Blogpost to share ideas with teachers for starting year remotely and remembering SEL connections

Blogpost to share ideas with teachers for starting year remotely and remembering SEL connections

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our district and many others found out recently we will be starting school with remote learning. It'll be different from last spring because we already knew many of our students then, but when school starts we'll all have many students who are new to us. It's had a lot of us thinking about how to build connections with students. Whether we are librarians or teachers, finding ways to bridge the gap and create a sense of community matter. And it reminds me of what my friend and colleague Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach says - this isn't remote learning, it's "connected learning. " So how can we forge those connections?

Setting the stage at the beginning of the year is vitally important. Quality Matters, an organization that certifies online college courses, explains to their course participants the importance of helping students feel comfortable and prepared at the beginning of the year. We often pay more attention to the content of the course itself(especially at secondary) than we do to taking time to build these connections. But with all the tumult in the world right now, plus students new to the school, we need to take the time to develop relationships with students. And although Zoom or online classes are not ideal for every student, as any user of social media can attest, you can create relationships with people you've never met in person. And despite the challenges, one of the unique things that happened in the spring semester was students seeing teachers and librarians as more than teachers, but as parents, pet owners, family members, etc. So how can we continue to build relationships that are authentic this fall?
Engaging with Joy
I'm reminded of the pictured exhibit above from the Artechouse Exhibit in D.C. called " In Peak Bloom." Viewers could interact with a digital room whose walls were covered with projected flower petals that moved as we swished our hands up and down and around. Yes, we were engaging with something digital - but we were also engaged in play and joy. And though each of us was having our own experience with the wall, we were also sharing the digital experience together.

I think often about Dean Shareski's book, Embracing a Culture of Joy. He writes and speaks a lot about schools and happiness, play and joy. If you follow his work, you have probably seen his family's jumping photos, which he wrote about in " What's With All the Jumping?" As you think about ways to connect with students this fall - don't forget that joy and happiness build relationships between people. Maybe we need to ask our students to send us jumping photos!

Some other ideas for building connections with students (and don't forget to add the fun/joy to all of these ideas):

welcoming and unique introductory video to help students get to know you and maybe showing your physical classroom or library to give them a sense of "place"

posts in Google Classroom or your website welcoming them to the course/library in your unique voice

screencasts of how to navigate your course LMS or library website/catalog so new students will feel more confident

a graphically pleasing introduction to procedures in your course that is personalized (can use Canva or Google Slides rather than a text filled typed syllabus or dry rules)

initial connection building activities like sharing favorite music, favorite books or pet names/pictures

scavenger hunt or trivia contest that starts even before school begins

roll call question of the day (students check in with an answer to the question)

Create classroom norms around online learning like @jcasatodd did- important and something you could cocreate with students.

have students create an Instagram page using something like this Instagram Get to Know You template from Lisa Johnson(@techchef4u)

using Bitmojis or memes to create an identity

using a site like Thinglink with an image of your library/classroom to create a sense of place like our district librarians did for summer reading

build anything - Asking students to collaborate early on in some shared building experience creates connection.

invite students to share their favorite summer reads via Flipgrid and to comment on one other student's video (if students are reluctant about being on video allow them to substitute an image like of the book cover, for example)

use a creation or writing activity from Jason Reynold's video series Write. Rite. Right. like these: "Your Hero Writes You a Response" or "Write an Award for yourself"

Ask students to write or share a personal commitment for the year - number of books they want to read, or something they want to learn from your course - something that can be revisited later in the year as a way to get to know students and build investment

In her blog post, Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Learning Jennifer Casa Todd shares a host of other creative ways we can ask the right questions and connect with students at the beginning of and throughout the semester.

Gamified anything - it doesn't have to be hokey but most of us enjoy something that engages us in creativity and competition. Even if something short like a Kahoot to get to know you as their teacher - a game is a way to create some joy and connection.

Also, a reminder, that students respond to play, no matter how old they are. Starting school online will entail a certain amount of stress for both students and teachers alike. Figuring out ways to bond with students early on in ways that are also joyful for you both will make all of our experiences richer, even if they aren't in person.

I'd love to hear your creative ideas and resources - feel free to share with me here or on Twitter @technolibrary.

The Georgia Library Media Association polled teacher librarians about what we did and how we worked in the spring, and they created a document that we can use to advocate for our positions (and also to help guide us as we plan what we will do in a virtual learning model). It aligns with our state standards and evaluation instrument but is easily adaptable.

To help support both Inclusion and STEM, I've gathered 10-12 picture books on each topic, recorded myself reading them aloud, attached an easy activity, and then the kids or teachers submit that they completed that title through Google Forms with the Certify'em add on that will then email them a certificate.  It is a way that I can help meet these goals while still respecting the teacher's time.

YES! Full shelves are hard to navigate and give the appearance of a well-stocked library. Quality is better than quantity!

Collection is not just what you buy. It's what you point to, make available, contextualize. Curation is the story you tell around the resources you collect. It's your instructional voice. It's about engaging with your community. It's about modeling a new set of tools and a new set of skills.

Like all of you, I have been brainstorming, planning and creating lots of ways we can connect our students to reading, books, Makerspace materials and all of the experiences that come along with these things and other programming in our library and classrooms.

After I developed the BOOKHUB program for our print books, I thought about how I was going to connect our students, teachers and families to our wonderful Destiny virtual library collection in creative, meaningful and fun ways too.

Then I started to think about our eBooks, audiobooks and other eResources. We have lots of amazing online resources, especially eBooks with over 10,000 in our collection, so I wanted to create something fun and interactive that could highlight handfuls of them at a time. And something they could access anywhere.

Since BOOKHUB was so much fun to create, I picked another popular product and logo our students and school community would know...

I searched for lots of images and looked at our NETFLIX on the television and app.

I also wanted to incorporate their tagline, SEE WHAT'S NEXT.

Since all of our eBooks, audiobooks and other eResources, such as PebbleGo and Collections by Destiny, are included in our Destiny I am calling it....

....DESTINYFLIX, See What's Next To Read In Our Virtual Library.

I created our DESTINYFLIX as a choice board in a Google Slide.

You can create your own NETFLIX logo using this site, which allows you to make any title you'd like.

It has different categories such as Trending eBooks Now, Popular eBooks and Audiobooks in Van Meter, Newly Added Audiobooks, Newly Added eBooks and even the 2020-21 Iowa Goldfinch and Children's Choice Award eBooks.

I can change the categories and books covers throughout the year. They can tie into seasonal themes, special events like Dot Day or World Read Aloud Day, author and illustrator visits, publisher highlights and so much more.

Once we return to school in the fall, I want to add a Student Voice or Top Student Recommendations as a category as I shared at the top, Recommended by our readers.

I included these simple instructions at the top,

To play, click on the book covers to read, listen and explore in our Destiny. You can scan the QR code to open up DESTINYFLIX too.

I used a little GIF arrow to grab the attention of our readers when using DESTINYFLIX online.

Students, teachers and families will be able to uses DESTINYFLIX online through the choice board link or the...

...new pages I added to our library and continuous learning websites for elementary and secondary.

They can view and use it on any device.

Since a Google Slide can be published to the web and shared through a link or embed code, it makes it very easy to embed it into a Google Site too. This makes the choice board interactive.

I also am super excited to take our DESTINYFLIX and...

...BOOKHUB to turn them into bookmarks for all our students and teachers when school starts.

I took these two graphics today and created two sided, colored bookmarks using Overnight Prints.

They will love having these handy at school and home with information and QR codes to take them to Destiny and the DESTINYFLIX or BOOKHUB choice board on each. I will make sure each classroom has a big stack of the bookmarks and that we send them home too.

We will also be printing off DESTINYFLIX in posters and handing them out to each classroom.

On the big classroom posters, we will make them interactive by adding a QR code to each cover that will take them directly to that eBooks, audio book or other resource within Destiny.

That way students can come up to the big DESTINYFLIX poster, browse, scan what they would like to read or find out more about.

And with Destiny, it is VERY easy to grab the direct link or QR to any resource.

We will use Crown...An Ode To The Fresh Cut as an example. When I click on this eBook in Destiny...

...it open this box up where I click on More Details. Note that it also shows readers that it is an eBook by that little "e" in the bottom left hand corner.

The record of the book pops up where I can read a description, Favorite and Open to read.

At the bottom, when you click on Share, it gives the URL and QR code that takes readers directly to that resource in Destiny.

Now, I want to add this information to the book cover.

First, I clicked Copy under the URL.

Then within the DESTINYFLIX choice board, I found the book cover image of Crown,

clicked on it,

when to the link at the top,

..the URL I had found in Destiny.

When I click on Crown, it shows that URL is connected to the cover.

When it is clicked...

...it opens up that record in Destiny where readers can then...

...click on Open to read the eBook.

It is the same for an audiobook.

Everyone of the covers will be linked that way.

I also made a few more in case you want BOOKFLIX,

or AUDIOBOOKFLIX. You will find them all here.

One little tip....I used the rectangles as guides when placing the book covers. When I was finished, I then deleted those. I would make a template before you put your first set of covers into DESTINYFLIX, so it is super easy to make more and changes.

I can't wait to share this with all of our readers and community. I will be creating three different DESTINYFLIX'S, elementary, middle and high school, so I can direct all readers to recommendations, award books, new resources and more throughout the year.

DESTINYFLIX...See What's Next To Read In Our Virtual Library!

Library Fines - Removing Barriers to Access White Paper

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The project was created in 2010 with a simple goal in mind; one book to connect the world. From its humble beginnings, the GRA has grown to make a truly global connection with milllions of students having participated.

What is it?

The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. While there are commonly used such as Skype, Twitter, Padlet, or Flipgrid, you choose the tools that will make the most sense for you. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year.

When is it?

Once a year, starting in early October and running through mid-November. Due to the time commitment, this is only a once a year project, however, two fantastic spin-off projects run at other times; the New Zealand Read Aloud and the French version of GRA, Ecouter Lire le Monde.

As a type 2 diabetic, regular activity is an important part of staying healthy. I used to try and bike for an hour but would get bored. My previous bike broke and after researching options I chose a FitDesk. The desk makes it easy to read a book while I pedal so the time flies by. I recommend FitDesk to anyone who wants an easy way to stay active and healthy.
