    A1: Libraries serve to mentally ground students. The way your thoughts and mind function shift when you enter a library. #IEedchat

    A1- I like the concept of the library as an "Idea Store". People come together to share/trade ideas that are important to them. #ieedchat

    A1b our libraries need to evolve a bit - but part of me will be sad to lose a sanctuary #IEedchat
  • MsVgodinez Mar 27 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1: Libraries hold a special place for a quiet place surrounded by books 📚 even though my research is done on my 💻. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1... I think grade school libraries need to look fwd more, and I still appreciate the nostalgia like: https://t.co/cowMR46zEY #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Mar 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1: Librarians handle various data bases now and every search preso I have been to has been presented by librarians they rock #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Mar 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: Libraries are used for checking out textbooks, and now, just as naturally, for checking out computers. #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Mar 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: a good librarian will teach people vital research skills that will open their world #IEedchat
  • rguztec Mar 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1B:Libraries are a centralized vessel for knowledge within our campuses,even as learning commons Ss are sharing knowledge #IEedchat
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: Study hall, quiet place to work, I also like those which have rooms/spaces which Ss could gather in for learning group #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Mar 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A1b: Quiet place to read and write. I think this model is going to evolve, but I still use my inside voice in the library. #ieedchat
    • ieedchat - Moderator Mar 27 @ 10:39 PM EDT
      Q1b: Aside from reading & research, what traditional roles/tasks do our libraries still fulfill? Is that sufficient? #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    I disagree - I encourage Ss to challenge all information just because it's published in a book doesn't mean accurate #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • DeatraLee_Edu Mar 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A1b: It gives Ss a place to be at peace, a safe haven from any drama that can be taking place elsewhere. #IEedchat

  • ieedchat - Moderator Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    Q2: How can school libraries be used today to meet our students continuing & changing needs? Can libraries push back on fake news? #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1b: The library is one of the last public quiet places. #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    true if it's open and available to Ss during breaks #IEedchat

  • LAValdovinos Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    #IEedchat A1b: There is a difference between silence while at home and silence while in a library. Library silence is still needed for Ss
  • DeatraLee_Edu Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    yes, which it should be. #IEedchat
    In reply to @julie_borgmann
  • Chrisjlara24 Mar 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1b: I remember using my csuf library to do group work and study. Pushing that idea of collaboration is still important #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    A2: need Ss to evaluate sources and fact check better than a politician #IEedchat
  • rguztec Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    A2:They can be forum's of truth to combat real and fake news, they can discuss and exchange ideas. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    This is a rough one. Still a big part of many schools all over. Long road to move toward online #goOpen or otherwise #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    A2 empowering Ss to question and validate sources is a great goal in our Libraries - #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    Libraries to Learning Commons is not replacing one over the other. It makes them more relevant & we will need these spaces more. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Mar 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    .@julie_borgmann True!! I agree, but generally, don't you think that libraries provide a decent way forward for students? #IEedchat

    A2: Libraries should be a place to read but should also be a place for innovation. Part of the library should be a #makerspace #IEedchat
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    I hate to overgeneralize - and I love finding errors in books myself #rebel #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A2: Two questions here. first, libraries need to start including spaces for collaboration that requires more than a whisper #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Mar 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2: we need now more than ever a place that teaches Ss how to spot false info and verify truth. Libraries can serve that end #IEedchat
  • rguztec Mar 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    I agree, specially if we are promoting so much more collaboration. #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    yes! I'm not sure how to engineer it all in one space but should be done #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • AshleyMSJC5 Mar 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2: School libraries aren't there yet, but there is a clear path emerging that they will teach how to discern credible from fake. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2 part 2: Fake News is trendy. Libraries (and Ts, and researchers) need to capitalize on this and build capacity in Ss skills. #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Mar 27 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    A2: they can be another place Ss learn how to comb through sources for credibility as well as give ss a place to expand minds #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Mar 27 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    A2 Libraries can switch their focus from the finding of information to helping students evaluate and apply the information. #ieedchat

    Q2b: What is the most innovative thing going on in YOUR school library? #IEedchat
  • MsVgodinez Mar 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    maybe have the rooms be for quiet places and the library as a whole be a collaboration en ? #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • julie_borgmann Mar 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2b - won't lie - our library could use an infusion of new thinking! #IEedchat
  • LAValdovinos Mar 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    #IEedchat CMI is in the process of updating our library, new paint, shelves, carpet, tables, chairs, books, along with a new computer lab.
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    A2b: still a work in progress, but reshaping a space to be used to S collab, T training, P commuity workshop. #IEedchat #scholarHUB
  • BaynesHeidi Mar 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    Q2b: Makerspaces and a focus on Digital Citizenship #ieedchat
  • jswilliams Mar 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT

  • mark_synnott Mar 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    A2b:Our librarian created a summer reading program that challenges all students to raise their reading levels by the end of summer.#IEedchat

    A3: Libraries are threatened places. People need to be reawakened to the possibilities #IEedchat

    A3 everything must evolve to remain relevant not just libraries but our thinking in general too #IEedchat
  • LAValdovinos Mar 27 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    #IEedchat A3: Libraries need to shift from 80% silent space 20% collaboration/discussion to 20% silent space 80% collaboration/discussion.
  • KathleenDiver Mar 27 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3 Library should be MEDIA centers! Where students can go check out books, but also use devices, check out games, CDs etc #ieedchat
  • rguztec Mar 27 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3:Lib like all things need to adapt and continue progressing or we risk losing such an esteemed place in our search for info #IEedchat

    FT:Braries where a space to search for info, with the internet they need to become a place to discuss and exchange knowledge #IEedchat
  • MathButler Mar 27 @ 10:59 PM EDT
    A3b: Maybe learning commons can be where the students work. The library can be the archive for physical objects worth touching. #IEedchat
