Children's
Literature Database
Context: I contributed information to a Children’s Literature Database as an assignment for a Language and Literacy in the Elementary School course at Appalachian State University, under the guidance of Beth Frye. Impact: After reading and reviewing twenty children’s books, I entered book summaries, instructional ideas, and responses on an Appalachian State University Children’s Literature Database. Not only can my book reviews assist teachers world-wide in creating lesson plans, but I can, too, can benefit from the reviews of others. By accessing the database, I can tap into a wealth of information on books and lessons to assist me in developing and planning activities for the students in my classroom. Alignment: The Children’s Literature
Database assignment meets goal VC of the National Educational Technology
Standards for Teachers. By accessing the database and using the provided
information on children’s books, I demonstrate how the use of technology
can be employed to make my job easier. For example, by reading book
summaries, lesson ideas, and responses that are posted in the database,
I illustrate a way in which technology can assist teachers in managing
time and increasing productivity (VC).
