Going Up Anyone?

New students and new teachers have something in common; the extra challenges of learning new systems, meeting new people and figuring out how we will be learn in this new environment. I'm not sure if it's easier to be older and wiser, I'm all to aware of the size of shoes my predecessor left me to fill.

Surfing the net and other blogs led me to a fellow 'Back to School Survivor' who scooped an article from a very sensible woman Krissy Vensodale and she listed 10 reasons why as a teacher you want to be connected and therefore why your students need to be connected.

And let's not forget to be balanced and remember it's important to be unplugged. Gever Tulley's 5 Dangerous Things You Should Let You Could Do has the important theme of the importance of physical exploration in our world.

As my fingers start to cramp and eyes begin to cross as I explore the school online presence and attempt to build the new elementary libguide page and my professional blog, I note that I'm excited to be apart of this new environment and eager to participate in the community.

Her post is definitely worth reading and it has me reflecting on my own practice as a teacher librarian who over the last couple of weeks has taught both sketch note-taking and digital note-taking. My recent exploration in a Twitter book club which is reading Maryanne Wolf's "Reader Come Home: The Reading Brain in the Digital World" provides an interesting insight in all the different ways as mature learners we are reading the text and taking notes. For myself, I'm using my phone

Critical Thinking Skills and the Common Core

Book Clubs are one of my favourite parts of my role, it's great to sit down and chat with the kids and get down to a deeper level. As any teacher will tell you, kids will always surprise you with where their thinking goes and the connections or insights they can make. Being a Teacher Librarian and Literacy Coordinator has encouraged me to examine the  Common Core  standards more closely and how it meshes with our library standards, which are a marriage of the   ALA , the  ISTE / NETS  plus a few others.  For years I've used good old ' Blooms Taxonomy ' to help me with activities for my reading workshop so naturally I used it when planning my books clubs.  As I was perusing the Common Core standards I was rather surprised by how limited the standards were in terms of critical thinking skills. I was running a workshop about books clubs and made a quick keyword chart based on the Blooms Taxonomy Rose and CC standards. What I found was that there were plenty of standards in
