The Internet for Teachers and School Library Media Specialists by Edward Valauskas,Monica Ertel Pdf

How can teachers and librarians successfully incorporate the Internet into their school's curricula? Valauskas, 'Library Journal's' monthly computer book review columnist and also a columnist for the magazines 'Online' and 'Database, ' and Ertel, Director of Knowledge Systems for Apple Computer and founder of the Apple Library Users Group, compiled this guide to show how actual, successful Internet programs have been used in elementary, middle, and high schools to teach math, science, history, literature, music, and more. Included are such examples as classes in which students download French periodicals on the Net to practice language skills; look at weather data from a Gopher server, use the data to make a map and a weather forecast, and return to the Net to check their accuracy; and access promising Gopher files on genetics for classroom debates on the merits of genetic engineering. Program descriptions are written by the faculty members and/or school library media specialists involved. Each example contains goals and results; budget, technical, and curricular information; plus photos and illustrations. A discussion of te internet's future educational prospects, a bibliography of books and articles about the Net's educational applications, a listing of the best sites for curricular integration, and an index round out this innovative resource.

School library media specialists will find this concepts-based approach to teaching electronic literacy an indispensable basic tool for instructing students and teachers. It provides step-by-step instruction on how to find and evaluate needed information from electronic databases and the Internet, how to formulate successful electronic search strategies and retrieve relevant results, and how to interpret and critically analyze search results.

The Secret Reasons Why Teachers Are Not Using Web 2.0 Tools and What School Librarians Can Do about It by Peggy Milam Creighton Ph.D. Pdf

School librarians need a simple action plan for overcoming the barriers to adopting School Library 2.0. This book provides one, and describes how fully integrating technology would dramatically benefit 21st-century schools. Web 2.0 and its associated tools have the power to substantially increase student achievement. This book has two straightforward primary purposes: to detail the research-based reasons classroom teachers fail to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into their instruction and collaboration with other educators; and to provide actionable strategies to rectify these omissions. The Secret Reasons Why Teachers Are Not Using Web 2.0 Tools and What School Librarians Can Do about It provides authoritative definitions of Web 2.0, explains the types of Web 2.0 tools suited for use in educational settings, examines the research-based reasons they are underutilized, and offers strategies for school librarians to model the use of technology-enabled tools—and for teaching others to do so. This book will benefit anyone wishing to effect a positive social change in improving student achievement: practicing K–12 librarians and educators, K–12 school and district administrators, and researchers in the field of K–12 education.

The School Library Media Manager by Blanche Woolls Pdf

All of the chapters in this popular school library management textbook have been revised and updated. Written in an accessible, conversational style, it is ideal for student use. Traditional management topics are integrated within chapters that provide a complete overview of the profession and all aspects of school library management. Each chapter has student exercises to pique discussion and critical thought, and the tone of the book is that of an instructor discussing what a school library should look like, with an emphasis on the role of the school librarian as educator. The author addresses the development of the school library media center through the changes in K-12 education over time and explores the way such changes affected school libraries. Attention is given to the leadership responsibility to be an advocate at local, state and national levels. The new National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification for school librarians is discussed as are budget, facilities, cataloging, copyright, selection of materials, staff evaluation and all the other basic managerial functions.
