Collaboration



Much of the work for these units will take place in the media center. The media specialist will be a vital component in helping with research skills and how to navigate both of the archives. I think anytime that techonology is being used there is an opportunity for collaboration with the media specialist since technology can very often be one of their areas of "expertise". The media specialist will be able to help students with the research aspect in terms of making searches. They will be able to demonstrate how to narrow searches, how use devices like Boolean Operators, how to find something specific on certain topic.

Within the scope of these projects, students eyes will be open to a lot of new information. They may want to know more about what they are looking at. The media specialist could play a role with this as well by offereing supplementary materials for students to look at for those that wish to explore further into some of the topics.
