    Lerner is a major publisher in the school library market; I read their blog to keep up on current trends. Especially interesting are their posts from trade shows, including the recent School Technology Expo: http://lernerbooks.blogspot.com/2014/07/international-school-technology-expo.html

Class Notes | The big ideas and small moments of a school. - 0 views

  • As an educator, I’m disappointed that the writers for the Commonwealth Foundation, who presumably graduated high school, could forget the writing lessons they learned from their teachers. Present the facts honestly. Don’t manipulate the truth. As a union member, I am once again reminded that these forces are out there, and it’s not some secret conspiracy we don’t have access to. It’s right in front of our faces. Tell everyone you know: the Commonwealth Foundation wants to destroy Pennsylvania unions.

The Next Big Thing Archives - The Digital Shift - 0 views

  •  
    This column from school library coordinator Christopher Harris is great for getting an "on the ground", "in the field" view of how technology is being deployed to libraries. Harris has thoughtful insights on the transition from paper books to digital resources in libraries.

Getting Started with Firefox extension - Diigo help - 0 views

  •  Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy?   Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!

    An amazing resource to help guide technology and computer education classes. This site offers an outline for basic areas of learning that students should know. This site suggests "21 things" that students need to know about digital literacy. This would be a great starting point for curriculum along with the ISTE standards. :)
