Establish a central school site. Areas such as the library, media center, or a department office can house tapes. The location should be easily accessible to teachers. Identify an individual to oversee the collection and set up a centralized checkout system. A librarian, media specialist, or a teacher can coordinate and maintain the collection.
Successful collections are usually the result of one person's organization.
Select the Instructional Series which best meet curriculum needs and objectives. Coordinate school-wide to avoid duplication of efforts. Identify a VCR for taping. Label all tapes. If taping is a problem, recruit a parent or community volunteers to help.
