Artifact # 10
Context:
In Block 436, at Appalachian State
University, we learned to create database entries on the literature that
we read in a children's literature course. Under the instruction
of Beth Frye we learned the importance of reading a variety of literature
in the classroom.
Impact:
I would use this database to search for
books that are appropriate for the grade level and subject that I plan
to teach. The database includes summaries, instructional ideas, and
ratings for each book.
Alignment:
This database will assist me in quickly
finding books that I can use in my classroom. It will be easy for me to
look up a book and see the reviewer's evaluation (Technology
Competency V C). By creating this database, I am communicating with
teachers and parents. They can easily look on the database for suggested
book readings (Technology Competency V D).
I will increase my knowledge of children's literature by referring to this
database in the future.
