Lincoln Elementary School

Lincoln Elementary School Library

I really enjoyed going to Lincoln Elementary. I thought the Memios were a really great idea. I like the concept that the can travel from room to room. I also like how you can insert a USB into it. Then you have everything you need into one compact tool. I enjoyed seeing how the students could interact with the device too. They basically can go a whole day and everything they do is interactive on the board. I think this would be a great thing to have in any school. I have been to the Waterloo Schools and they have the Promethian Boards. Although those are a good idea, there are times where writing something on the board would be more beneficial than having it up electronically. For instance what if the system goes down? But at Lincoln, if the system goes down, they still have their white boards because that is what is being used to project onto.

I also liked going to Lincoln because it helped me decide what I would like to do for my masters degree. I would like to get my masters in libraries and schools. The librarian at this school wasn't just the librarian. She was the go to person. If someone needs help with the electronics in the building they go to her, if they need help with resources for the classroom they go to her. But she also has the component of teaching. Everyday she gets to teach a class. I think her job is the perfect job in a school!
