Media specialist receives award

Angie Jameson, library media specialist for Chagrin Falls Schools, received the Ohio Educational Library Media Association’s (OELMA) 2023 Tech Innovation Award. the integration of technology throughout the curriculum.

In his appointment letter, Mike Daugherty, director of technology and innovation for Chagrin Falls Schools, said:

Angie Jameson, our District Librarian, is an outstanding media specialist who inspires a love of reading in everyone she meets. Her dedication to promoting literacy is unparalleled. Angie Jameson has been instrumental in promoting reading engagement throughout our district, as evidenced by several notable technology initiatives. She led the deployment and training of Sora, a platform that provides students with access to a vast library of e-books and audiobooks on all Chromebooks in the district. Additionally, she partnered with a high school English language teacher to record readings aloud and share them with elementary school students.

One of its biggest innovations are library travel bags. Each month, Angie designs a series of activities for students and staff to do on their own, outside of school. The web-based signup form collects specific information for each person. The result is a bag containing craft material for a book-related trade, personalized book recommendations, a personalized book selection, and a feel-good message. These library bags greatly encourage students and staff to read independently. Countless people have attested to her invaluable contributions to our day-to-day operations, as well as her unwavering support for teachers and students.

Jameson will be recognized at the 2023 OELMA conference and awards ceremony on October 6 in Dublin, Ohio.
