Active Learning

I love the idea of Active Learning, because I really feel that this is the type of learner I am, however, it does take up soooooo much time. But it is time I love to spend because being a librarian is my dream. Today, my group met about our active learning projects and it was extremely productive. I am wanting to use a program called Ready, Set, Go that is a 3 part DVD series preparing parents and pre-k kids for school. It is recommened to be implemented into a public library and I thought I also could open a discussion board or wiki and even do it via virtual story time with the public library. I am not sure however how I can do this and must explore copyright. My boss is opposed to me ever doing anything related to school so even though Smart Start recommends doing it with a library he is opposed to letting me do it. He doesn't mind if our Child Care Resource and Referral does it but as Program Coordinator he doesn't want me to do it...which is my biggest hurdle. I mean it could be implemented with our CVCC staffed computer lab and offered as an online training to child care providers - I see this as program related! This is what I would love to do but it may not work out. Even if it doesn't I am meeting with the director of libraries for Alexander Co. next week to discuss what she sees as technology needs in the community. Something will fall into place :)
