Welcome to Northwood Middle School!

 * Fort Wayne Community School Media Center Philosophy**

The Media Center is an essential component to building a learning community to meet the constantly changing informational needs required for the 21st century. The Media Center is a place to learn, to investigate, to study, to enjoy, and to provide necessary skills for students to become lifelong learners.

The Media Teacher will play an integral role in preparing staff and students to access and evaluate electronic resources, as well as traditional resources.

All members of the school population must cooperate in developing a Media Center program to ensure that all users acquire informational literacy skills.

In an effort to consolidate these resources, the Northwood Media Center has elected to create a forum where teachers can post projects and provide access to the tools needed by students for academic success. Thus, the Northwood Wiki was born. This Wiki is also an effort to help students and teachers communicate, using web 2.0 tools. We aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users, while preparing our students to become lifelong learners and users of information and technology.
