Whole Class
(Check-out, lessons, or to use the resources/technology)
-
Always sign up on the resource reservation
calendar for the learning commons when you are bringing a whole class.
When you are signing up on the resource calendar for items
in the general category for the learning commons, please know that you may
have to sign up for multiple items at once to achieve the resource usage
you have in mind.
For example,
- If you are signed up for Lesson with Media Specialist, you will also need to sign up for Learning commons Tables so that your students have a place to sit while I do the lesson with them.
- If you want to use the a cart of the learning commons laptops and the student use the laptops in the learning commons, then you will need to sign up for Learning Commons Tables and Laptop Cart.
- If you want your class to check out books and be able to use the computers to search Destiny for their book check outs, you will need to sign-up for Whole Class Checkout and Learning Commons Computers 12. There are 2 computers reserved for Book Search all the time, but if you need more than these 2, sign up for the rest of the desktops in this way.

class)

Students should always have a clear task to
accomplish while visiting the learning commons without a teacher

If you sign a student’s application to be a library
volunteer, make sure you approve the time they have selected to volunteer in
the Learning Commons and that the selected time falls when the student is in
your class.

each week.
o
Make sure the student has noted the day and the time
