Might be helpful in designing lessons

Free (for the most part) webinars for using Canva

 tool that allows for quickly and easily designing posters, signs, fliers and more, allowing for a variety of customizations with backgrounds, clipart, and text, while also allowing users to upload and use their own pictures.  My own high school kids have used it to complete one page posters referred to as visual book reports.  Their end products were printed for display purposes in the library, and used for visuals for book-talks done by both the librarians and the students. We even use them in digital frames that loop through pictures at our circulation desk, and students have responded to the "book-reports" created in Poster My Wall by checking out those titles.   The site does not require an account though that is an option, and those opting to use the free version can create professional looking posters and download for printing in minutes.  My school secretary was so impressed with the site she has even used it to create fliers for events and activities at school.   The site is easy enough for even elementary school students.  Like Wordle, my collaborating teachers are finding some very interesting uses for Poster My Wall. Cons?  It is not a replacement to Glogster by any means, but a poster app none the less. (Rec by Cathy Jo Nelson)

Add your contributions to this google doc on 21st c. school libraries for kids.

Great post from summer 2014 (tweeted by Sherry Gick). Includes several sites useful for integrating tech and collaborating with teachers (and students) This could also be useful as we work on correlations between Indiana College and Career Ready Standards and our own standards.

Nice categorization

This has great ideas well beyond online teaching in the time of corona.

Pictures of this library were all over the net-- and then came word that the many of the books in the photos were fake.
