School Library Monthly - ALA Presidential Task Force: Focus on School Libraries
"It was the best times, it was the worst of times…." This famous observation by Charles Dickens is certainly applicable to the current status of school library programs and school librarians. On the one hand, some programs are valued and receive ongoing support from their communities. Led by competent, effective school librarians, programs such as those recognized as meeting the criteria of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) National School Library Program of the Year Award, provide solid evidence of the positive impact of best practice on teaching and learning. On the other hand, the economic downturn, often combined with a lack of understanding or value for how school librarians and library programs contribute to student achievement, has led other communities to eliminate positions and to cut back, curtail, or get rid of once thriving programs.

Tendencias actuales y futuras en tecnologías de la información para unidades de información
Con la fuerte irrupción de las bibliotecas en el acceso a los recursos electrónicos y la gestión de colecciones digitales, la oferta habida hasta ahora de sistemas de automatización se ha ido convirtiendo en un obstáculo para el progreso. Está emergiendo una nueva generación de plataformas de servicios digitales para bibliotecas, diseñadas para proporcionar un apoyo integral a la gestión y al acceso de todo tipo de materiales de la biblioteca: impresos, electrónicos y digitales. Estos nuevos sistemas implican una modernización de las arquitecturas orientadas a servicios, con un mayor desarrollo del concepto de “software como servicio” y de otros modelos basados en la “nube”.Leer más en: http://adf.ly/5SApg

Our Space: Being a Responsible Citizen of the Digital World | The GoodWork Project
Our Space is a set of curricular materials designed to encourage high school students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their participation in new media environments. Through role-playing activities and reflective exercises, students are asked to consider the ethical responsibilities of other people, and whether and how they behave ethically themselves online. These issues are raised in relation to five core themes that are highly relevant online: identity, privacy, authorship and ownership, credibility, and participation

Guide to Best 100 SciFi and Fantasy Books - Flowchart with Amazon Links
Literacy Journal: Only 1 iPad in the Classroom?
The answer is easy: YES, especially if the teacher has access to a Mac desktop or (preferably) laptop and a wifi network in the classroom. It is an even larger YES if the Mac device has the most current operating system. Having a computer to which the iPad can sync is not absolutely necessary, but it is a Best Idea. If you are not feeling confident, get your IT person or another teacher to help you out with setup. I am focused here on apps to install for MS and HS - and then what to do with them.
