Where teaching and media specialists meet...

It is interesting for me too look at a media specialist's role as a teacher. I have always looked at myself as a teacher and now that have devoted myself into becoming a media specialist I am still going to be able to label myself as a teacher. It is going to be an adjustment going from being a primary teacher to being a collaborator. The thing I am most looking forward to is being able to work with a variety of classes on a regular basis. In Buffy Hamilton's article, it was informative to read about the importance of collaboration between the librarian and the teacher. The thing that stuck out the most to me was the idea of collaborative assessment. From experience now with recent assignments, I realized how beneficial it is to not only assess your progress but have a peer assess you as well.
