Podcasts: Competency #3

On the TeacherTube site I found a series of podcasts called "Librarian and Classroom Teacher Collaboration". There are 4 parts to this podcast. I chose the second part because it discusses 4 ways in which librarians are educators. 1. They teach information literacy. 2. They work to be an instructional partner. 3. They are an information resource. 4. They are advocates for free choice reading. On my original posting I said that I wanted to look at ways to link the library and the classroom. This podcast shows ways in which to do that. It is sometimes silly, but it gets the point across. You can find it at:
