Over the years we have seen little time or funding devoted to professional development (PD) that might equip teachers with the skills required to make smart and productive use of new technologies. What little PD we have seen was devoted mainly to the learning of software and how to operate the latest toys. We have too often placed carts before horses.

The online resource for PBL from the Buck Institute

Intel resources and a webinar on PBL

Laura Cipriano, sent this to the CFF Coach listserv: Here's an opportunity for coaches and librarians to work together and create a powerful partnership for supporting and enriching the curriculum: check out http://ow.ly/5HkvW - School Librarians and the Common Core Standards (PA has adopted them!). Though it is a reference designed to show the relevance of CCS to a school library program, this online collection of VALUABLE resources in a LiveBinder by Carolyn Jo Starkey, a librarian from Alabama, may prove to be a helpful tool for all teachers in understanding and unpacking the standards in any of their respective areas. Enjoy! Laura Cipriano
