Veteran media coordinator, Amy Snyder, tells how she used World Book Online to collaborate:
"I collaborated with the art teacher, Kathleen Bennett, using Toucans. Ms. Bennett worked with the first graders to create toucans out of paper plates and during their regular Media center time we located facts about Toucans. We used World Book online, new books on Toucans from Capstone and other books in our nonfiction section in the Media Center. I then created a bulletin board display that is in our Media Center that has their art creations and facts on Toucans. Ms. Bennett and I are planning other collaborations throughout the school year and this was our first attempt. We also used this team teaching idea as one of our PDP goals for this academic year. It was a fun and creative way to get younger students involved in research and locating important facts."
