Article on the use of iPods in education

If you are interested in what different universities are doing with ipods, check out the article in this month's issue of Multimedia & Internet @ Schools entitled "The Proof is in the Podding" by Stephen Abram. His email is stephen.abram@sirsidynix.com

The article discusses Duke Universities purchase of an Ipod for every student and the applications they used for them. What a great boost to education!

There is also a great list of resources at the end of the article including:

Curriculum and Libraries

If you are teaching Information Literacy, there is a great grade-friendly curriculum available at Common Sense Media . It is easy to follow and very student friendly. At the Corning Painted-Post Middle Schools, we have been teaching a class this year to the 6th grades called Library and Information Skills. This site has had some great resources we have used. Another site we have used for resources is: ReadWorks . Their stories are mostly non-fiction and align to the Common Core.

The library

We only have one more day before midterms begin. I have been trying to get the magazine order straightened out and the rest of the books cataloged in. I taught database researching this week to another class of seniors. I have to say I love http://citationmachine.net if you have never used this site, it shows you how to cite resources in MLA and APA format.

Personal Branding for Librarians

This article has just been published in American Libraries : Personal Branding for Librarians By Karen G. Schneider Distinguishing yourself from the professional herd It brings up an interesting idea on how librarians should brand themselves to better sell themselves to the profession but also warns about pigeon-holing yourself into a job you may not be qualified for or desire to work in. I am currently an Middle School Librarian. I was involuntarily transferred from the high school this year-they moved 6 out of 8 of the district's librarians. I wonder how branding would work with school librarians. This article is a very interesting read. I found it through LinkedIn, the professional site which may give it more weight.
