    "This is the best time in history to be a teacher-librarian. Major shifts in our information and communication landscapes present new opportunities for librarians to teach and lead in areas that were always considered part of their role, helping learners of all ages effectively use, manage, evaluate, organize and communicate information, and to love reading in its glorious new variety."

  • There’s a good video on YouTube on How To Use A Flip Video Camera. How To Us A Flip Camera is a simple guide with screenshots. David Pogue of the New York Times has a good review/description on using a Flip, and also has a video. Here are some tips on how to edit your videos after you’ve shot them. Here are some places to get ideas and tips on using them with students: Thirty-Nine Interesting Ways* to use your Pocket Video Camera in the Classroom is a great online presentation from Tom Barrett. 7 Things You Should Know About Flip Camcorders is a good overview on using them in education. Classroom 2.0 has a good discussion on its Forum about using Flips. I believe you can access it without being a member but, if not, it’s free and easy to join. Richard Byrne has started a collaborative project with teachers sharing Many Ways to Use Flip Video Cameras in the Classroom.

    I've used this site to evaluate books, and movies that I consider sharing with my own children. A national organization led by concerned parents sharing common interests in the quality of media families choose to consume. Common Sense Media's mission is built upon the foundation of ten beliefs, two of which I think will appeal to most educational technology and library media specialists: * We believe in media sanity, not censorship. * We believe in teaching our kids to be savvy media interpreters -- we can't cover their eyes but we can teach them to see.

23 Things about Classroom Laptops « - 2 views

  • Work avoidance just went digital
  • ou need to find ways to bring that into class, not try and ban it.
  • Find ways in which one or two students can ‘share’ work with many. Create online spaces where students can use ‘friend-networks’.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 11. Don’t be boring! Using a laptop to type in answers to textbook questions, print them out and hand it is absolutely facile. Your textbook is NOT compatible with student motivation towards technology. Boring computer activities lead to work avoidance strategies and self-interest use of the internet.
  • 12. Don’t try to win the proxy war Filters can be got around, they will always find a way. Entering a proxy war means more wasted time trying to work out what sites will work – You have to test your lessons using THEIR proxy (web access) – as you’ll find that things you want to use are blocked. Overtly policed and blocked networks are counter-productive.
  • 15. The wipe-board is no longer the hub of activity – unless you put it online. The board is not the place to ‘look’. Consider how it can be used to work with ‘small groups’ to workshop ideas – and use the laptops as a student management tool to keep them busy and focused on work – not you or the board.
  • 18. Empower and enlist your Library Librarians are teachers with an additional skill – enlist them in your classroom as a team-teacher. Don’t ask them to find online resources for you – that’s lazy, as them to teach you how to do it, or teach your students.
  • Powerful learning, comes from passionate, motivated teachers who never stop learning. Don’t lock-step these people by industrialist notions of hierarchical power play – or resort to moral or ideological pressure to teachers to do more. It is a long slow process to renew learning, not overnight change. Recognise how important the goodwill of staff is – given the absolute lack of central government funding to invest in teachers – the way it is investing in infrastructure. The criteria used to target ‘future leaders’ is not going to be as effective as it once was, so be prepared for innovation to come from the grassroots.

  • Diigo’s community, in using all the function of Diigo’s innovation and refinements, has the ability to help build relationships based around perhaps our greatest asset – knowledge.
  • Diigo allows users to add, gather or extract from pages of information and then share or work with others to further refine knowledge. Users can define their content on a group, community and ultimatly on a personal level via this even more enhanced UI.
  • The purpose was and is to help people grab relevant content and effectively aggregate, save and/or store this data. Diigo essentially transformed the bookmark into a more usable and effective data collection tool and has also enabled a very unique and positive community aspect with V3. Diigo basically enables people to study and research as one would in a library – by taking pertinent pieces of the knowledge puzzle and putting them where they are accessible, functional and more easily utilized.

  • Users now have the ability to search and select suggested data from other users as well as suggesting relevant knowledge to their friends. Suggestion, when presented by like minded users, can effectively act as a knowledge filter which narrows search to a fine point.

    An article worth reading. It describes the impact diigo can have in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.

    A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.

    I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!
