In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us-from schoolchildren to college students to working adults-needs to know how to learn well. Yet the evidence suggests that most of us don't use the learning techniques that science has proven most effective. Worse, research finds that the learning strategies we do commonly employ-like re-reading and highlighting-are among the least effective.

Great infographic on best techniques to find what you want in Google.

Teaching technique One of the tips I picked up from attending the COFHE conference from attending Anthony Beal's session was the use of Post-it notes for a different way to evaluate student perceptions.

This presentation focuses on a diverse array of web 2.0 tools teachers and librarians can use to enhance classroom websites, collaborative projects, and multimedia reports created by students individually or in distributed teams.

This is a terrific mini lesson from Barry Lane. He shows (not tells) how to explode a moment into a full page of rich writing. The visuals in this video will catch any student's attention. I've called this technique the Magnified Moment. It's also tied to the idea of using imaginary binoculars to really see the details of an event. Fun to watch, this video is part of "Barry in a Box", a book and dvd Barry is selling on his website: www.discoverwriting.com

Free animated video creator. Includes the cool handwriting/whiteboard technique that's popular today (like the Sir Ken Robinson Educational Paradigm video). Can connect to the app via Google Docs, which means students don't have to create their own accounts.

This study sought to collect data from teens and librarians about their preferences and recommendations for the effective design of physical library spaces for teens. Librarians and teens at twenty-two U.S. public libraries filmed narrated video tours of their young adult (YA) public library spaces. The researchers used qualitative content analysis techniques to analyze the video data and to develop a framework for guiding the design of effective YA public library spaces. In addition to providing specific recommendations for user-centered YA library space design, this study highlights the need for continued user input into the design and maintenance of YA public library spaces as teens' needs evolve and vary across time and from community to community.

"Almost every adult who cares for young children knows that sharing books with them is an important way to promote their reading skills.
