This document provides an overview of how a school librarian can help students and teachers during their first year and beyond. It discusses information literacy standards, collaborating on projects and lessons, supporting classroom instruction with library materials, and integrating technology. The librarian can also assist teachers by keeping them informed of topics being taught, providing resources for parents, and notifying the librarian of major projects. Teachers can help the librarian by supporting library programs. Important library resources like the SCASL book award list are also highlighted. The document concludes by discussing ways to build a professional learning network through face-to-face interactions, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and other online tools.

Social media used in school libraries has become an essential tool that library practitioners increasingly use. These powerful online publications can help connect students, teachers, parents and the community to events that take place within the library. Social media is not only a promotional tool, but a means of engaging stakeholders and forging new partnerships. Join school librarian K.C. Boyd as she shares ways that librarians can use social media for branding, digital outreach, and instruction.

Title: Java at Scale - What Works and What Doesn't Work Nearly so Well
Speaker: Matt Schuetze, Product Manager, Azul Systems
Abstract: Java gets used everywhere and for everything due to its efficiency, portability, the productivity it offers developers, and the platform it provides for application frameworks and non-Java languages. But all is not perfect; developers both benefit from and struggle against Java's greatest strength: its memory management. In this session, Matt will describe where Java needs help, the challenges it presents developers who need to provide reliable performance, the reasons those challenges exist, and how developers have traditionally worked around them. He will then discuss where Zing fits in the spectrum of use cases where large memory and predictable performance dominate essential application characteristics.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

When you think of the librarian you probably conjure up images of old ladies with buns, bifocals and pursed lips shushing everyone that dares enter. This image no longer applies.
Our mission focuses on two topics: teaching information literacy and promoting reading. We do have books, but we also offer multimedia resources like DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks, online databases, and hardware like Flip cameras, Senteo clickers, e-readers, document cameras and more depending on the school.
Keith Curry Lance, an educational researcher who has conducted studies in 8 states found that students at schools with good libraries consistently scored from 10 to 20 percent higher on reading and other achievement tests REGARDLESS of the economic and educational levels of the community.
The reason I wanted to be here today was to let you know the many ways that your librarians can help you during your first year and beyond. We WANT to collaborate with you. Librarians have a set of standards we are responsible for teaching. When we can tie them in with your curriculum standards it is more meaningful to the students.We can provide you with magazines, online articles, books, professional journals, pathfinders, and online databases that support the topics you teach. We have professional resources like journals, magazines and books about education.We have online and print resources for parents to use.We can help you plan and implement projects that involve technology. We can assist with getting the tools as well as helping you and your students use them.
Let us know what you are covering or update your website so that we can tie in our lessons and displays to correspond with your standardsIf you have a big project planned let us know as early as possible. We may need to order more books or we can pull the books and be ready for the students to hit the ground running.If we plan a big reading event or book fair or any program be positive and provide your moral support. Students follow your lead.As you plan keep us in mind so that we can assist your instruction as much as possible.
