Re: GEN: Classroom to Media Center

[Dan Robinson <dlrbnsn2@eclipse.net>]

Well... at the time that I left teaching (5th grade) and switched to
school libraries, NJ had dropped the word "library" from the
certification. My certification is as a School Media Specialist.
However the courses that made up the certification were most
definitely about the schools. I only had one 'media' course, where
we learned about the different types of media equipment: 16mm
projectors, 35mm filmstrip projectors, both manual and auto
advance, 8mm film loop projectors, and a few new fangled
devices... TV, video cameras and vcrs. <grin>.
