Letter to a Future Library Science Student Responsibilities Fraser heights secondary school is home to and known for its prestigious academic related courses, such as honours courses in math, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and to Science Academy, a joint venture program with Simon Fraser University. That is not however what Fraser Heights is limited to. The school offers a plethora of extravagant courses including various workshop courses, computer based design courses(CAD, CNC) and to courses like library science. Library science, as the name implies is a broad based library course. It opens up as an elective to students from grade 10 to 12, however, the grade 12 course only opens up if you have taken one of the previous library science courses. The course allows for anywhere between one to four students per block. Students rotate between working at the desk and performing various tasks in library. This aspect is what differentiates it from other courses. The t...

Web 2.0 Tools for Schools Name of application and URL. Note Book Cast https://www.notebookcast.com/ What  “type” of document/project does it create ( ie .  Prezi  helps you create online presentations) ? Creates an online white board. What  “type” of project would it be best suited for (essay, class presentation, group work…)? This Web 2.0 tool would be suited for group work as it allows multiple users to collaborate on a single whiteboard. Due to the way this tool is structured, it seems as if this tool could be useful for a collaborated  art project. How do you use it?   The tool is used for simple drawings. You simply give the link to the room you're in to whoever you're working with and you can collaborate on a single online whiteboard.   Create a “sample” project. I drew an image of one of the computers in the learning commons. Create a tutorial or instructions for student:   Go ...

Library Careers: 1. Done, I read it. 2. Teacher-librarians are also teachers and therefore also typically have a bachelor’s degree in Education or a degree in something similar. They must hold a BC College of Teachers’ certificate, and have commonly taught in a classroom for several years. Although not necessary, many Teacher-librarians have a Master’s Degree in Library Science. 3. The M.L.I.S. program is a professional program open to those holding a bachelor's degree considered suitable by the admissions committee, and which meets the minimum admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies 4: Universities that offer a degree in Librarianship: University of Alberta:  University of British Columbia: Program For Public Librarian: Master of Library and Information Studies(MLIS) On-campus MLIS: On-campus course for Master of Library and Information Studies. C ourse-based or  thesis-based  degree on a full-time or part-time basi...

3D Printed Hidden Leaf Village Headband The base of the model is being constructed in this picture. A good base and a good foundation are necessary for a model to have good durability. Finishing touches of the model are being done. The top is smoothed out and the finer details are made. From learning about 3D printing to the actual execution, the experience was interesting and taught me a lot. I had initially failed my first 3D printing and ended the printing early. Some of the plastic didn't melt properly and had dragged along, creating an unstable base. The second time around, it worked better. I made sure everything was set up properly. The 3D printing process itself was quite interesting. I got to understand how the 3D printer worked and how the printer decides what to do. Overall, 3D printing was a lot of fun. It was intriguing to see something that was just a model on a computer screen actually get printed out in front of my eyes.

I chose to focus on the aspect of the Learning Commons that people most commonly forget about. Many of the students at Fraser Heights don't know or even realize that the MakerSpace exists, and this video advertisement was made to inform those oblivious students of it's existence and it's many helpful tools and features.
