"Googleable. Definition:   being able to find information about something by using the search engine Google. For example, and from the video:  When was Custer's last stand? That's a Googleable question.  Questions that are "googleable" can be answered by simply doing a Google search.   Ask a question, the student types it into Google and bingo - the answer. Where do you stand with "googleable questions?"  Googleable assignments?  Appropriate, inappropriate, or it depends?"

This is just awesome!  "An Invention Kit for Everyone"

Art blog- great resource for using the ipad

"Miami Ad School Student Project: A Simple Solution to help New York's Empty Libraries Now that the internet is available almost anywhere, people are able to do "instant research" to learn about anything on their smartphones. The New York Public Library wants to remind New Yorkers that they are still a valuable resource, and a free service. NYPL wants to take your usual subway ads and make them into something fun and entertaining. They want to give New Yorkers something productive to do on the subway instead of their everyday people watching."

So, be it Zotero or photo editing or movie making, I am here to help the students. Could it be done by a kid from IT, probably. But could it be done as well and leave students feeling like they can do anything? Depends on the kid. However, coming from Libraryland and seeing the technology as another tool to bring students success makes me a stronger option.

Mind Maps- many resources that you may want to look into

Number 5 really is interesting here.  "Seven Principles That Guide Teaching and Student Learning in the Atwell Curriculum"   5. Children need to know adults who write -- We need to write, share our writing with our students, and demonstrate what experienced writers do in the process of composing, letting our students see our own drafts in all their messiness and tentativeness.
