https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians As we celebrate, share and support others, I am gathering voices from Future Ready Librarians around the world. Please take a moment to answer this question.... What does it mean to be a Future Ready Librarian? Thank you so much, friends. You Future Ready VOICE is so important! en-us 2017-05-15 01:10:56 UTC 2023-01-27 08:17:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/436185/f172abeb049753792789e867f985c59f/Screen_Shot_2017_05_14_at_8_13_24_PM.png https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171731148 As a future ready librarian I am looking not only for reading literacy but information literacy and digital literacy. I need to know that students will leave my school ready for high school and ready to make an impact in the world. I want them to learn more than how to google or you tube the answers they need. I need to teach them how to find the information they need, how to filter it, and how to apply it to their lives. ]]> 2017-05-15 02:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171731148 https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171750300 As a future ready librarian I look to build connections with my community far beyond the walls of my library space, and share the value we bring to each other--which will evolve and change as our society faces new opportunities, ideas, challenges and technologies]]> 2017-05-15 05:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171750300 https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171892606 As a Future Ready Librarian in a middle school, I see all the students in my school through the lens of their content classes. I collaborate with teachers, both in building and throughout the district, to design and implement curriculum that reaches the whole student, integrates technology, differentiates for the diverse learners in our community, and is standards-based. I work with district partners to design curriculum frameworks to be used district-wide.]]> 2017-05-15 16:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171892606 https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171962981 Being future ready means being customer service oriented. Having a flexible attitude allows me to meet the needs of students & teachers. I collaborate with teachers to meet their classroom objectives. Lessons can be infused with technology or books. The library should be the hub of learning & activity on campus. ]]> 2017-05-15 22:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171962981 tracy_mercier https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/171968139 As a Future Ready Librarian I strive to keep the wants and needs of the current generation in mind. They want tech & need to learn how to use it in new & different ways to communicate globally.

This means being flexible, open to change and new ideas, providing robust resources that best serve our students and staff and integrating those into project based learning experiences.

As a future ready librarian I want students to find in our libraries a place that encourages them to participate in their learning as explorers, creators, and collaborators amongst themselves, their teachers, and their communities. I want to inspire in them the desire to look for information, and, no matter where it is found, to be able to know fake from real. I want them to continue their search with high expectations of the results they want to find.]]> 2017-05-16 21:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shannonmmiller/wearefuturereadylibrarians/wish/172201223
