  • Polls: Look at where people are from and what levels they work with. Thanks for attending. Highlight the article in KQ and build upon.
  • Discuss the apprehension by some to allow younger students to be creative through technology. The most common compliment I get is I had no idea you could do that with younger students.
  • My main point in orientation this year was that the library is a place to get books but it is also a place to create. I make a point to tell students that they have an audience before we begin a project.
  • Possibly mentoring, but this can also be a collaborative of expertise.
  • Multiple opportunities
  • First section: showcasing a variety of snapshots of projects across grade levels.
  • Mention permission to play, opportunities for all, low barriers so that anyone can do it. It’s not just for high school students.
  • Mention the adult support that this kind of project takes…..think of barriers and how to get around them. Lower the barriers.
  • Storybird and ABC books…again highlight the structure needed for younger learners
  • Mention the stages of this project and how it was modified for Navigating the Information Tsunami published by Cherry Lake Publishing.
  • Mention my new approach to exploratory research and how it invites students to make choices while still being accountable for information
  • Mention the choices in this project: Animoto, Glogster, Zazzle, Skype, white board,
  • Section 2: Discussing ways that our library gets student work out to an audience. How are we connecting students to a global community?
  • Mention the district’s open access by students &amp; teachers and how this has changed over the past few years.
  • Showcasing work does not have to be elaborate displays. It can be found opportunities.
  • Connecting students with mentors. This takes listening and harnessing opportunities.
  • Discuss the barriers to sharing student work and overcoming those barriers through their very documentation.
  • Section 3: Discuss how knowledge is passed on in multiple ways. It isn’t about connecting students with expert mentors only.
  • Math buddies.
  • Glogster epiphany.
  • Fishing for the constitution designed in class and implemented as part of a center rotation
  • Mention exemplary open house and bus tour student presentations.
  • Section 4: Begin talking about student book budget and connect to how student input and decision making is a big part of our library.
  • Got an overview of what I do to select books before diving in.
  • Looked at catalog selections. Thought about school population. Thought about who was in the selection group and how to overcome gender barrier.
  • Developed a survey with what they considered to be the most popular topics.
  • Used iPad to survey as many people as possible.
  • Mention that these books are among the most popular and this project has been one of such importance that it is now a part of our budget every year. It’s hard to argue with data that comes from students.
  • Section 5: Offering multiple ways for kids to participate….connect back to element of participatory culture….not ever member must contribute. Mention bookmarks here.
  • Mention looking and listening closely for opportunity. When students mention a book they loved, I mention ways they might share that book with others: written review, video review, BTV review, book mark, poster, etc.
  • Poetry, persuasive writing, reading incentives, design contests,
  • Last section: Mention the design of the new library currently being built and what I hope to do in the coming months/years.
  • Playing games, learning from games, designing games: motivation, innovation,
  • Most everything I do is planned and intentional or at least initiated by me. This will always be a primary way we participate because it’s school, but when does participation become spontaneous and what is ok and not ok…….i.e. story of girls coming to the library to plan a babysitting service. Or….guys starting a card game group during morning wait time.
