"Our job as teachers is to draw our students attention to the fact that copy-paste culture is destructive and that appropriate citations and crediting back the sources, if ever we are allowed to, are two important things we always need to invoke as we are dealing with both digital and non digital content. I have an entire section in this blog packed full of resources, tools and tips on how to teach your students about copyright, check it out here to learn more. Today, I am sharing with you this wonderful flowchart I come across in digital inspiration. You can use it with you students to teach them about the kinds of images to cite and how to do so."

The senior school library continues the journey. Here we aim to combine the power of the story with a concept premised on the Cabinet of Curiosities. Curiosity in its purest sense where a student's learning is entirely unrelated to examination specifications and is encouraging learning for its own sake. The first cabinet being mooted relates to an evening next term where the films of Charlie Chaplin will provide both entertainment and a cultural reference point. Our Curator of the Cabinet of Curiosities is tasked with supporting this with the curation of a range of objects which will stimulate interest and encourage inquiry. Our approach is unashamedly about inspiring a love of learning.

Librarydoor: 6 Reading Rules for the Common Core - 17 views
-
The more students read, the better they'll read So, why limit their reading to a pre-set reading level with limited titles available? Students need opportunities to read easy books to build fluency - This is ratified in Appendix A, Page 9, of the CCSS standards. We shouldn't have to define what level they should read at -- whether easy or hard -- for independent reading. Students need experience reading complex text to improve their ability to decode meaning when they encounter difficult material - This is based on the research of Marilyn Jager Rand, PhD. Brown University Students will shift from easy --> hard material if it's on a subject of their interest. - So let them choose what they want and their innate curiosity will compel them to read and achieve understanding, thus raising their reading ability. Students need curiosity to inspire reading. They will either have natural curiosity or stirred up curiosity (stirred up by the educator) Students need a reason to read that is not about 'assignment' - a quest for knowledge or an answer to find.
