Chelmsford HS Learning Commons

The Learning Commons Orientation is inspired--so much like our intro. class to the MLIS program at SJSU SLIS.  Not insignificant I think, the visual arrangement of the homepage is clear and takes a more serious, "academic" approach--looks like a college site perhaps.  And as far as what we're focusing on-- encouraging better teaching and learning through open conversations instead of top down assignments--the Common Grounds Cafe is perfect.  I know my own library is full of kids in the morning before classes getting last minute work done, socializing, and generally gearing up for the day.  How fantastic to make it also a place where they can have a comforting cup of coffee or tea--it really would become welcoming.
