement did, in fact, achieve the envisioned results.

How powerful it would be if the library media teachers of the state could document and defend what there programs contribute. It would be a giant step forward!

I don't like to assign extra work, but feel that this is not extra since you would have to make these types of decisions anyway.

Thanks for your hard work. I have been reading som summaries of good articles being added to the wiki. These will help in the above task. It all pushes us forward into learning how to build exemplary programs.
