Librarians and media specialists, are you at the American Association of School Librarians (AASL)17th National Conference & Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio this weekend? If so, don't miss Julie Evans's TWO sessions tomorrow, November 6th:

We Got This - Integrating Digital Databases Within Classroom Instruction
11:20am - 12:20pm
Room C216
Julie Evans (Project Tomorrow), Victoria Jones (Westtown School), Elizabeth Cousins (The Shipley School)

Many school leaders report challenges in the integration of digital content within classroom instruction and yet school librarians and libraries are uniquely positioned to address these key challenges.  We will present the results from a study and discuss findings with the librarians from two project high schools.   Audience members will learn key strategies for integrating digital databases within classroom instruction, and how innovative librarianship can enhance both student and teacher outcomes.  Modeling interactive learning, the audience will be polled throughout the session regarding their views on the outcomes using a Jeopardy style game format.  The session supports the AASL strategic plan by demonstrating the relevancy of librarians within digital learning adoptions.

Enabling, empowering and engaging digital learning – the pivotal role of the school librarian in education transformation
4:30pm - 5:30pm
Room C213-214
Julie Evans (Project Tomorrow)

Since 2003, the Speak Up Research Project has polled 4 million K-12 students, educators and parents about their views on digital learning. A key finding from the resulting data has been the increasingly importance of curated digital content and in school mentoring to actualize the promise of technology to transform education. Enter the school librarian. In this interactive session, we will share new Speak Up findings that demonstrate the pivotal role of the school librarian in school and classroom adoption of digital content.
