Curation and the School Librarian
It’s one of AASL’s Shared Foundations in the new National Standards. It’s identified as a leadership area on the Future Ready Librarians Framework. But what does it look like when the school librarian really dives into digital curation? A little while back I had the opportunity to create a video on school librarians and social media curation […]
Listennotes.com: a search engine for podcasts
Listen up, there’s a new search tool in town. Among my friends, at least, it seems that podcasts are a rediscovered treasure. (Check out Jayson DeMers’ Forbes piece, Why Podcasts are Popular, and the 2017 Edison Research Infinite Dial Study on podcast statistics.) The demand is growing, but how do you find podcasts without the effort of subscribing […]
iSL (Internet Second Language) Collective
The Internet Second Language Collective or iSLCollective.com is a fine example of an online community of practice that will be an immediate and indispensable hit with your ESL/ELL and perhaps many other of your classroom teacher partners and coaches. The English section of the site is now well over one million ESL/EFL language teachers strong. The site […]
AASL National Standards: A few essentials to get started!

Grid View in Google Slides (it’s the #littlethings)
Sometimes the little things can make you so happy. Over the past several years I was able to fairly happily migrate most of my presentations from those more robust presentation platforms to Google Slides because it is so darn portable and sharable and because it so encourages collaboration. But there was one feature I really grieved– […]
Can’t Make It to the AASL National Conference? Be a #NOTATAASL Virtual Attendee!
This past summer I could not make it to ISTE. Because of the efforts of the #notatISTE crew, I felt intimately connected to the conference. The same opportunity will be available for AASL National Conference this coming week. (The following post by Jane Lofton is cross-posted from the KnowledgeQuest blog with permission.) From Jane: I feel […]

If you are planning to join our tribe in Phoenix, please consider attending the unConference on Thursday night, November 9th. We’ll be learning together from 9:00 PM till midnight at the Phoenix Convention Center in a kind of meet and greet with our new National Standards. Here’s the official session description: Engage with the new […]
Some secret strategies for serious searchers
I designed and currently teach a course called Search and the Information Landscape. What I love about the course is getting my graduate students to think about their search habits and recognize what works. I also introduce a few classic strategies that have been around in the literature about online searching since the pre-web days. What […]
A custom solution: Creating a Google Custom Search Engine
How do we keep our kids focused in their free Web searches while we ensure their discovery of the stuff we know is worthy of discovering? A Google Custom Search Engine could be the answer. A Google Custom search (or CSE) allows you to guide searchers to the sites you want them to search or […]
