Part I: Identification of Learning Problem
General Audience
My target audience is the pre-k – fifth grade faculty of a local, inner-city elementary school
whose years of experience range from one to thirty-nine.
Problem Identification
Many of the teachers in my target audience do not know how to use the district’s web based card
catalog system. Three years ago, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System
(SCCPSS) purchased Destiny, a web based card catalog system, for every media center in the
district. Previously, each school purchased its own network based electronic card catalog system
from a list of approved vendors. When Destiny was implemented, media specialists were
responsible for training at their site, but they were not supplied with training materials. Because
of this, professional development for staff members was inconsistent. This caused frustration
among many employees that moved from one school to another. Teachers stopped looking up
materials, and a climate of dependence on the media specialist developed at many schools. My
work in the media center of my target school has allowed me to observe this climate develop
between the staff members and the media specialist. Only a handful of teachers currently use
Destiny, but the entire staff would benefit from this resource.
Instructional Goal
My goal is to develop self-sufficient learners that will use the electronic card catalog as their
primary source to determine what materials are available in the media center.
Part II: Learner Analysis
Introduction
The all female staff consists of 53% Black/non-Hispanic teachers and 43% White/non-Hispanic
teachers that have been teaching between one and thirty-nine years. Day-to-day interactions with
the staff members and interviews with administrators, have given me a better understanding of
the technological proficiency of the school. These findings were backed up by the data gathered
from a technology confidence survey. I learned that many of the staff members use computers to
fulfill the basic requirements of their position while others integrate technology throughout the
day. Those that do not use technology regularly rely heavily on outside assistance when learning
new programs. Some teachers help others on grade level but rarely venture outside of these
groups.
Entry Skills
Basic computer skills (login, mouse/pad, keyboard)
Basic computer navigation
Prior Knowledge
Destiny is the district’s web based card catalog
Media center materials are tracked using Destiny
Destiny is available from any computer with Internet access
The technology confidence survey administered using Select Survey showed that 100% of the
teachers know that Destiny is an electronic card catalog and that it is available from their
classrooms. However, only 15% of them use Destiny on a daily or weekly basis.
Attitudes and Motivation
Many of the teachers like the idea of learning about the electronic card catalog system through an
online course. They feel that working at their own pace and on their own time allows them to
better utilize planning periods. Several of the teachers that are not as comfortable with
technology expressed a concern about taking an online course. They felt like they would be on
their own and wanted to make sure that there would have access to the instructor when questions
arose. They also expressed a desire to have face-to-face follow-up.
Educational Ability Levels
The educational background of the staff is as follows: 32% have earned a bachelor’s degree, 66%
have earned a master’s degree, and 2% have earned an education specialist’s degree. The
minimum degree requirement for most of the teaching positions is a bachelor’s degree, but all of
the teachers are required to have basic computing skills for accessing web-based programs such
as email and grade books. The survey showed that eight teaches felt they were novice computer
users, twenty-eight felt they were intermediate users, and five felt like they were proficient
computer users.
General Learning Preferences
The responses form the survey show that the main portion of my audience prefers hands-on, one-
on-one, or small group instruction. The online format of my course will appeal to each of these
learners. Each section requires hands on activities with instructor feedback and the opportunity
to work with other teachers taking the course.
Attitude Toward Teachers and School
The survey data indicates that due to previous professional development, the staff is reluctant to
attend any type of training if it means that they will lose their planning time. Therefore, PD must
be meaningful, conducted in small chunks, and immediately applicable.
Group Characteristics
My target audience consists of twenty-eight classroom teachers, nine special education teachers,
and four resource teachers with an ethnic background comprised of 43% White/non-Hispanic
and 53% Black/non-Hispanic. The years of experience for the forty-one staff members is listed
in the table below.
Years of Teaching Experience 0-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-25 26-30 30+

Part III: Task Analysis
The task analysis portion of my KA was conducted using a procedural analysis. This step-by-
step approach to learning a task marries well with my objectives for learning how to utilize the
district’s web based card catalog system, Destiny. The analysis was approached as if I were
logged in to a district owned computer within the SCCPSS network. I accessed our district’s
electronic card catalog, Destiny, and listed the steps for a basic search, identifying Lexiled
books, conducting a visual search, and building a resource list. My subject matter expert is the
Library Media and Technology program manager for the Savannah-Chatham County School
System. Her role is to oversee and coordinate the workings of media centers, media specialists,
and clerks at over fifty campuses. She has been a media specialist in the K-12 environment for
over 20 years and is well versed with Destiny, the district’s online card catalog.

Part VI: Content Sequencing and Instructional Activities
Instructional Sequence
Sequence Description Objective1 Access the district’s online card catalogue - Destiny 12 Navigate the Destiny home screen 23 Perform a Visual (icon/graphic based) search of the Destiny catalog 54 Conduct a Basic Destiny Search (Keyword = default) 35 Build a Resource List for future reference 66 Identify books based on a given Lexile range 4
This instructional sequence is based on the learning-related sequencing approach. The learner
must acquire basic skills before moving on to more difficult skills. The content is delivered
beginning with familiar ideas before moving on to unfamiliar ideas. This sequencing also takes
the developmental level of the learner into account. It scaffolds the learner while providing
opportunities for success.
Lesson 1: Destiny…Just a Click Away
Objective 1: Teachers will access the district’s online card catalogue - Destiny
Objective 1A. Identify the desktop shortcut icon for Destiny

Objective 2C. Teachers will explore the Narrow your search to… section
Motivational Strategy: Teachers will discuss the merits of an electronic card catalog with other
teachers in their Edmodo group, which can be found at www.sccpss.edmodo.com. The
following questions will be posted to help spark discussion. How can a Web-based card catalog
be used to benefit your students? How does it make locating resources easier? How would
storing resource lists online be helpful in developing instruction? (Kennedy and Clinton, 2009)
Initial Strategy: Teachers will access the Destiny site for their school using a desktop short cut or
Web browser (checkitout.savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us). (Morrison, G., Ross, S., Kalman, H., &
Kemp, J., 2013)
Instructional Strategy: Teachers will upload a screen shot of their school’s Destiny homepage,
with the term dogs typed in the find box to the lesson 1 folder on Edmodo. (I. Alvarez*, T.
Guasch and A. Espasa, 2009)
Lesson 2: Searching Destiny Using Pictures
Objective 5: Teachers will perform a Visual (icon/graphic based) search of the Destiny catalog
Objective 5A. Teachers will select the icon for your topic of interest
Objective 5B. Teachers will narrow results by selecting a subtopic
Objective 5C. Teachers will select an appropriate book
Objective 5D. Teachers will use the Explore icons to locate materials about similar books
Initial Strategy: Brainstorm a list of ways that you can help your struggling readers locate
appropriate books in the media center. Share you list in your Edmodo discussion group.
(Kennedy and Clinton, 2009)
Instructional Strategy: Teachers will locate a book about inventors that is in the media center
collection for their school. Teachers will create a Glogster presentation that lists the book’s title,
author, reading level, interest level, and call number. Please note any other facts that you find
interesting. Submit a link to your presentation in the lesson 2 folder on Edmodo. (Alvarez et al.,
2009)
Differentiation: Teachers may use any Web 2.0 tool to complete this objective.
Lesson 3: In the Beginning: Basic Searching
Objective 3: Teachers will conduct a Basic Search on Destiny (Keyword = default)
Objective 3A. The teacher will search for a given term, title, author, or subject
Objective 3B. The teacher will refine your search by reading level
Objective 3C. The teacher will sort results based on selected criteria (Call Number, Title,
Author, Date)
Initial Strategy: Encourage teachers to discuss difficulties they have had with locating what
materials are available in their schools media center with their Edmodo discussion group.
(Kennedy and Clinton, 2009)
Instructional Strategy: Teachers will view the Basic Search video for Destiny. They will then
search Destiny for books using the keyword dogs, the title Clifford, and the author Norman
Bridwell. Make note of the number of titles for each search type. Sort the results by date to find
the newest copy. Were there any authors of Clifford books other than Norman Bridwell? How
many books are there in the media center on your student’s reading level? Design a Glogster to
illustrate what you learned about Clifford books during basic searching. Submit a link to your
presentation in the lesson 3 folder on Edmodo. (Alvarez et al., 2009)
Differentiation: Teachers may use any Web 2.0 tool to complete this objective.
Lesson 4: Saving Your Search Results
Objective 6: Teachers will build a Resource List for future reference
Objective 6A. Teachers will search for a given subject
Objective 6B. Teachers will add desired titles to Resource List
Motivational Strategy: Post the following question in Edmodo for teachers to discuss. Are you
tired of searching for the same books year after year for your students? How could you or your
students benefit from saving your searches for future use? How would this make gathering
resources easier for you? (Kennedy and Clinton, 2009)
Instructional Strategy: Teachers will perform a keyword search for frogs. They will refine their
search to include the reading level for there students. Select five grade appropriate books and
add them to your list. Your list is available in the Resource Lists section of Destiny. Create a
Glogster that lists your five books and post a link to the lesson 4 folder on Edmodo. You may use
another Web 2.0 to complete this activity. (Alvarez et al., 2009)
Differentiation: Teachers may use any Web 2.0 tool to complete this objective.
Lesson 5: Finding Lexiled Books for your Students
Objective 4: Teachers will identify books based on a given Lexile range
Objective 4A. Teachers will search the Lexile reading program
Objective 4B. Teachers will adjust the Lexile level for a student or group of students
Objective 4C. Teachers will sort results based on Lexile level (results will be least to
greatest)
Initial Strategy: View the Searching by Lexile video posted on Edmodo. Read the white paper
“Lexile Measures in the Classroom” and discuss the advantage of using Lexiled books with your
students with your Edmodo group. (Morrison et al., 2013)
Instructional Strategy: Teachers will search for books using the Lexile range of a particular
students or group of students. Refine your search to include reading level if you have an excess
number of titles. The teacher will sort the results based on Lexile range to put them in numerical
order (least to greatest). Create a Glogster that lists five of the books from the search. Submit a
link to your presentation in the lesson 5 folder in Edmodo. (Alvarez et al., 2009)
Differentiation: Teachers may use any Web 2.0 tool to complete this objective.
