On December 12, 2019 Future Ready Librarians’ Shannon McClintock Miller held its last webinar of the year. She invited a few special guests to share favorite books, authors, technology, trends, ideas, advocacy tips, and other top things that have been happening in the library and within education in 2019. They examined our framework as Future Ready Librarians, they tied this essential work into the wedges of curation, empowered students as creators, literacy, equitable digital access and more.
As they got ready for the holiday break, they also shared ways to keep students engaged and learning with resources and ideas to take back to your communities.
Here are a few questions they pondered:
- What is the “hot” new technology you are using this year with your students in the library?
- What are the books (titles) that you just can’t keep on the shelf?
- What is it that your teachers have been coming to you with this year?
- What do you see as BIG things that are coming?
- What resources and programs do you share with your students as we go into the holiday and a new year? How do you keep connected?
