Welcome to my wiki. I am Mary Beth Bauernschub. I am the library media specialist at Rockledge Elementary School. I have been the library media specialist for five years. In May 2008, I recieved my masters in library science from the University of Maryland. Over the summer, I attended The Clarice Smith Arts Institute at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum. Throughout the week, we learned ways to use technolgy to teach or integrate art into our curriculum.

This is my third year with the STEP program in the Prince George's County Public Schools. As a library media specialist, I feel it is part of my job to keep up with and learn how to use new technology. I then can share what I have learned with the students and with fellow teachers to keep them up to date, as much as possible in this blazing fast world of technolgy and its impact on education.

Three goals this year are to: 1) I would like to video conference with the American Art Museum with my Grade Four students. 2) I will hold staff workshops on data bases that the county purchased for use by both students and staff. I will also do this with the tools that we got in STEP year one, digital camera, digital video, and midi board. 3) I will create and use the Google tools, such as Google sites, Google documents, and Google video to continue my personal and professional growth as a 21st Century learner and teacher.
