Today was at least a little different than the past 2 days. I came in slightly early and started out by getting involved and showing my example art presentations to one of the classes that I am working with. I then helped them set up their PowerPoints and save them and get started on them for the remainder of the class period.
Ellen then told me that she had to make an instruction podcast for how to use a website. She said that she had done 3 already but would show me how to do it if I wanted to. I wanted to. She introduced me to Camstudio. I then used Camstudio to record a podcast about how to use a site called Bibme.org for bibliographies. After making it, I uploaded it to the website that I have created through the district for my classes.
I also did a small amount of weeding back in the AV history department, then finished up the day doing the same thing as I had done earlier with another class.

Today I did pretty much the same thing I did yesterday. I started out by weeding in the AV section, this time the history section for about the first hour to an hour and a half. Then the art teacher came in, gave me some more of the things that he would like to see in the student's PowerPoints, and then I went back and fixed my templates and examples. I then went on to my Moodle so that I could upload these presentations to my Moodle so that others could have access to them, and that was pretty much my day. Not a whole lot to do in 4 hours I guess.

Today I both started and ended my day the same way. Ellen is trying to weed the AV sedtion. One of the largest sections in the AV is the History section. Since my background is in history Ellen thought that it would be a good idea to have me weed the entire History section. So I spent about the first hour and last half hour of the day watching videos and going through the history section of the AV to weed out anything that is really old, outdated, or irrelevant.
In between, I worked on the project that I am doing with Ellen and the art teacher. I created an example of what we would like to see out of the students so that they know what is expected of them. I found some more books that they could use on art movements, and that pretty much took up my whole 4 hours. It goes by fast.

I spent the afternoon today at my high school assignment - Milwaukee South High School. I started out by doing some cataloging. Ellen had given me a DVD/CD-ROM that she could not find cataloged anywhere by anybody. As part of my final project for my cataloging class I cataloged this item. When I came in today Ellen showed me how to actually enter the information into Destiny. I proceded to catalog this item, as well as looking up cataloging information for about 15 other items that had been donated. I went through the whole process of findind a proper MARC record for the item, copying it, barcoding it, and putting it into the South catalog. I finished later by printing off spine labels and putting those on.
In between doing that, I met with and art teacher who is assigning his classes a research project on art periods, movements, and artists. I had previously created a PowerPoint template for him to look over, as well as found sites that would be helpful for his students to use. We discussed how the project is going, what he would like to see more of, and how we're going to teach this to the class. I then went and searched for books that students could use while doing the project, in addition to the website that they will use.

Today is the last day of my official practicum hours at Reagan, my place of employment. I will continue to work here because it is my job. I have actually lumped together about 3 days of hours because I have been doing the same things for pretty much all of them. I have continued to rebuild the AV section. After weeding out all of the old and unnecessary VHS tapes, I began to rebuild and replace them with updated versions on Titlewave. Something that surprises me is that there is not as much of a selection of DVDs that I would think there would be on many subjects. Somebody obviously purchased these topics on VHS tapes, I can't imagine why they wouldn't put similar things onto DVD by now. It has been much harder than I thought to find a lot of replacements. I am going to continue on this process though the end of the school year and probably into the summer.
