Daily Lit - www.dailylit.com

Would you read a book from your email or an rss feed? I am going to try it out. My initial thought is yes of course I would, but time will tell. I am a little skeptical of myself.

Dailylit began in May of 2007 from an idea generated from the NY Times special supplements of serialized classics. Dailylit takes the same approach only through email or rss.

I've been reading "The Message" online this way for the past two years. Yes, many days I do not read it as the amount of… Continue

Slam Poetry

This is a promotion of a sort. And in the spirit of the students who invited me to listen, and record, I am going to lay myself a little bare in explaining why all of this mattered.

I am burned out. I spend my days not sure whether to cry or rage. I am frustrated with entitled students who either a) don't want to learn or b) don't want to think. I know it seems like the same thing but in this era of testing they can consume information without thinking, and feel as if they are learning. I… Continue

Answer Board Librarians, Ask Colorado, etc. - What about school librarians?

I don't remember how I came upon this site: Answer Board Librarians at WetPaint.com, but I signed up much like I do for others sites like this and then "sat on it" for a while. Takes me some time to get the feel for a site and decide to participate even if I am a member.

This site seems to be mostly participated in by public library staff, but why not have a school library contingent? Check it out and let me know what you…

Musings on the new AASL learning standards

In October AASL published the updated information literacy standards “Standards for the 21^st –Century Learner”. Now the parsing begins… what is right about the

standards? What is wrong? What do they mean? How can I use the standards to improve my instruction, and

student’s learning? There is more to

come, more work being done by AASL but in the meantime what is that we,

teacher- librarians, notice about the new learning standards.…

Supplementing the new AASL Standards

The April 2008 issue of Teacher Librarian will focus on the new AASL Learning Standards with the deadline being Jan 5 for any of you that would like to write a piece. However, I am thinking of writing a collaborative book with any who would like to participate. It would be something like a graphic organizer. Each page would take a central concept from the standards such as: Inquiry. This would be centered in the middle of the page. Then around that central idea would be border sections dealing… Continue

Thanksgiving break.

I'm so pleased to have a week off from a 42-mile 1-way commute and am particularly thankful for the opportunity to rehearse as a pit-orchestra member--trombone--for a production of Dickens' celebrated Christmas Carol at the Temecula Old Town Community Theater coming up early next month.

"My" teachers have been complaining about not having access to high-quality images without scrounging around for hours on the web. So I put together this wiki of copyright-friendly image sources.

HELP A TEACHER GET SOME TECHNOLOGY

My wife and I produced a video for the Interwrite Learning contest and lo and behold we are in the finals! This is a $15,000 contest to get her some badly needed technology for her classroom. Problem is we are in the public voting stage of the competition and up against much larger districts with a lot of voting power. If you have liked my videos I ask that you go register and vote for her video. I admit that I am biased in this case, but I know how much she needs this equipment and her…
