Greetings from the Library Media Center!
I am Vicki McLean, newly arrived at C.C. Spaulding Elementary and very excited about helping our students "Reach for the Stars!"
As media specialist, I have many responsibilities, but chief among them are helping children enjoy reading and instructing them in the skills required for the 21st-Century learner.
I have taught in Person, Vance and other Durham County schools. I love to infuse technology with everything I teach and I love to introduce the library to my students from a point of view they have never imagined.
My academic background includes a B.A. (English/Communications), a M.A.(Educational Technology), and a M.L.S. (Library Science) all from North Carolina Central University.
My personal life includes two daughters, one son, and four grandchildren.
I love to find new technology tools that I can incorporate into my lessons. Libraries of the future will look very different that most do today and I am preparing my student to bridge the gap into finding information in different formats.
This year I am excited to coach the team that will win the Battle of the Books Competition! We plan to have two book fairs this year and other celebrations to show we LOVE reading at C.C. Spaulding!
