You need to know in the IMC

Welcome to the Sunset Elementary School Instructional Media Center!

(Also called the library or the I.M.C.)

Purpose:
Sunset Elementary School Instructional Media Center (IMC) collaborates with teachers, students, and parents to support and enhance each student’s learning, build lifelong skills in elementary curriculum areas and informational literacy, encourages an appreciation of literature, promotes technology, and provides access to informational resources (print, nonprint, and online) to further research skills. Students learn and apply skills that make them independent learners, and lifelong readers.

Remember good research detectives use a variety of sources including books, magazines, posters, videos, DVDs and many more. Internet is just one tool to use in research. Double check your facts. Just because you read it on the internet does NOT make it true.

Volunteers are needed!

Schedule

The Sunset IMC uses a semi-flexible schedule. Each classroom is scheduled in at least once a week at a specific time. Often they are scheduled a second time on this fixed schedule. The time that is not scheduled for classes is called “flex time”. This time is used in several ways; it is flexible time for individuals, small groups, and classrooms to come in to use the IMC resources. This is also my planning time as a teacher, my library/media administration time, technology troubleshooting/teaching time, and reader guidance time.
