Okay, I have received numerous posts about curriculum and advice for the elementary librarian which I will post soon. However, another question has arisen out of these responses. Are computer skills generally a portion of the library curriculum? A couple of people have expressed concern about my idea to teach basic computer skills. But, when doing my practicum in graduate school, I worked in a county in which this was written into the basic library curriculum and I think it's necessary to teach information literacy skills. Of course, this county had received a grant for laptop carts in every library so this could be where teaching computer skills came from. How many of you teach basic computer skills? If so, do you have a computer teacher in the school? Of course, in my situation, the principal is already very enthusiastic about my suggestion of teaching computer skills so I may have to do so. I just want to say that I love children's literature and love to read. I do hope to instill a love of reading in the students but I don't want to be the type of librarian who does no teaching, simply reads to the kids to give the teachers a break. Thanks in advance for any responses.
