Web 2.0 Playground
Yesterday I spent a most enjoyable three hours with nine other people at a Leapday Playday to explore the concepts and tools of Web 2.0. We called our computer lab a “playground,” and we were there to “play.”
Why “play?” Because every time I mention Web 2.0 to other… Continue

Mansfield University Scholarship Program – Begin in January 2012
In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification. For detailed information and contacts please refer to the Fulfilling the Promise homepage, at http://libweb.mansfield.edu/promise/, or contact Cynthia Keller, Department Chair ckeller@mansfield.edu

Hope you enjoy my blog. I sure enjoy writing it. -Mary
I checked out the Teaching with Primary Sources program you mentioned below. What a wonderful resource. It looks like a natural for online presentation.
Your interest area of online primary resources is a rich one. I also teach online for the University of Wisconsin Stout. We launched a course on primary resources earlier this year that has really taken off: Teaching Information Literacy with Primary Sources, is taught by Mary Alice Anderson: http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/primarysources.shtml
This seems like a great way to teach information fluency. With the right nuances, I can see this as a way to deeply engage high school and college students.
I'm looking forward to an interesting exchange of ideas!

I have read Mary Alice Anderson's writing for years, and I must say you are truly fortunate to have her as a colleague. I was extremely pleased to see that the Library of Congress outreach programs that began with the American Memory fellowships have now reached the university level. Good for UW Stout!

I am doing a project for my master's degree. I was just wondering if you would mind answering a quick question for me?
How do you manage technology as a part of your daily job?
Sorry to disappoint you, Susan, but I don't get many questions! I have actually learned several things from the TeacherLibrarianNing. It was here that I learned of the K12 Online Conference, and I have learned a ton about Web 2.0 from the sessions there. I've discovered that retired school librarians remain active thinkers, although I haven't yet joined that group. I've picked up some good pointers from videos that have been posted here. This ning is just one of my sources for keeping up with the profession, or at least faking it pretty well. I do still get a little mixed up about just where to leave comments (and where to find them).
What fun new things are you doing with your high schoolers between Thanksgiving and winter break? I'm off to Germany for about ten days...getting together with the increasingly far-away "nuclear family."
-Mary
The feeling I get from the Nebraska folks is that they will follow AASL's lead. I didn't get any other sense from them, but that could be because I don't know them well enough yet. Time will tell how well these new standards will be accepted. I would sure like to know if you get any other "vibes" out there.
Good to hear from you!
