Hooray for another year at Summer Institute! So here is my advice on all things “2.0″. During my presentation, you’ll hear about some of the 2.0ey things that we do at BVN. So buckle up, digits on the keyboard, and Digg in (punny 
!
What I Teach:
–Information skills through all content areas
–Mostly work with SS and CA and have branched out including Sped, PE, math, science, and PA departments
–Create webliographies for every class including reference materials and databases
–Use podcasting to meet the needs of all learners through several projects this year
–Use creative booktalking including websites and vod/podcasting for reading promotion
Background:
–Did not read a lot in high school and did not utilize my high school library very often
–Taught math in Grandview, MO for 5 years: 3 yrs-7th grade math, 2 yrs-high school math: algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, practical math
–After my first year teaching began working on an MLS from ESU at my big bro’s encouragement
–Completed MLS in 2004
–Was hired at my alma mater in 2006 by my awesome partner Terri!
–Now I love YA fiction, use podcasting as a huge resource in my library, am also interested in game-based learning/gaming
Standards-how they affect us:
Standards for the 21st century learner:
#1: Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge
#2: Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge
#3: Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society
#4: Pursue personal and aesthetic growth
Affect: These standards make our instruction apply to all students at all content areas and levels. These skills promote life-long learning and produce information savvy, information thirsty learners!
National Educational Technology Standards for Students:
#1: Creativity and Innovation
#2: Communication and Collaboration
#3: Research and Information Fluency
#4: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making
#5: Digital Citizenship
#6: Technology Operations and Concepts
Affect: We live in the digital age and more importantly, our students were born in it! They know nothing else! These standards allow us to transform our lessons into the language of our learners. Traditional teaching methods such as lecture and knowledge-level instruction can be transformed into student directed, problem-solving information tasks using these standards. They allow us to become teachers in the world that our students live in, rather than expecting all of them to conform to the same way we’ve been doing it.
Core Technologies at BVN:
–LMS designed webliographies provide access to databases
–Class podcasts are available for classes/community members to hear/view
–Research resources
–FAQs for paper writing
–Assignment rubrics
–Reading promotion via pod/vodcasting
–Library catalog
–Classroom Performance system “clickers”
–Booktalk kiosk via digital picture frame
–Photostory/moviemaker
–Mp3 players for podcasting/audiobook use
Podcasting is part of library activities. Teachers podcast review sessions for tests, students create songs, record papers, and create projects using Audacity, MovieMaker, and PhotoStory
Web 2.0 tools: Pbwikis, Twitter, Meez, Voki, Voicethread, Moodle, Edublogs, ZamZar, etc.
Wikifrom SI (example)
My Podomatic Site (use this to host your own podcasts)
We use a wiki for our bookclub. We have also used wikis with health and CA classes. The benefits are online notes compiled by all; for long assignments, students can split up the work and compile one list easily. Drawback for us was that only one person can edit at a time. Facebook and myspace are blocked at our school. We do not have any teachers using a blog other than moodle (which they love).
Users: Can be easily surveyed via surveymonkey, polldaddy, zoomerang, etc. I have used surveymonkey in the past. The most difficult thing for us is getting the students to take the survey. I think that we will incorporate it during freshmen orientation next year. This will allow us to meet the needs of all users as they request services.
Fun: Gaming tournaments! Toon doo, free rice, librarything, video production competitions, book cart drill team, etc.
Interactive website: “Ask a librarian“; create chat feature for students in school, etc.
If you are taking this for graduate credit, here’s a link to the Summer Institute website, which will allow you to find the wiki to post to!
