The Berlin High School Media Center has responded to changes in society and technology. Innovations in technology have revolutionized the way information is found and used. Access to electronic media has greatly increased opportunities for learning. To be productive citizens, students need to learn how to conduct electronic searches. They also need to be taught the responsibility required of them with these increased opportunities.
Students become producers and consumers of information in a variety of sources and formats.
Students are actively engaged in the learning process. The students gain information through the search process and then create a meaningful product that communicates that knowledge effectively. Developing expertise in accessing, evaluating, and using information creates authentic learning. The Media Center is one part of a learning community. This community is comprised of students, staff and parents, as well as local, regional, state, national, and international communities.
