As the media specialist, you are the source for all information relating to media and technology. The best way to share this information is to create collaborative lessons with teachers and provide professional development for staff. Students and teachers will not use resources that are available to them if they do not know how to use them properly or if they do not know they exist. By creating opportunities to teach others about 21st-century literacy skills, the overall knowledge of these skills within the school increases. When the media specialist has a good rapport with their staff and students, the opportunities for sharing information to create engaging learning experiences grows. When conducting my collaborative lessons with fellow teachers in the media specialist role, I was able to share different technologies and ways to assess student’s knowledge. I enjoyed being able to share my knowledge of 21st-century literacy skills with teachers and students.
FRIT 7734: Collaborative Lesson
Reflection:
The Collaborative lesson focuses on elements 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. During our collaboration hours, Mrs. Smith and I decided that a research project on Native Americans would be an engaging way to teach students about research skills and digital tools. The students did not have any experience with conducting research with print or online materials. When creating the digital project, Mrs. Smith and I wanted to keep all of the student's materials and resources in one spot for easy access. As we assigned the students their Google Slides presentations, we had the most trouble with students sharing the presentations with each other and submitting them to Google Classroom. We updated the directions slides as we completed Lesson 2 to provide Mrs. Smith with an updated project for next year. Overall the lessons went really well and the students did a good job of completing online research for it being their first time.

FRIT 7734: Collaborative Lesson Curated List
Reflection:
The Collaborative Lesson Curated List focuses on elements 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. When creating the lesson with Mrs. Smith we provided all of the resources for the students within the Google Slides document to keep all of their research and project materials in one place. This was the student's first experience with researching skills and did not possess any prior knowledge skills of online research. I have created the curated list for Mrs. Smith to use next time she teaches this unit. The resources are broken up into sections by icon color:
Blue dots - project materials
Green dots - websites containing Native American culture resources
Red dots - websites containing information on Native Americans
Yellow stars - websites containing information on specific Native American regions and tribes
