After completing my practicum in a Syracuse City School District library this spring, I've realized just how much professional collaboration can do in terms of disseminating both ideas and learning objects. Syracuse City is a VERY large district, which means that there are many talented librarians sharing their knowledge, experiences, and resources. These librarians meet for professional development for a full day each month, at which point various librarians and the library media director share best practices and their experiences with new books, clubs, and technologies. The library media director also maintains pages of the district website and uses these pages to make library resources, including some learning objects created by district librarians, available to everyone in the district.
A few learning objects in the form of PowerPoints have been shared on the "LMS Tools" page under the category of "SCSD Power Point Presentations" (some presentations directed towards library media specialists instead of students are also linked within this category). I hope that the number of learning objects posted to this site continues to increase, as there are so many talented librarians who have created learning objects that will benefit everyone.
Have you visited any school library media center websites with posted learning objects? If so, please share! :)

I think that learning objects are a great idea, why re-invent the wheel if someone has already done it and done it well.
I am sad to see that not many library websites that I have looked at have a learning objects section. It is great to hear that SCSD has taken advantage of the talent that they have in their district and started sharing it with the all of the schools. :-)
This is a great page to keep handy for future reference. I have to say that I haven't noticed any learning objects on the library websites I have visited. I will definitely look for them in the future though.
