Springfield library 4/15


 * librarian hunts teachers down and shares information Bookmark sharing (diigo) Information HUB: pushes out information.

Empower/identify/ highlight peer support with admin backing/support

Create a climate of collaboration

Pull "stuff" together from teachers and locate it.

Basically: she's doing what college librarians do. Use kids to generate videos etc to help.

Links units to curriculum with teachers.

She doesn't need to collaborate per se, she generates a virtual support for the curriculum and shares with teachers students via the web.
 * thought/challenge: library @ GA is on board with what she is doing, however, the source of the problem is blamed on teacher's who don't collaborate. or access to generate own website? Couldn't they have been using blackboard?

Heavy on Creation: similar to SLA.

Up to teacher for protected vs not protected. Interesting.

Loan kindles: borrow and load onto kindles. Writes grants, Fundraisers. Kids borrow and send home: kids pitch to parents about getting them.

Interesting: they seem to have LESS computers? I wonder what their ratio is????

Digital citizenship. Example: tweet artist to gain permission for project.

Interesting: labs are electives under language art.

Allow personal devices

Catalog student work under pages courses assignments: suggestion of using a tagging system.

Teacher has final say regarding devices.

Block Facebook But revisiting for reason of modeling for kids.

Expectation vs exploration to their teacher summer a academy?

New hires: 12 hours curriculum tech instructional.

We have a lot of teachers who are pretty powerful with this stuff, so they can count as offering development hours to new hires.
