My Print Resources
These downloadable, printable, .pdf files are the
handouts I have shared with teachers and students this year. I am
presenting them here in alphabetical order by the title of each
newsletter. Note that I use different newsletters for different
age-groups or classroom teachers. That is why some months have more
editions of a newsletter than others.
One of the reasons I create and maintain these types of
Websites is so that I can keep my work organized and share it with others
- organizing these handouts by topic instead of date created makes it
easier search my growing collection of print resources.
Mr. Breitsprecher's Bookslists: Teen Reads
Looking for some fun reads?
Here are some suggestions from great authors that others are enjoying.
I have put together these lists by checking reading suggestions from
leading libraries, professional journals, and teen book sites. This
set of booklists is a "work in progress", so please check back soon!
Your Library Today
These newsletters are all
created to support themes I get from classroom teachers. I share
them with teachers and students. Often I use them in my library
lessons, but I also give them to classroom teachers so that they can
integrate Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Information &
Technology Literacy into their lessons too.
Today's Children's Literature
I create and share these
newsletters with teachers. They are my library's "house organ" and
are designed to communicate issues that are part of the current dialog in
professional library media journals, online discussion groups, and leading
websites.
Handouts: Library Media
Here are additional print
resources I create to support my library lessons. I find that
children of all ages are impressed when they see that teachers create
professional looking documents for their students. Even my
Kindergarten students get excited about taking these types of handouts
home. They want to share them with their families. I want to
model the type of presentations styles that they will eventually learn
with today's desktop publishing software.

Computer Activities
I actually have more years
experience teaching computer skills to high school and middle school
students than I have as a library media specialist. I am grateful to
have had an opportunity to share creative computer skills with many
hundreds of teens and young adults. Please click
HERE to see some of the computer
activities I shared in computer classes.
Want to learn to learn
technology? Roll up your sleeves and work with kids! I find
that laying out projects with an attractive graphical style, utilizing
screen captures of dialog boxes, tool bars, and menus is an effective way
to work with "digital natives." They often learn computers in a
nonlinear manner, relying on intuition and previous experience from
technology that they have taught themselves.
