Questions 1 and 2 page 177

1.      In a documented paper, compare and contrast librarian created online materials with those available on the Internet. What is the ideal combination of those materials discussed earlier in the book and school librarian-created online materials?

 

     The library I research on the Internet was the Library of Congress. There are many types of specialist that contribute information on this particular site. However, the digital reference specialist is the person that provides online resources for users. Some the online resources that the digital reference specialist provide include the following: blogs, post, poems, audio and video etc. The librarian created online materials are similar to the Library of Congress. The librarian created online materials provide classroom resources, list of periodicals, reference links and search engine links. Both libraries provide helpful and resourceful information in assisting others to find what they need in doing research. In addition, both libraries are well organized so that people can easily search for information. In contrast, the librarian created online materials provide library policy, schedule and mission. The Library Congress provides separate contact information of the entire specialist involved in provided different information on this particular website. The following website I use is http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/trethewey/ to obtain information in comparing and contrasting librarian created online materials with those that were available on the Internet.

 

 

     Both libraries have many things in common. In addition, both libraries could provide each other with online resources that they do not share. Both libraries would have the same online resources for students and teachers to use. Both libraries would provide a wealth of information for students and teachers if they share online resources. Furthermore, students and teachers enjoy libraries that provide them with many resources for doing research.

3.      Analyze the arguments for and against the use of computer teachers and computer classes instead of the integration of technology into the curriculum.

    Computer teachers and computer classes should have a place in schools. Computer teachers can teach students how to effectively use the computer. Computer teachers have a certification in computer science. They have taken away classes that consist of technology. Therefore, computer teachers can provide students with technological resources that assist them in learning particular concept. For example, if computer teachers do a lesson on erosion, he or she can have students to use the Internet for finding about erosion. However, regular teachers might do something different. Teachers might use a picture from the Internet to show students about erosion. Furthermore, it is a best to have computer teachers and computer classes in schools.

     Computer teachers and computer classes should not have a place in schools. Teachers should integrate technology into the curriculum. They can teach their lessons on PowerPoint. In addition, teachers can show students educational videos from the Internet. Teachers can teach with technology. Therefore, computer teachers and computer classes are not needed in schools. School should only allow teachers to integrate technology into the curriculum.  

Summary

     Chapter 11 was about integrating technology into the curriculum. The author suggests that school need computer teachers and computer classes for teaching technology. Computer teachers teach elementary students about keyboarding and how to use different educational software. In addition, computer teachers teach secondary students how to use advance educational software. The author also provided reasons to use technology in the curriculum. Students are motivated when technology is integrated into the curriculum. Integrating technology into the curriculum means that it provides new approaches in instruction. Integrating technology into the curriculum helps make teachers more productive. However, there is a major con in integrating technology into the curriculum. Technology constant changes therefore schools would have to purchase new operating systems often at high expense. Furthermore, computer teachers are best suited for teaching students how to use technology because they have a certification in computer science.
