Description of My Classroom Library
My Classroom Library is easy to use software designed for the classroom teacher to keep record of the class library books.
The program has a teacher and student mode accessible via passwords. The teacher mode allows access to all of the functions while the student mode only allows student access to signing the books in and out of the classroom library and for searching privileges.
The best part of the teacher mode is it displays the students reading history. Teachers can create reading groups based on the students likes and the information is quickly accessible. As well, the teacher is able to see the students who are reading and who are not. The program designer created a Top Worm category to record how many books a student has read in a specific time period. However, do not forget its prime focus is to keep accurate records of the classroom library which saves time and money, as many classroom books going missing each year.
Why Purchase the Product
My Classroom Library Software is a great purchase for the novice or beginning teacher. The initial energy to input the books into the system is time consuming, however in the long run the teacher will be saving time. The teacher saves time because he can look at the library records to learn a multitude of things about his students. The teacher can learn if a student enjoys reading, what is their favourite genre, how often they read in a month, which students are reading the same books and much more.
As well, it is an inexpensive program that the teacher will use year after year. Often the number one complaint of teachers is they do not have enough time in a day. My Classroom Library software will take a couple days to input the data but after the initial time, it will give the teacher extra time to prepare for lessons and correct assignments instead of locating items for their library.
