Collaboration

Collaboration would be necessary between the classroom teacher and the media specialist to prepare a list of selected resources that students would be exposed to and using on computers in the computer lab at the library or in a portable lab which would be brought into the classroom. Ideally, a portable lab in the classroom would be most beneficial so that students could have access to online resources demonstrated in class immediately to begin their individual or group work. Some additional electronic resources could be utilized and requested by the teacher of the media specialist to help students visualize the phases of the moon through online activities and sites. Local community collaboration would also be utilized between the school and the local Department of Natural Resources representative involved in the Virgil "Gus" Grissom Memorial presentation at Spring Mill State Park. Spring Mill State Park houses the memorial and is a key resource that is located within our county and just 25 minutes from the North Lawrence Community Schools district. Also for any technology issues involving the use of smart boards or overhead computer projectors that the teacher was not comfortable setting up, the technology department may be utilized for training purposes.

Collaboration would be extensive between the classroom teacher and the media specialist. Due to the nature of the project, much Computer Lab time would be needed and perhaps some refresher courses in information seeking skills and strategies as noted in Days 3-5 as students begin researching their chosen topic. For final projects, the Art Teacher may be asked for some supplies for physical props, etc. As an optional teaching moment, the Media Teacher may be asked to video each student's final presentation so that the students could view their own presentation for critiquing. For some topics, students may wish to speak with other experts such as the president of the local Astronomy Club (see Stonebelt Astronomy Club)**.** Also the local Spring Mill State Park Grissom Memorial may receive some traffic from those students wishing to explore that facet of moon history and exploration. The public library in town may also receive some extra traffic, so I would call ahead and speak to the Young Adult/Children's Services Librarian about the types of materials my students may be requesting. For all of these local points, I would call to give them a heads up about my students interest as a courtesy call. Some students may want to interview family members if researching the history of the moon landings or some local tie to the Grissom family.
