I just received the following announcement of upcoming webinars in August through November. These webinars are a great professional development opportunity for children's library staff who don't have a lot of time or resources. The webinars are one or two hour interactive online sessions that you take participate in at your desk which means no additional time or money is required for traveling. Sessions are $55 per person or $195 for groups. If you can't make the live session, a few webinars are archived so you can watch them whenever works for you and available to purchase for $25. The down side is that archived webinars aren't interactive so you can't ask questions of the presenter or 'talk' with fellow participants, the plus side is that you can still learn great information on your own schedule.

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2431472A62@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> I finally got around to reading the joint position statement on Technology and Interactive Media as Tools in Early Childhood Programs of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at Saint Vincent College that was adopted in January 2012. I found the references to the research, the information provided, and the recommendations given so good that I highly recommend reading it in full and not just skimming it because you may miss important qualifiers, advice, or warnings. If you have questions or concerns about media literacy, the 15-30 minutes you take to read this will be time well spent. If you are looking for one-stop-shopping information about media literacy, this is the best thing I've found so far. There is so much worthwhile in this position statement that it's very difficult to pull out just a few quote to reflect the entire scope of the information, but I'll try anyway. * Children's experiences with technology and interactive media are increasingly part of the context of their lives, which must be considered as part of the developmentally appropriate framework. * Access to technology tools and interactive media should not exclude, diminish, or interfere with children's healthy communication, social interactions, play, and other developmentally appropriate activities with peers, family members, and teachers. * Effective technology tools connect on-screen and off-screen activities with an emphasis on co-viewing and co-participation between adults and children and children and their peers. * Each unique screen demands its own criteria for best usage. * For infants and toddlers, responsive interactions between adults and children are essential to early brain development and to cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and linguistic development... Recognizing that, there may be appropriate uses of technology for infants and toddlers in some context (for example, viewing digital photos, participating in Skype interactions with loved ones, co-viewing ebooks, and engaging with some interactive apps), educators should limit the amount of screen time and, as with all other experiences and activities with infants and toddlers, ensure that any use of technology and media serves as a way to strengthen adult-child relationships. * [when selecting technology and interactive media give]... careful attention to the appropriateness and the quality of the content, the children's experiences, and the opportunities for co-engagement. (i.e The Three Cs!) Hopefully you will find this as valuable as I have. If you don't, please share the media literacy article, research, or resource you find to be most valuable in your work. We all still have much to learn!

The state library in Virginia is making several of their online courses available to folks nationwide. Below are the descriptions and links you need to learn about and register for the courses. The first three look great if you have been looking for training in the Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition early literacy curriculum, if you weren't able to participate in Reading for Healthy Families or if you just want a refresher because you haven't used the curriculum in a while. The courses cost $25 or $50 which is a steal considering no travel is involved and that these are courses that last 4-5 weeks rather than a one day/one time training. If you have any questions, please contact my counterpart in Virginia: Enid Costley Children's and Youth Services Consultant 804.692.3765 enid.costley at lva.virginia.gov Last time Virginia made their online courses available nationwide they filled up very fast.

The first three segments will probably air the first week of June, July, and August (no set dates yet) and the last segment will air later in September so we can announce the winners of the sweepstakes on TV. * KATU will have a summer reading sweepstakes banner on their website that, when site visitors click on it, takes people to a "landing page" with information about the sweepstakes, directs folks to go to their libraries to participate in summer reading and enter the sweepstakes, and provides suggested reading lists. * The State Library logo and the OLA logo will be on the KATU "landing page" just like they already are on the sweepstakes posters, flyers, entry forms, and bookmarks. SUMMER READING CERTIFICATES ARE COMING SOON The 2012 Oregon Summer Reading Certificates are at the printers! Ferol Weyand, the Library Development Assistant, will start shipping them out as soon as they arrive at the State Library. We are hoping to get them shipped to you by the first week of June. Questions? Contact Ferol at 503-378-2525 or ferol.weyand at state.or.us. The State Library is in the midst of changing content management systems for our website so I am not sure when I will be able to post the digital copies of the certificates online for you to print on demand. I will announce when they are available online via this listserv-hopefully the first week of June too! STATISTICS TO COLLECT FOR THIS SUMMER Many of you requested that I send out a reminder about what statistics you will be asked to report on the 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey so you can be sure you're collecting the right data this summer. The 2012 summer reading statistics and ordering survey will be conducted during September 2012 and compiled into the 3rd Annual Summer Reading Brief. The link to the survey will be emailed out in September on the Ready to Read listserv to ensure that library directors are kept informed and that only one person fills out the survey per library. OLA's Young Adults Network (OYAN) will conduct a different survey in the fall that all library staff can take to share their feedback on the 2012 summer reading program and make suggestions for upcoming programs. Below are the summer reading statistics your library will be asked to report this Fall. Keep in mind that Oregon libraries are at liberty to implement the statewide summer reading program in whatever way works best for their communities therefore libraries may not track all of these statistics-that's okay, you don't have to report something you don't track. Please let me know if you have any questions. Do children and teens have to sign-up (or register) to participate in your summer reading program? If yes, then: * How many children and teens total signed up? * If you track children and teens separately, how many CHILDREN signed-up? * If you track children and teens separately, how many TEENS signed-up? Do children and teens participating in your summer reading program fill out a reading record (reading log, game board, etc.) to track how much they read/listen to books over the summer? If yes, then: * How many children and teens turned in completed reading records (i.e. how many finishers did you have)? * If children and teens reported the amount of time they spent reading on their reading records, how many HOURS did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 10 hours to complete a reading record and your library received 78 completed reading records, then you would enter '780' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 780 hours over the summer.) * If children and teens reported the number of pages they read on their reading records, how many PAGES did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 100 pages to complete a reading record and your library received 52 completed reading records, then you would enter '5,200' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 5,200 pages over the summer.) * If children and teens reported the number of books they read on their reading records, how many BOOKS did they read? (For example: If kids had to read 5 books to complete a reading record and your library received 100 completed reading records, then you would enter '500' as your answer to this question. You can report to your stakeholders that kids at your library read 500 books over the summer.) * If children and teens didn't report amount of time spent reading, number of pages read, or number of books read on their reading records; how did they track their reading over the summer? How many CHILDREN'S summer reading programs/activities/events did you offer? How many people attended summer reading programs/activities/events targeting CHILDREN? How many TEEN summer reading programs/activities/events did you offer? How many people attended summer reading programs/activities/events targeting TEENS? Did your library have an adult summer reading program? If yes, then: * How many adults participated? * How did you track participation? Only include programs if they are an integral part of your summer reading program. For example, story times: Do track story times at which the books and activities are tied to the summer reading theme and/or kids can count story time on their reading records. This type of story time is integral to your summer reading program! Do NOT track story times at which the books and activities are NOT tied to the summer reading theme and kid cannot count story time on their reading records. This story time is not part of your summer reading program; it is just a continuation of the story time program your library provides year-round. This type of program is still very important and you will have an opportunity to report it when your library director submits your Public Library Statistics.

Play games like Simon Says, Red Light/Green Light, and clapping and signing games which require kids to pay attention and focus, follow instructions/rules/the leader, and exhibit self-control. ? Change rules or add new components to games develops mental flexibility and requires increased concentration and memory skills?examples include having kids touch the opposite body part than what is being sung during Head and Shoulders (touch your nose when you sing the word ?toes?), switching green to stop and red to go in Red Light/Green Light. ?

Definitely one to add to my repertoire, as well! Another one that?s great for cumulative participation is Rattlin? Bog. I don?t follow the traditional words, but ask the kids to tell me what is in the tree. I do have to guide the younger ones away from the usual nest with a bird with an egg, etc. So I give them examples of outrageous objects and animals, and off we go. Sometimes I tell them everything has to begin with a certain letter, or only be animals of the night (for this summer), or words that rhyme with cat, or things that are yellow, or whatever you need for the event. It?s great fun?.especially with a wee bit of the Irish brogue on your tongue! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnv9GB8xvrw From: kids-lib-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:kids-lib-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Rick Samuelson Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 4:15 PM To: Korie Jones Buerkle; Katie Anderson; (kids-lib at listsmart.osl.state.or.us) Subject: Re: [kids-lib] In the News: Simon Says Don?t Use Flashcards (games you can play with kids to increase executive functioning) I absolutely love cumulative songs for building memory power!

Not a Potter fan, you may be interested to know that they will likely have a "Lit Track" of other authors. The 2013 authors have not been announced yet, but here is the list of authors who were at Leaky Con 2012 to give you an idea of the caliber of authors involved: * Holly Black * John Green * Lev Grossman * Maureen Johnson * Stephanie Perkins * Margaret Stohl * Laini Taylor * Robin Wasserman * Jennifer Laughran * Rebecca Sherman * Kate Schafer Testerman The Leaky Con website has completely transitioned to the 2013 conference, but here is a decent recap of the 2012 conference to give you a better idea what it may be all about: http://www.chicagonow.com/geek-girl-chicago/2012/08/leaky-con-2012-recap-harry-potter-and-the-windy-city/#image/1.

Jan arrives in a 45-foot bus, wrapped with illustrations from her latest book, Mossy. There will be appearances from a costumed Hedgie, a talk from Jan while she draws from Mossy, and book sales and autographing. Free tickets will be available at all Deschutes Public Libraries, beginning on October 12, with a maximum of 5 per family. It is my understanding she will also be presenting in Corvallis later that afternoon.
