My Library Learning Commons


I designed this graphic inspired by the LIIITE in the Learning Commons model. I applied each aspect to the model to both students and educators in the context of the ISTE standards. In this case, educators refers to teacher librarians and teachers. I tried to incorporate the language from the ISTE standards for students and educators as well as allude to TPACK and SAMR. I would envision this graphic being printed and displayed as a poster in the Learning Commons. I would also consider using it as a "conversation starter" in a staff meeting or at a pro-d event, getting staff to discuss and explain HOW each point is being demonstrated or could be demonstrated through current teaching practices in the school. Any feedback is appreciated! 

Questions for feedback:

1. Do you feel this graphic is an effective communication tool?

2. What could I change or add to make the graphic clearer or more appealing?

    Kirstin: I really like the design. It is easy to see the content. I think maybe you could choose to use either "and" or "&", to maintain consistency, rather than using both throughout. Also, when you say, "Educators provide skills to access ...", perhaps you can explain that more clearly, even just using the word "teach". I hope this helps and isn't too nitpicky!

    Christy: Hi Sarah! I also really like the design of your graphic. What stood out for me right away was how you seamlessly incorporated the ISTE Standards. The only thing that I could suggest for improvement is keeping the information consistent in all of the boxes. I noticed that the "Instructional Design" box is the only box that starts off with the word "educators" instead of "students". Great work, Sarah!

      Thank you for the feedback- I was not sure what to put for Instructional Design, as the teachers create the lessons, but I think I can make a connection back to how students benefit from purposefully designed lessons.
