Once a week, teachers work in the lab with Snider or master technology teacher Jay Wallace, or on their own. The focus of this scheduled time is on meeting the goals of the Kyrene school district's technology curriculum. In addition to reading several of the books and participating in classroom activities, students produce plays using American Girls Premiere software and develop Web pages to show what they're learning. Students develop electronic portfolios using HyperStudio. When parents come in for a conference, students lead them through the portfolio.
Teachers are the ones who know the kids.
But the librarian may be able to take a curriculum item, develop it, and maybe make it more meaningful by using technology.
