How are we doing on 'Getting Labs in their hands'?
We have so far been able to 1. Afford to purchase all requested Labs and 2. Deliver all requested Labs.
However we have not been able to generate an adequate amount of requests for the resources we put into the operation. Even though we have SarasotaScience.org from which requests can easily be made, and we have done extensive 'marketing' mainly through emails, we have not had a good response.
I feel we are at a crossroads on the lending library concept and it's effectiveness given the climate that Science Teachers are working with today in the schools.
What we have put together so far would work if we simply had more adequate response from the teachers requesting labs. Everybody I speak to indicates they are bewildered that we are not inundated with requests and overrun with delivering labs.
I will be directing people to this blog, and ask that they please provide us with some suggestions as to how we can make this work, keeping in mind our goal of getting labs in the hands of students.
