Comments from past participants:
"This course has helped me define what activities actually constitute
collaboration, has shown research confirming the important role the library media
program could play in student achievement, and has given me selection of activities
that I might use with my administration to build awareness of that importance. As a
result of this class, I will be working with our staff development committee to
design and implement a series of workshops that will teach staff how to work
together and create collaborative projects. "
~ Media Specialist from Marshfield, Wisconsin
"I liked the interaction with library media professionals around the world.
Realizing that my struggles were not unique to my district or even my state makes
me feel less alone and more supported in my efforts."
~ Media Specialist from Cross Plains, Wisconsin
"Collaboration is made easier when one goes through such a course as this one. The
process of collaboration becomes a manageable activity rather than an overwhelming
task. .As always, courses with a readily visible classroom outcome are not always
easy to find. This course stood out as one that does just that. "
~ Media Specialists from Department of Defense School in Germany
"We learned why collaboration is important, roadblocks we encounter, and what
elements must be addressed to create successful, meaningful collaborations which
are real learning experiences for students."
~ Media Specialist from Shoreham, New York
