Reflection:

Our first step was to plan & organize the workload. Kelly created a checklist based on elements & criteria from Mod 10_1 assignment sheet. We imported it into Google Drive and together we checked off who would be responsible for developing which areas. The next thing we decided was which search model to use from our Mod 2 projects. We decided to use the I-Search model with its 4 main steps to organize our tabs and our LibGuide. From there we were able to name our four main tabs, and then we went with a home page for a beginning, and a final page for student & LibGuide evaluations.

After the initial planning stages we imported work we had already completed for our Mod assignment elements into their appropriate pages on the LibGuide. We each added other elements and met by phone to go over our progress.

One of the cool - fun things we added was quotes to each page for inspiration. Customizing the pages was also fun to play with. The added choice in column sizes and numbers and color features makes the LibGuide come alive and have a personality.

LibGuide's collaboration feature made it easy to work in. To complete the project we met by phone one more evening to discuss final details. We even reflected together via phone & Google docs.

This LibGuide is an excellent start for our school and the students who are researching the Holocuast. We consider it to be a work in progress and a platform that will help students have valuable information at their fingertips. We purposely included a survey for the students to complete in order to assess our LibGuide, and give us feedback about areas for improvement.
