Future Ready Library empowers students as creators, cultivates community partnerships (from classroom to classroom, with other schools, outside of school district-authors)

SAMR:
substitution- tech is direct tool, no functional change
augmentation-direct tool substitute with functional improvement
modification-tech allows for significant task redesign
redefinition-tech allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable
*goal is students working harder than the teacher

Examples of SAMR:
1) Book Clubs wrap up activities
S-recreate book jacket using Big Huge Labs
A-book snap videos using various tools
M-book trailer using iMovie, Windows movie maker then shared during morning assignments, websites, etc.
R-book talk connection using google hangout to discuss with other schools, or hangout/ skype with author

2) Author Studies
S-google slides to introduce author
A-nearpod
M-google earth exploration (example Jan Brett Book Tour)
R-mystery hangout collaborating with other schools sharing retelling with clues so other schools can guess book

3) Breakouts (student discovery/ inquiry based learning for introductory or content based lessons)
S-breakout boxes with one computer based component
A-digital breakout all components are on computer (you can used google forms)
M-student created breakouts using historical fiction picture books that they did research on a piece of the book (student choice/ inquiry learning)
R-make a google site to house student created breakouts to share outside of the classroom

4) Coding Club
S-Code and Go (mice)
A-Dash and Dot/ Makey Makey
M-Bloxels
R- Create an app

5) STEAM/ STEM w/ intentional curriculum connections and inquiry- based problem solving strategies
(Use Friday as Library STEAM day, rotate grade levels each Friday, tie into classroom learning allows opportunity to collaborate with 4th/5th science/ math/ ss teachers)
S-Google Drawing Ad to promote an invention that solved an everyday problem (persuasive ad)
A-Flipgrid Explanation on invention, reflect on experience and outcome-if it didn’t work, why?

*we can greatly influence the outcome of the reading programs and culture by creating lasting efffects of reading for enjoyment and understanding

Student Voices:
*I would rather just enjoy the book instead of logging the pages, minutes, etc.
*students and many librarians do not like AR, especially since teachers are using it a their curriculum

We cannot compete for students attention unless we offer what they want to learn, read, or explore!

Everything should count, because students are reading everything.

Librarians HAVE to help students find books about subjects that interest them.

CULTURE OF READING
*students attribute being a reader with being encouraged by a person, not a program
*paired reading-pairing with another person who shares the same interests
*quality DOES matter according to an 11th grader

SO WHAT ARE KIDS READING DIGITALLY?
~The Linkster Generation~
*popular fiction websites
*wikipedia
*social media
*millions of millinials are reading 6 minute horror stories told through text messages
*rapid reads (google it!)
*graphic novels
Wikipedia game: 6 degrees of separation to get to Hitler

Involve Stakeholders- students
*provide them with book recommendation forms to solicit their advice
*student-led makerspace, students are in charge of their learning through growth and persistance
*student-led news crew: students produce and run the show (4th graders fill out an application must include 7 references and good attendance)

Future Ready Librarian:
*Librarians have a bigger influence than even principals- every single person that comes through the library is a potential patron
*Librarians have to be leaders in their buildings because they support campuses in becoming Future Ready campuses
*Librarians must lead beyond the library: participate in setting the disrict’s vision and strategic plan for digital learning and fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation to empower teachers and learners
      -be strategic in how you spend your time, more than just staying busy
*relationship b/w FRL and ISTE standards

1) Be a force for change and be leaders
*being literate means more, now, than just being able to read and write
*making decisions/ changes to fill a need on campus or within the district
*librarians have the space to do things that teachers cannot do in their classroom space
-libraries are perfect for “trying things”: makerspace, technology
-tie this “thing” back to the FRL standards
-choose the “thing” that will make the greatest impact on your campus
-come up with solutions to campus wide issues
*find a way to get “a seat at the table”
-find a way to contribute and get “a seat” instead of complaining

2) Digital Age Mentors...Building Partnerships
*one suggestion: offer digital citizenship lessons to parents in the evenings
*have the emotional strength/ courage to take the first step and inntiate the potential partnership

3) Know your culture

4) Tell your story...Be a champion [for yourself and your students]
*if you don’t tell your story someone else will
*your story is what you value, and how you want your library program to be percieved
*ask your students what they want and need their library to be
LIBRARIANS CANNOT GIVE UP ON KIDS!!

5) Leading through equity
*we have to lead the way in addressing and closing the equity gaps: resources, access, experiences, etc.
