Recuerdo que al principio empezamos a hacer la primera mat solamente para presentar un proyecto en el STEAM fest de ese año, pero al ver que tanta gente estaba interesada, decidimos continuar. Desde ese ese momento supimos que este proyecto llegaría muy lejos; y así fue cuando miss Garcia y miss Serrano pudieron entregar una de las mats en Estados Unidos. Nuestro siguiente objetivo fue lograr donar al menos una colchoneta aquí.<br style="user-select: text;" /><br style="user-select: text;" />Al elaborar tantas mats en estos años logramos motivar a mucha gente para que se nos uniera, lo cual fue una experiencia muy gratificante. Ahora que por fin logramos encontrar a alguien que nos ayude con la donación me pone muy feliz la idea de que al final logramos alcanzar la meta que nos habíamos propuesto hasta ya mucho tiempo y que logramos ayudar a la gente que lo necesitaba.<br style="user-select: text;" /><br style="user-select: text;" />Espero que este proyecto se mantenga en el colegio durante muchos años, por que es una idea verdaderamente innovadora y que puede ayudar a muchos.

This made us feel guilty because we sometimes complain about little things when people with disabilities wish to have legs, arms or other parts of the human body. We hope you reflect on these issues and think about how people live their lives missing a part of their bodies that make their life complicated. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The question we have to ask you is what would you do if you were them?

During the visit, we were able to show our visitors around the physical and digital LRC as well as share good practices in the running and development of school libraries as resources centres for learning. Our primary focus was on educational provisions for the school community, collection access, and development, community service projects, and digital equipment and resources. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKq2qN_98sugMq6DNdh3U5W1cDVcpILhC58tkznaa-11sFOaAQJAgRtqPQzdj-6PW0Gd0Bz_VTGc7GIkvOEc6_Btuk8ysUkCFc3UT9H5cJKNNjlu8_QTqpr8hzFG_K0f2NAYuYpe-We9K/s1650/Screen+Shot+2021-12-01+at+16.49.52.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1118" data-original-width="1650" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKq2qN_98sugMq6DNdh3U5W1cDVcpILhC58tkznaa-11sFOaAQJAgRtqPQzdj-6PW0Gd0Bz_VTGc7GIkvOEc6_Btuk8ysUkCFc3UT9H5cJKNNjlu8_QTqpr8hzFG_K0f2NAYuYpe-We9K/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-12-01+at+16.49.52.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p><br /></p><p>The visit would not have been complete without an opportunity to explore experiential learning ideas featuring some of our favourite digital learning tools including <a href="https://ozobot.com/" target="_blank">Ozobot</a>, Sphero <a href="https://sphero.com/products/sphero-mini" target="_blank">Mini </a>and <a href="https://sphero.com/products/sphero-bolt" target="_blank">Bolt</a>, and <a href="https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads/mindstorms-ev3/software" target="_blank">Lego Robots</a>, our beloved <a href="https://www.makerbot.com/resources/3d-printing-in-education/" target="_blank">3D printers</a> and <a href="https://intl.the3doodler.com/" target="_blank">pens</a>.

These technologies while used by students from 6th-12th grade in certain subjects will soon form the backbone of our proposed LRC Mixed Reality Lab or MR Lab for short. </p><p>The MR Lab is an internal project which the LRC Team has begun to develop in conjunction with the ICT department. Through this project, we endeavor to insert AR and VR experiences more predominantly into student learning across disciplines both within and outside of lessons, in a safe, dedicated space, within the LRC. It will provide opportunities to explore both virtual and augmented reality through preexisting experiences across platforms, as well as provide the resources for students to view and interact with their own design projects in 3D and 360-degree formats. We will share more on this in future blog posts, as the project develops further.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZYJ85KGp0g7F3kuMfehUexcekUpeWPYJ5ex4y9kudgq4mSdZljDqRXRw3Pnm9lFU_ODuSf9MIkojTdnWVneg9L0fw5aQT6U-B-kQoiZabJZPEsC-GfDJlNIJYc8fA0awZ0iHHSWIFph_/s2048/Screen+Shot+2021-12-01+at+16.50.35.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1168" data-original-width="2048" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZYJ85KGp0g7F3kuMfehUexcekUpeWPYJ5ex4y9kudgq4mSdZljDqRXRw3Pnm9lFU_ODuSf9MIkojTdnWVneg9L0fw5aQT6U-B-kQoiZabJZPEsC-GfDJlNIJYc8fA0awZ0iHHSWIFph_/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-12-01+at+16.50.35.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>As educators, we believe it is vital for schools to work together as part of the larger educational community. This is a vision we share with many of the educational organisations in the country including <a href="https://www.ebm.edu.sv/ebm.php?lngchg=en" target="_blank">La Escuela Maquilishuat.</a> Communication, shared initiatives, and support between centres of learning and their libraries are fundamental to meeting the current and projected needs of our school communities and it is important that we explore ways in which to address the challenges facing institutions, together. Our meeting, therefore, would not have been complete without a discussion of the concerns facing libraries today and strategies for further improvement and outreach within our educational communities. As a result, we have also identified further opportunities through which to further extend the relationships that currently exist between our two schools and have planned to meet up again in the new year to discuss additional collaborative initiatives and events between the two schools. </p><p><br /></p><p>One such opportunity was that of the Sleeping Mat Club in which students work together outside of normal lessons to create sleeping mats out of plastic bags for those less fortunate than themselves.</p><p>

Personally, I feel a need to get away from Google applications at times (says the diehard Googler. The irony is not lost on me.) and try something different. If I feel that way, I can only imagine how the kids must feel, as we pile on more docs, slides and Jamboards. These do provide a stable, familiar approach, which is certainly not to be sniffed at. Lately however, I have been feeling a bit 'Jamboarded' out (she says as she creates yet another new one, this time for Term 3<span style="margin-left: 0.2ex; margin-right: 0.2ex;"><img alt="😳" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f633" data-image-whitelisted="" goomoji="1f633" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f633" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span>) Don’t get me wrong, I really like Jamboard, and yes I have used <a href="https://miro.com/contact/education/" target="_blank">Miro</a> instead, at times, but I think it is time to up my game a tad. <div><div> </div><div>If you are feeling that way as well, it may be worth your while to revisit some of the other web apps out there. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I have used all sorts of web apps since March of last year to try and make lessons more accessible, interactive, and give kids a chance to collaborate in real time outside of Google applications. Some of those are listed below as well as some I keep meaning to explore or revisit.</span></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Whiteboard Chat-I don’t know if any of you have tried this but it looks really cool. Have a look at Richard Byrnes <a href="https://www.freetech4teachers.com/2021/02/whiteboardchat-create-online.html">Free Technology for Teacher article</a> for more details.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am testing out <a href="https://parlayideas.com/" target="_blank">Parlay</a><div class="donut-container" id="sTAzbCWHaL" style="cursor: pointer; display: -webkit-inline-box; height: 0px; margin-left: 4px; width: 0px;"><div data-reactroot=""></div></div> in the upcoming weeks for virtual round tables, to see how well it works in online lessons with Meet rolling simultaneously. My computer has a tendency to slow to a halt when I challenge it too much, so it could make for a very interesting experience to say the least.<div><br /></div><div>We mustn't forget that <a href="https://www.kialo.com/" target="_blank">Kialo</a> for debates is a great app, as well. I use it quite a bit with my IB kids and know it would be good for debate work lower down in the school.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I went on a planning marathon and in doing so I forced myself yesterday to convert a presentation into one using <a href=" https://www.peardeck.com/googleslides" target="_blank">Pear Deck for Google Slides,</a> again in an attempt to create interactive slides for a lesson in the next two weeks, but know I can use it more effectively than this most recent attempt. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://edpuzzle.com/ " target="_blank"> Edupuzzle </a>deserves recognition as a simple to use, web app that lets you create lessons using video and student responses. It is free to teachers as a pro license until the end of July. I have one ready to go for one of my IB groups shortly and am looking forward to measuring its success.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.sutori.com/" target="_blank">Sutori i</a>s a tool for creating interactive lessons that is worth a look at as well. I keep nagging myself about it (It helps that I am on Johnathan from Sutori's mailing list) and mean to revisit it one day very soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>We have used <a href="https://info.flipgrid.com/" target="_blank">Flipgrid </a>a few times in 6th grade, at the beginning of the school year and more recently for the SDG project too. Creative project news reports on animal cams will be coming in over the next few weeks and will give us greater insight into the work being done with it. I have found it to be a great too, in the past when we have used it for Pen Pals and other special projects.</div><div><br /></div><div>On one final note, <a href="https://nearpod.com/" target="_blank">Nearpod </a><wbr></wbr>and <a href="https://voicethread.com/ ," target="_blank">VoiceThread </a>which we used quite a bit in the early days of the LRC, seem to have come a long way.
