Hi! Karyn, junior high librarian popping in! I was at an author event with Aaron Becker so I'm just tuning in!
A2: we're the problem solvers, think outside the box, creative solutions people
Thanks for joining us. Our overall topic is How to Help Fellow Teachers Find Success in the Digital Age
I love authors like most ppl love rock stars! Hope you had fun!

Welcome to the finger-flying fun of !
A2: being calm in the face of obstacles helps others be calm too
We are "connectors' https://t.co/qGUTVThSOk
Tech support, sending ideas as they cross my desk or I hear about an upcoming lesson, book suggestions...
Hi Laura! Gladto see you've popped in!
1:1 Match! I'm doing Personal Shopping & the kids are LOVING it!
Yes, I will share this name at our L PLC this Thursday!
Information matchmaker, personal shopper... these awesome labels just keep coming!
Hate to leave early - kids' bedtime. I will check out the archive. :) , looking forward to seeing you st !
A2: I try to take things off Ts plates & find ways I can support what they are doing. Right now we're learning about our Ss habits.
See you there! Be sure we get a !
Sometimes, being the one without the gradebook makes all the difference.
A3: One on one "just in time" learning sessions
A3: If I'm pitching something new, my 1st contact is face-to-face. I'll find Ts during their off hour, before or after school
A3: ...and I always tell the T or S that they must "drive" the tech while I coach over the shoulder
Cindy Evans, TL in Hot Springs , AR, running late, but joining
Take Your Students On A Food Truck For A LIVE GHO With Chef Jason & his students! Join us Wed. https://t.co/9G0Ee60w0T
I love that phrasing. Totally stealing it!
A3: Share/model; give Ts an authentic example-they will ask if you can do that with their class too--often word of mouth does trick
Glad you are here! Q3 asked what processes you use to support Ts when introducing new things
A3: I tell Ts abt new things I've learned when they visit. Or I visit them. Sometimes I stalk Ts in the hallway to share cool tools
A2: With teachers, let them use the skill/concept for something personal to introduce. Same as Ss-authentic
Thanks for joining us. We're discussing Helping Ts find success in the digital age.
A3: I personalize EVERYTHING. Show them with examples w/ THEIR content and THEIR projects. And of course, offer unlimited support
A3: It is student/teacher driven; based on what they are doing and what they want to accomplish
A3 In order to meet their needs, I have to know what they are. I attend planning mtgs to see how to help apply tech to their needs.
I think the live chats for need a new hashtag--maybe ?
A3: Sometimes I bypass Ts altogether, showing new tools to Ss. If S finds it valuable, the word spreads & Ts eventually ask about it
A3: I've also learned taking the time to just TALK & LISTEN helps more than almost anything
A3: With teachers intro skill with something personal. Just like Ss - authentic learning
Best advice I ever got was sit in the lunchroom & listen to teachers...so much collaboration can happen at lunch
To be honest, I sometimes learn tech more from students than from teachers.
I pick one tangible research skill to focus on during each collaborative lesson. Small things are much more chewable.
This fits my early learners to perfectly!
SIGH...If only I had a lunch....
A3: I have some teachers that like to be a student and learn along with the class!
A3: We also share new info/ tools during library lunch programs. Sometimes Ss help me present PD to Ts! https://t.co/ZMbzSyWKWn
A3: This year I am coteaching tech with the classroom teachers. Hopefully this will get them using the tech themselves.
A3: Be willing to spiral back. Know that not all Ts will learn on the first attempt & may need to see again in a new context
Hi ! Better late than never - had to drive art lesson carpool! Lisa, K-6 teacher librarian from Bucks Co. PA :)
A3: Always follow up after PD with an email or visit. How can I help? More questions? What do u need?
I read your post about the student created breakout for teachers. Awesome!
I am the handout queen. great way for Ss and Ts to refer back after lesson is over + they're on their own! Post to google classroom
Yes. That support means so much! https://t.co/Up57nJsfPI
A3: Always follow up after PD with an email or visit. How can I help? More questions? What do u need?
A3: Sometimes having a rockin' lesson with one person spills over into more potential lessons! Every day is a potential opportunity
I have done this too! Also used new tech in a presentation so Ts can see it in use and ask later!
This is one of my goals for the year, . Glad to hear it works well for you! Gives me hope :) https://t.co/YNhysdLqXf
A3: We also share new info/ tools during library lunch programs. Sometimes Ss help me present PD to Ts! https://t.co/ZMbzSyWKWn
A4 Something I heard at : just commit to trying 1 or 2 new things, avoid being overwhelmed.
A4 Just today, showed a teacher how easy it was to grade a quiz using Flubaroo.
Right?! If I'm teaching a tech shouldn't I model the use of that tech?? https://t.co/jD7tHsynOU
I have done this too! Also used new tech in a presentation so Ts can see it in use and ask later!
A4: Look at the hwk they assign kids, find resources and deliver them to the T's room. I feel like a professional stalker...lol
A4: I first approach more willing members on their team/PLC; if whole team gets on board, they get dragged along or left behind
A4: Stay positive and keep putting it out there...eventually something will stick.
So true! I think some Ts feel like they have to do all - so they do none
LOL! Right! We are super stealth detectives!
Yes! It is like a river and you don't want to be left on the shore.
great advice! I've set 2 goals I'm trying to do really well this year!
Following up is so important. Could even provide related resources for teachers to refer back to.
Sell the kids on it & they will lead the way too : )
A4. Patience! Keep all in the loop of what you can offer, open slots in the calendar. Word of mouth helps.
A4: show off new resources/tech tools when they are having their kids gather data in the lab...
A4: NEVER give up. Be a solution even if it's not ur goal (let them use laptops in library without you). Keep showing your value
A4: found reluctant Ts love help. I'll push in during their computer time or have them come during my prep to demo new stuff.
A4: I like to meet with reluctant Ts individually to show tech tools. I offer to team teach w them. This seems to calm their fears 😎
A4: Continue reaching out to all Ts. Keep the door open. They need to feel valued and non-threatened. Emphasize partnership.
Sorry to leave early! Thanks for the ideas and great conversation!
That's so true! Success breeds more success when it comes to collaboration.
See you later my friend : )
Ts loved it! Thank you for this encouragement, Diane! I will tell !
Great option for quizzes using Google Forms extension
A4: Offer to make it worth their while! I offer to grade and/or instruct. makes it super easy to do this!
A4: Talk about all the times you made mistakes. It helps to let teachers know its okay if things don't go 100% according to plan
forgot https://t.co/mZ6GkQpACS
Oh, and reminders (A4 cont)! I'll remind Ts about something they used a while ago ..."Oh yeah - I loved Pebble Go last year!"
LOVE the phrase professional stalker!
a4: Just to play Devil's advocate - I think it is ok to put most of our time & energies into rockstars. Create more Ts who can lead
Thanks - what are you focusing on (if you want to share).
A3: I also send teachers pins from if I find something they can use.
A4: Teachers love positive energy and enthusiasm! No one likes a drama llama!
oh I totally agree. I have a great group of Ts willing to try anything and jump in. They lead and others will follow!
This is so true! https://t.co/DHsw6TVYDJ
A4: Talk about all the times you made mistakes. It helps to let teachers know its okay if things don't go 100% according to plan
YES! We cannot have an air of perfection - it will turn people away https://t.co/BJoK6qIBTr https://t.co/TIDVQXBeww
A4: Talk about all the times you made mistakes. It helps to let teachers know its okay if things don't go 100% according to plan
Yes. work with the willing! Best energy spent for kids.
A4: Did anyone say Chocolate? That and patience.
lol! "If you feed them, they will come."
You can convince anyone with food!
All those things...Can I have some chocolate please? LOL!
A4: I'm considering trying a breakfast meeting with a department to show off MakerSpace curr connections
and prizes. We all love prizes. :)
The first librarian I ever worked with when I was a T always had Hersey kisses on her desk :) s/o !
1: student reading groups during lunch 2: maker activities connected to classroom content, not crafts
After school workshops are also great ways to introduce tech, offer services.
A3: If it is something new to the school, like , I ask to have staff meeting time. I also offer lessons via email & sign up.
now THAT I couldn't do... b/c I'd eat them all.
I am using Bagels and Books this year!
Time is flying by! Q5 coming up shortly!
I also use Tech Badges. Use a form for T to report tool used then I put a badge on their door frame. Celebrate accomplishments!
yay ! Did you celebrate school wide? I did activities in the library w/my 2nd-6th graders.
I always am the in service workshop presenter wth chocolate for the afternoon session - always good evaluations!
I like making instructional videos & or step by step picture directions to new tech so teachers can learn in own time & place
LOVE this! Ts like badges, too! https://t.co/jN1BJ6eFEc
I also use Tech Badges. Use a form for T to report tool used then I put a badge on their door frame. Celebrate accomplishments!
So many fun possibilities in an elementary school. :)
did that last year & got great response. Had sticky notes out so they could get "dibs" on new books!
omg - DOUG! Used to LOVE that cartoon!!!
I love that idea! It might get others excited to try things.
A5. Much more reliance on library databases, online citation generators. But also more opportunity for plagiarism!
A5: Ss need to be more discerning in choosing resources. Even more evaluation needed than in past.
What do you use to create the videos?
A5 Extensions like Cite This for Me, make citing works effortless!
A4: Encouragement and praise for what they can do-- support for new, unfamiliar skills.
A5 Better content can be found free on the web today than 5 years ago with good search strings.
A5: Need to teach organizational structures beyond table of con, index, and chapter headings; who is teaching structure of internet?
A5: It has gotten easier to find material assessabile to PK-2nd, such as PebbleGo
A5: better b/c there are so many resources out there. Harder b/c there are so many resources out there!
A5 I removed all books from Reference, put some in NF, gave some away, recycled others.
A5: Too many teachers think they don't need librarian 4 instruction of locating info even in databases-not intentionally but easier
I love Add-On for docs. Let's you put in ISBN -- use all the time for grad school!
I make a lot of mine using the Screencastify extension for Chrome
A5: It is so important that we focus on the SKILL and not the TOOL. Teach strategies, not specific features.
A5: bottomline kids want digital resources so commit budget to them, expose them, and show why your purchased materials are better
Yup. I see our role as sifting though the grit & dirt & giving the gold nuggets to our teachers
yes! We tried comparing that last year when evaluating sources - tough one since websites are so varied in structure!
It also promotes positive competition. "I don't have that badge. How did you get it? " https://t.co/hg87FEvv9r
I love that idea! It might get others excited to try things.
A5 took the emphasis off of formatting citations and put it on identifying "what is my source"
Definitely. And like w/ Ss, teaching how to sift rather than just giving the list of the best, etc.
A5: There is an amazing amount of info to wade through and we are the guides on the journey! https://t.co/9Wjf9cszJJ
A5: But with more resources, teachers feel lost...they come back to realizing how we curate and select and help students
You are the BEST! Love the graphic!
I would agree. There are also misconceptions among Ts, though, about what a database is.... https://t.co/lOfziPGfYs
A5: Too many teachers think they don't need librarian 4 instruction of locating info even in databases-not intentionally but easier
This is REALLY IMPORTANT- strategies transfer, tools can vary
A5: Need to teach evaluation skills that work on multiple information source types
Oh the fabulous feeling of weeding! I did that too! https://t.co/6QmkKn4Kze
A5 I removed all books from Reference, put some in NF, gave some away, recycled others.
I'm a huge fan of . The chrome extension and the app are incredible.
A5: Teaching characteristics of credible sources.
A5: With content not really the issue we are all back to Epistomology We teach learning. We teach people, https://t.co/YSeRTpHGtZ
Joining late! Hello, friends!
A5 Students think they know how to find info that they need but instruction is needed to use many resources effectively.
One of my favorite resources for teaching evaluation of sources is https://t.co/yyBuADSXS5 but easy to overwhelm site
A5: We also must help Ts and Ss know what digital & print resources are available. We are also curators of info.
A5: Helping Ts & Ss see that they research ALL THE TIME & it doesn't mean a huge, daunting product has to be created at the end
A5: Too much information causes different problems. We Have to teach how to find resources that are accurate
Just found bc I followed today! How awesome to find a group of my TWEEPS! did you know about this chat? 😳
A5: I find that Ts and Ss don't come to the library because they can just look the info up online.
A5: and we help Ss evaluate info... And possibly connect them to primary sources around the world via
LOVE doing that for website eval. Ss love it and remember it long after. Great lesson.
I love this! I wonder if our tech apps T and Ss could be first?!
some other cute fake sites - fisher price airlines, DHMO (water!), guinea worm...
lol thanks, friend! I love Indy! He is the bomb when it comes to research 🤓
A5: I try to get Ts to act as students and do the research and write the paper for a model so they get practice searching.
So true! And to find the correct resources.
Welcome! We're here ting every 3rd Monday of the month. https://t.co/r6W3kA5RGO
Just found bc I followed today! How awesome to find a group of my TWEEPS! did you know about this chat? 😳
and helping them see diff between a Google search, advanced Google search, Google Scholar search & database searches
Truth on both Stony being the best & that awesome graphic. Perfect.
A5 Also have Ts incorporate solid video sources for citation in a research paper.
Our last question is right around the corner!
Thus, library role is evolving, emergence of https://t.co/sCcDbJ4wCN
A5: I find that Ts and Ss don't come to the library because they can just look the info up online.
oh my goodness, thank you dear friend :-)
Questions need to be more specific since they drive the research. What are students looking for? Where should they look?
I always make friends with early adopters first! *insert evil laugh* :D
Don't forget to join us NEXT MONDAY for TL News Night as we talk Banned Books & Banned Websites https://t.co/3Yw4deBky6
Agreed! I find that I have to get students to really think about what they want to know before they go looking for it.
last question already 😳 this has gone too fast!
WOW! Only 5 minutes left of ! That's crazy!
You're a rock star. indeed
FQ: I taught a 12 hour PD to help Ts build their own skills, knowing there would be transfer
Right - Fingers have been flying tonight!
