The Media Center has a variety of uses. Books are
checked in and out, stories are read and listened to, Reading Counts tests are
taken, research is conducted in a variety of ways, and many other activities
occur in the Media Center.
Students can access the Media
Center catalog by means of the computer. The program used is called
"Spectrum." The students know how to find books using key words, titles,
authors, or subjects.
Reading Counts is a software
program that emphasizes reading. Reading comprehension is assessed by means of
the RC testing program. This program may be accessed in the Media Center and
also in the classroom.
Research is done through the use of a variety of media. Encyclopedias are still used, as well as, the Internet. The Internet is a valuable tool because information on it is up-to-date. A great deal of the information is at the student's level.
