A website with links for information literacy, reading & literacy, learning technologies, PD materials, school library management and teacher librarianship.

Here is my very modest proposal: we pick the top "ICT skills" that classroom teachers should be able to expect of all students and design short, authentic tasks that can be easily assessed. If each core classroom teacher gives and evaluates one skill at the beginning of the freshman year, a profile of every student can be compiled and remediation can be provided through classes taught by the librarian.

Didn't find your proposal? Went to PBS website.

"Anita Brooks Kirkland explores an important aspect of the changing nature of teaching and learning in school libraries and the learning commons. As always, her theoretical considerations are attached to very practical applications that may be useful today!"

Teacher librarians may find tips to help with design of library web pages as well as guidelines to help with the selection of web resources to offer students.

Throughout the year, the website will be available to everyone, with open access to lists of titles, short previews, and reviews, all of which will help librarians and teachers find and select new content. Here Be Fiction will also feature author biographies, publisher overviews, and editorial content focusing on ways to use ebooks in classrooms and school libraries.
