MERLOT is a free and open peer reviewed collection of online teaching and learning materials and faculty-developed services contributed and used by an international education community. Our middle school is going 1:1 this year and the teachers are encouraged to try blended learning. This site would be helpful for them to help set up their courses.

We are in this battle right now where the person at the secondary wants to switch to Alexandria. She doesn't do anything with our circulation and doesn't know how to check out a book, but she is stopping me from updating our Destiny system. Right now we are server hosted and are about 3 updates behind.

One area for which I'm always searching for more resources and information is resources that can be shared with parents and families to support the digital citizenship learning students are doing in the library. Just because most parents many parents are comfortable with technology, that doesn't 'mean they know how to talk to their children about internet safety and ethics. This includes a good list of resources that are available.

This provides a fantastic list of resources for parents (or teachers) to utilize to support the teaching of digital citizenship skills! I'm always looking for tools to share with our families to help them better understand their role in creating good digital citizens at home.

I'm not a fan of giant lists, to 6 is a good number to share. Some of these we've learned in class, some are not as obvious. #4 is a good new strategy to use, that I've never seen before.

What are OER? Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse at no cost. Unlike fixed, copyrighted resources, OER have been authored or created by an individual or organization that chooses to retain few, if any, ownership rights.

Yesterday, the ever-churning machine that is the Internet pumped out more unfiltered digital data. Yesterday, 250 million photos were uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube, and 294 BILLION emails were sent. And that's not counting all the check-ins, friend requests, Yelp reviews and Amazon posts, and pins on Pintrest.

People are broken up into groups and their task is to solve puzzles with an end goal to open up a box.

This source provides information on avoiding plagiarism. Provides definition of plagiarism, example, interactive of basic tips and a quiz. There is also information on creative commons and public domain. I could see using the examples provided for small group discussions. I see myself using a lot of the information on copyright as it is easy to read and lays out the format that will be easy for the students to understand. These examples are under a big umbrella of information called "Using Information Correctly." There are 3 big ideas under this which include Avoiding Plagiarism, Putting Info Together and Copyright and Fair Use.

This is an application to use with students to document their real world explorations.  Go to the "Discover" tab to view recent Siftrs!  The group Field Day is also into AR :)

I loved exploring HippoCampus. The educational video, test prep, and simulations were amazing. I am exploring the topic English, specifically "Crafting an Effective Writer" and have found this video on being a successful online learner. The videos are informative and I could see my English teacher using them and it even applies to this course right now.

Ck-12 offers "FlexBook" textbooks and other OER for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). I will use this resource for teaching in our STEM lab at the Intermediate School, and as an excellent source for PD when teachers are learning about new technology tools at their fingertips.

CrashCourse videos are openly available on YouTube. This links to the Intellectual Property playlist with 7 videos. I plan to use these with the High School English Department and also in sections with professional development to set the stage with appropriate copyright usage for the upcoming school year.

Many already working in the library world are familiar with Common Sense Education, but if you are like me and only work at the high school level, you may not have had a chance to fully use this website's valuable resources. Starting this fall, the English 9 teacher and I will be teaming up and using portions of the 9-12 digital citizenship lessons offered in the Scope & Sequence section. Besides what we will be using, Common Sense Education also offers free professional development resources, advice on 1-to-1 programs, teacher reviews of instructional technology, and more. This resource is a must for any educator.

Great resource to share with teachers before summer starts. There are many free courses to take on a variety of subjects. It seems like all teachers at our school could benefit from something on here.
