Welcome to the Ocee Learning Commons.  We strive to serve students, teachers and parents in many ways.  

I am Carolyn Hutcheson, the Media and Educational Technology Instructor here at Ocee Elementary School.  A few of the major initiatives that I lead are:
  • Hosting and growing programs in our Learning Commons
  • Coaching teachers, students, and parents on best practices regarding all types of technology
  • Leading Ocee into becoming a Common Sense Media certified school
  •  Book Fair
  •  Literature Night
  • Technology Fair
  • Morning News-Otter Talk 

Students:  We offer many learning initiatives for students.  Students have two Maker Spaces with one being 3-D.  We offer Standards-based stories for Kindergarten, where students are read a story that reinforces the literacy activity they are working on in classrooms.  First graders participate in Digital Doorways, a weekly class where they participate in a standards-based digital lesson combined with a story and book check-out.  Second graders participate in Tinker Tuesday, where they come to the Learning Commons in groups and tinker.  All grade levels may compete in our tic-tac-toe for literacy channenge where they complete a tic-tac-toe board by reading books.  Prizes are awarded.  We host an annual book fair and a Technology fair for students.   

Teachers:  Professional learning sessions are offered for teachers where they learn about a type of technology and how to effectively integrate it into the curriculum.  Teachers are also provided with literacy resources such as books and streaming videos.  

Parents:  Parents are offered many learning sessions in our Learning Commons.  Internet Safety has just happened and was a big success.  A seminar on math strategies was also well-attended.  Parents are able to check out five books in their names for take home use.  The check-out time is two weeks.
