https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd ISCI 742 (Curricular Role of the School Librarian) resources saved, bookmarked, and shared via this Padlet. I will select three resources per course module starting in module 2 and ending in module 12 (33 total). en-us 2022-08-22 22:14:08 UTC 2022-11-10 01:44:38 UTC hello@padlet.com miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2268107868 I chose to include the LIIITE model as one of my three resources this week because I do not want to forget a school librarian's role and possibilities (cutting edge vs. traditional). Codesigning, coteaching, and contributing through collaborative leadership are a few phrases that stood out to me in this infographic.]]> 2022-08-23 01:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2268107868 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2276962250 I chose to also bookmark this invaluable article written to one's administrator because it is concise and straightforward, describing the unique and important roles of the school librarian. Librarians empower students to become skillful researchers and critical thinkers, are instructional partners who collaborate with other educators, etc. This is a great read to be reminded that a school librarian fulfills many roles and benefits the entire school community.]]> 2022-08-31 00:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2276962250 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2277002786 I do not want to forget that AASL provides position statements on everything from labeling practices to school library scheduling, which is very helpful. These position statements would assist a first-year teacher librarian will developing their own missions, routines, and expectations.]]> 2022-08-31 00:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2277002786 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287258471 I chose to include a direct link to this practical article, as it includes five vetted resources that students can use to separate fact from fiction. I had heard of Factcheck.org & Snopes before this read, but the others were new and important to know about. I will definitely suggest these!]]> 2022-09-08 00:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287258471 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287261638 I teach 4th grade, so I wanted to bookmark this game for future use. The core gameplay of Data Defenders is a “match-three” game which introduces players to key concepts of the information economy, particularly the idea that we pay for many online services and activities with our personal information. This game lasts for two rounds.]]> 2022-09-08 00:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287261638 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287267952 I selected this as my final resource to bookmark this week because this infographic is extremely easy to read and very informative! I feel as though adults tend to focus on a few of these digital skills, while missing the majority. This is a very helpful graphic, as we need to prepare our children appropriately for navigating digital tools.]]> 2022-09-08 00:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2287267952 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2293193012 I chose to bookmark this article titled, "Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally." I was familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy, but not familiar with the categorizing that is so beautifully done in this article. Wow! We live in a world infused with digital resources, so it is neat to see where each action falls in the hierarchy.

The authors of the revised taxonomy use verbs and gerunds to label their categories and subcategories (rather than the nouns of the original taxonomy). These “action words” describe the cognitive processes by which thinkers encounter and work with knowledge.

I need to begin by asking myself, "What is worthy and requiring of understanding?" With the end goal in mind, I can then move forward with planning instructional tasks to get where I need my students to go.]]> 2022-09-13 22:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2295220049 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2301962148 I am choosing to include this video for one of my resources to remember because it includes a lot of high-quality information. I appreciate that Striplings Inquiry Model is taken and broken down with specific examples for teacher librarians. Example:

• Connect: picture book / text excerpt / primary source (schema), hands on activity, KWL (K - "what we think we know"), think-pair-share, classroom definitions, choice (these activities help level the playing field) *ex) build a common definition of heroes // Are we taking kids on the deepest possible journey?

This is the type of article that I would love to share with all staff one day, as it outlines exactly what types of interactions occur in each of the four phases of inquiry-based learning.]]> 2022-09-19 21:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2303751529 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2303769092 I have asked my students to jot down questions they have about a particular topic, but do I step in to help students realize which questions are more powerful than others? This article was a great read and I love the question stem "Can you come up with five more questions like _______________?"  It is suggested to encourage students to go beyond brainstorming by using question families to group related information, allowing students to group by conceptual relationships. I love how the article stated, "Real research involves more than finding answers. It requires the building of answers around puzzling issues and questions."]]> 2022-09-19 21:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2303769092 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318392625 I appreciate how this website outlines a variety of Information Search and Inquiry Models and describes them. This would be a helpful resource to remember for the future, as I could use it when partnering with teachers to determine the best research model for a specific task.]]> 2022-09-28 23:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318392625 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318453406 This blog post contains helpful tips for two teachers on conducting research in the classroom. I especially appreciate that they included direct links to kid-friendly, appropriate search engines for teachers to access and share with their students. All of the tips shared in this post are ones I want to remember, especially the images one.]]> 2022-09-29 00:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318453406 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318461034 I chose to bookmark this resource because I really like how these three research models are broken down and explained on this website. It is a convenient site to pull up and use with students when discussing one of the three research models covered (ISP, Stripling & Pitts, etc.). I will be sure to also show my students the search process graphic that notes that the process is non-linear, as after taking notes you can go back and further narrow down your topic.]]> 2022-09-29 00:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2318461034 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331618897 This website includes a variety of sources such as FOSIL inquiry cycle skill sets and graphic organizers that I could use in the future. This inquiry framework (Connect, Wonder, Investigate, Construct, Express, and Reflect) is one I could utilize in the future, so I need to remember that it exists. ]]> 2022-10-08 00:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331618897 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331621407 This blog post is a great one to reference when I need to be reminded about the types of assignments that matter to students. What are the attributes of projects that help instill creativity? ]]> 2022-10-08 00:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331621407 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331622955 I definitely want to bookmark this article for future use, as it includes many helpful links to resources teachers can use who are trying out the Flipped Classroom approach. All of the tools listed in this article I was unaware of before reading it! This may be helpful for me when preparing library material to share with learners across the entire school via Google Classroom, etc.]]> 2022-10-08 00:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2331622955 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337788377 I am choosing to bookmark this article, as I am always open to new, simple ideas that I can realistically incorporate into instruction. These 10 quick assessments are a great starting point.]]> 2022-10-12 23:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337788377 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337792120 I decided to bookmark this PDF, as it contains a few formative assessment ideas. This PDF also contains templates that I could print and use with students. ]]> 2022-10-12 23:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337792120 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337796981 This is the final resource I am choosing to bookmark this week, as infographics relay information in an easy-to-read fashion. The only problem is they sometimes leave me wanting an article below it to explain points mentioned in the infographic. For example, one assessment mentioned under the "without technology" section is "colored paper" and I am not sure what exactly this looks like. The other ones look good to remember though and I love that at the top it starts by reminding us that formative assessments are a part of the instruction process.]]> 2022-10-12 23:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2337796981 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349960373 I want to bookmark this article, as it provides six practical and beneficial scaffolding strategies that I can employ with students. "Pre-teach vocabulary" is listed and one that I definitely need to implement more regularly into my classroom.]]> 2022-10-21 01:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349960373 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349964275 This is the second resource I am bookmarking this week, as this table outlines what differentiated instruction is not. So helpful! There are many misconceptions debunked and it offers good clarification for each statement. For example, it states that differentiation is not done all day everyday, but rather implemented when needed. It goes on to explain that whole-class instruction is valuable for students and necessary part of instruction.]]> 2022-10-21 01:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349964275 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349972261 The attached report is one that I now have saved to my laptop and bookmarked here, as it will be super helpful when trying to match online resources to particular needs. Presentation tools, podcast tools, audiobook sites, and note-taking tools are only a few of the subcategories included in this report so the possibilities are endless.]]> 2022-10-21 01:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2349972261 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359798808 I decided to bookmark this resource from M10 because different teachers and different tasks & lesson types require unique models. It is beneficial to see the librarian's role outlined so clearly in this table too, as the role changes depending on the need. Great resource to continually reference!]]> 2022-10-27 23:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359798808 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359845090 I want to save this poster titled, "Collaborative Strategies" because specific conversational starters and day to day strategies are provided. I need specific examples like this to use, so I don't want to forget these in the future! I feel as though some are intuitive such as "Would you like me to....." but "talk with head of departments" is a great strategy I need to remember to save time and still let every grade level know I am available to support them and their learners.]]> 2022-10-28 00:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359845090 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359856145 I chose to bookmark this article because the seven core principles noted in it can provide a common language and mindset to guide co-teachers near and far to create their own "antidote for creating dynamic learning environments." I love the way this is worded because every co-teaching partnership is a unique one. This article also states a required core principle and then provides a possible solution below for how teachers can implement it, which I especially love. For example, "equality" is one required core principle for co-teaching mentioned and the "how" is "Teachers can make sure that both of their names are listed together—in the room, on assignments, on notes that go home, etc. In addition, both teachers use the “we” and “our” language. Students know that there are two teachers in the room who are valued, knowledgeable, and excited to learn." This is both practical and helpful.]]> 2022-10-28 00:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2359856145 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369266588 I want to bookmark this article from M11 as possible reasoning for why labeling books by reading level is discouraging to readers. I was thinking I could revisit this article as needed in the future and use it to advocate for instilling authentic reading habits in our learners.]]> 2022-11-04 00:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369266588 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369366807 I am choosing to bookmark this AASL resource, as I want to follow AASL's guidelines when I am a school librarian. If a school I work in uses AR and requires that I level books instead of having them displayed for students to find books that meet their information needs then we have a problem. This position statement (and others like it) may help me better advocate for my students.]]> 2022-11-04 01:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369366807 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369372488 I have never thought of using the news regularly in my classroom to teach reading comprehension, but I love this idea. It makes total sense that if a student reads a news article that makes them wonder what it's like to be a scientist working in Antarctica, then they are going to become more curious about the topic and craft more inquisitive types of questions. I am bookmarking this article this week, as I want to use this in my ELA class.]]> 2022-11-04 01:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2369372488 miriamcattell https://padlet.com/miriamcattell/za4u2sp1ecc77kwd/wish/2377775811 I want to bookmark this site as it lists a few websites one can use for free to obtain and use public domain and creative commons images.
