The 21st Century Library
I love the graphic above! Thank you thedaringlibrarian.com. The new Library is striving to be collaborator, digital, defender, and change agent! As your Librarian I am seeking to create an environment in the library that is inviting, collaborative between students and teachers, digital, and a defender of great literature!
My professional goal as your 21st Century Librarian
|
To provide the 21st Century Learner an environment that collaboratively encourages students to become life-long readers, to become independent learners who think critically, develop research skills, use information ethically, and utilize technology inventively.
These goals are accomplished through striving to be a collaborator, digital, and a change agent within the school! All of these actions are used in conjunction and by following the 21st Century Learner skills. |
The American Library Association challenges teachers and librarians to lead our students to reach the objectives in the standards linked above. Castleberry ISD seeks to evaluate the skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly global and digital world. The ISTE and the standards for the 21st Century Learner are aligned and have the same goals for students learning in this digital age. Click Here to see the ISTE standards for students.

The Role of the 21st Century Library
|
*You consider new ways to promote reading; downloadable audio books,Playaways, Kindles, iPads, Nooks.
*Your students blog or tweet or network in some way about what they are reading. *You organize the Web for learners. You have the skills to create a blog or website or wiki or portal of some other type to pull together resources to meet the specific information needs of your learning community. * Your own feeds are rich with learning content, evidence of your networking. You embed dynamic widgets(including your own database widgets) wherever students live, work, and play. *You understand that library is not just a place to get stuff, it is a place to make stuff, collaborate on and share stuff. Not a grocery store, but a kitchen! By Joyce Kasman Valenza http://www.teacherlibrarian.com/2011/05/01/manifesto-for-21st-century-teacher-librarians/ |
