Dawn Nelson, former elementary and middle school media specialist, coordinates a team of library media specialists, technology integration specialists, and support staff for 30 sites. The fully flexibly scheduled libraries allow the team to collaborate and support research projects, Google Docs, and Moodle as we work to accomplish our goal of helping students learn. Project Copernicus, a BYOD program, has been implemented in nearly all of the schools. In August of 2013 a vision of Digital Learning for All was completed, with a goal of transformative learning. An initial step for that project will be 1:1 rollout of iPads to 1800 teachers and approximately 5000 students in the 2014-15 school year. She is a Past-President of MEMO (MN Educational Media Organization) and part of the 2011 AASL Conference Committee. In her spare time she enjoys reading, cooking, music and time with her family. |
