All About Sam

 

Hello everyone!
My name is Samantha Howard and I go by Sam. I am located in the Charleston, SC area. More specifically, I live in Goose Creek and work in North Charleston. I am currently a fifth grade ELA teacher for both core and gifted students. This is my sixth year teaching and I work very closely with my school librarian, and I am working on transitioning to become a school media specialist myself. I have always been an avid reader and my first job in high school was even at Barnes and Noble. As far as true library experience, I have none! I started this program this past summer so I have only taken five classes, but I am very excited/ eager to gain experience. My dream job after graduation would be as a school media specialist on any grade level, or at least continuing to work with children/ youth. 
On a personal note, I have two children; a  three year old and a one year old, so I keep very busy! My husband works for Barnes and Noble and books are a huge part of our lives. I also enjoy pop culture in the form of binge watching TV shows or movies when time allows. 
For my song choice: "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks. My father actually chose my name, Samantha, from this song so it is very fitting! I am also a big country music fan and enjoy this song specifically since it is so upbeat. 
I am very exited to work with everyone!

Legos in the School Maker Space

  Since starting my librarian degree, I have been fascinated with makerspaces! I dived deep into learning about them, especially digital makerspaces, with my digital curation assignment and you can explore all the amazing resources I found here: Maker Space Curration One component of makerspaces that I have been particularly interested in is incorporating Legos. They are very versatile and well known to all ages of students with varying levels of building from Duplo Legos for little hands, regular Legos for older students, and even advances build sets for teenagers. An article in the School Library Journal by Karen Jensen titled “ MakerSpace:Legos! The one tool every makerspace needs! ” offers great insight into how Legos can be utilized in school spaces. The author also provides ideas on how to add to basic Legos to offer more creativity and challenges. Since Legos are so well known, they offer a safe and comfortable space for students to explore their creativity and then conn...

Inclusive Resource - Natural Reader (Module 7)

Libraries and media centers are seen as the heart and soul of school and therefor need to be the most inclusive. The library should feel like a home to all students so that they are comfortable and have equal access to all the resources the library has to offer. Students of all abilities should be able to attend library classes and use the available resources. According to A Summary of the Evidence on Inclusive Education, “Placing students with disabilities within mainstream classes without accompanying structural changes to, for example, organization, curriculum and teaching and learning strategies, does not constitute inclusion” (2016, pg. 3). This demonstrates that inclusion is ideal for all students, but only when proper accessibility is put in place.  One such tool for including learning in the library setting is Natural Reader – an online program that converts text to spoken audio for students to listen to the information. This tool helps students who have vision disabilit...

Mob Mentality and Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying, or bullying using technology, has become a prominent issue in today’s society due to large social media platforms that are at the finger tips of almost every person due to cellphones. This issue is especially prominent in children who use technology as a way to hide their identity and therefore say and do things they might not in person, especially when they see other people doing the same things online. I am always surprised how one instance of digital bullying spirals out of control due to mob mentality. WebMD describes mob mentality as occurring when “individuals are influenced by a larger group” (2021). Children are already susceptible to influence and peer pressure, so this idea of conforming to a group is easily caused by their desire to fit in or at least not draw unwanted attention to oneself. It is easier for a child to hide behind a screen and “bully” another child when they feel both anonymous and like they are doing the same thing all their friends are doin...
