Today's tech-savvy and digitally connected students present a new
challenge for today's school librarians. This book offers the
21st-century tools and know-how necessary for educators to appeal
to and challenge students to learn-and to want to learn. What are
the best ways to motivate students to become engaged and develop a
passion for learning? Can appealing to their desire for
socialization and constant communication-attributes of their lives
outside of education-via the integration of cutting-edge
technologies and "new media" in the library or classroom serve to
ignite creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking? This book
shows how you can make use of non-traditional tools such as popular
social networks, collaborative technologies, and cloud computing to
teach information and communications technologies integrated with
the school curriculum to improve student learning-and demonstrates
how these same technologies can help you measure skills and mastery
learning. The book provides an easy-to-follow blueprint for using
collaborative techniques, innovation, and teaching for creativity
to achieve the new learning paradigm of self-directed learning,
such as flipping the classroom or library. Readers of this book
will find concrete, step-by-step examples of proven lesson plans,
collaborative models, and time-saving strategies for the successful
integration of American Association of School Librarians (AASL)
standards. The authors-both award-winning teachers-explain the
quantitatively and qualitatively measurable educational value of
using these technologies for core curricular and information and
communications technologies instruction, showing that they both
enhance student learning outcomes and provide data for measuring
their impact on learning. Includes innovative, practical lesson
plans designed to promote problem solving skills, flexible
thinking, and metacognition as well as an extensive bibliography of
additional resources Addresses how to analyze quantitative and
qualitative data to perform the assessment necessary to improve
learning outcomes Provides essential information and guidance for
K-12 librarians, technology integration teachers, and educators as
well as school administrators Addresses key aspects of learning
such as critical thinking, inquiry, learning spaces, blended
learning, engagement, motivation, and Common Core State Standards
