Building the Plan

In an earlier post, I shared a floorplan for a wonderful little school library doing amazing things here in Victoria, BC.


I haven't been lucky enough to secure a continuing library job within my school district, though a number of positive relationships with working TLs gives me a sense of what makes school libraries great. Having said that, all of my library design ideas are purely aspirational.


Here's my linoit board activity with my the design challenge statement from module 2


My design statement for resource consideration was:

Create a district standard resource package of up-to-date hands-on learning to provide equity of access to applied skills, design, and technology instruction to all learners in our school district.

This statement seems to be chasing something in the UDL realm, so I will likely be paring this statement down to something more specific, but from a redesign experiment for the library's physical and philosophical space, here is the linoit board I came up with.


Can you redesign the library in the abstract? These considerations imagine a library model that emphasizes broad-spectrum ADST skills in the curriculum. Note: this is a screenshot, but the linoit board should be embedded at the bottom of this post.

Hi Christian,

The 'screenshot' of your Linot board does not do the actual board justice. You have a lot more information on the linked board. One question I had was about the different font sizes you used. Do they donate importance? If you, you may want to indicate that somewhere on your board. If not, having them all a uniform size would make it easier to read.

Thanks,

Keegan

Hi Keegan,

Thanks for that - this post was the first go at the Linoit board... the followup board was revised based on what other classmates had done with their work. Thanks for commenting here!


I guess the font sizes are meant to serve as headings, but in the new board maybe it looks a bit different... ?


Thanks for your comments!
