Logic Model

In creating our original logic model I found that we worked backwards from our goal of increasing student learning backwards. I think we were overreaching and trying to accomplish too much. We pared it down last week to just one goal to increase technology use through writing a grant. I think this will be a great experience to prepare us for our own libraries when money runs low!

Change Game

I found the change game to be one of my favorite activities throughout this entire graduate program. I realized that there is a hierarchy and chain of command that should be used or else it will make life harder than necessary! I also found that the power chart can come in handy when it comes to teacher buy-in. By getting a few prominent players into our idea, they were able to use their influence to create a tidal wave of change. It was reassuring to know that there are a select few that will never change nor embrace it!
