Research to learn.(c) From: Jennifer Maurer Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 9:47 AM To: oyan at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: 2013 Letters About Literature Contest Has Begun Letters About Literature is a national reading and writing contest sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Students write letters to an author explaining how that author's book changed their way of thinking about the world or themselves. There are three competition levels: Level I for 4th-6th graders, Level II for 7th-8th graders, and Level III for 9th-10th graders. Oregon's three winners, one from each competition level, will go on to compete nationally. Entry forms and guidelines are now available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx. All entries must be postmarked January 11, 2013. Librarians and teachers can download and print bookmarks and stickers to distribute to students and patrons. Lesson plans and an outline connecting Letters About Literature to Common Core State Standards for English language arts are available online at http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/aboutlit.aspx#Promotional_Material_and_Resources. Last school year, over 800 students in Oregon entered the contest, and 1 in 11 of them received cash prizes or bookstore gift certificates. These prizes are made possible through support from the Oregon Reading Association, Oregon Association of School Libraries, and the Oregon Library Association's Children Services Division and Young Adult network. Please visit the website or contact me for more information.

Hi Everyone, It's time to vote for your favorite (and not-so favorite) teen books of 2012. Below is the link to the Survey Monkey survey. Once again, we are including a "no" vote. If you feel strongly that a certain nominated book does not deserve to be a part of the Book Rave, please vote no. I'll subtract no votes from the yes votes to get a total. As you might have guessed, if you like a title, vote yes. Survey Monkey uses IP addresses to remember votes, you'll be able to add votes as you keep reading nominated titles, as well as see how you've already voted (assuming you always vote from the same computer). You can vote until January 15th. Be prepared to discuss, debate, and shimmy the results at the Winter Membership meeting. Please vote for at least one non-fiction title! Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RFG7D5F I've attached the nominations spreadsheet if you want to review the titles and their tags. Also, here is a link to the OYAN blog for refreshers on book covers and summaries. http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/ Happy Holidays to you and yours...

Ideally, you would have seen this survey in September. But you get to see it in 2013!

You have until January 20th to complete the survey.

Designing a Volunteer Program Focused on Literacy is a one-page memo (more like a research brief) by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. While it is not explicitly about volunteers in libraries, most of the lessons learned and recommendations are things we should be thinking about too. * Are volunteers freeing up the time of highly skilled staff members, allowing [teens to receive literacy support from the most qualified people]? * Are volunteers' interest and skills well-matched with their responsibilities? [Many library volunteers are retired teachers who are also highly skilled to conduct literacy-based programs, are you using them to their full potential? On the other hand, just because someone was a teacher doesn't mean they are trained to host a book club or writing group so what processes do you have in place to evaluate volunteers' skills for matching them with the most appropriate activities?] * Are volunteers' roles explicitly linked in some way to children's literacy learning? [i.e. do volunteers contribute directly to achieving your library's outcomes for teens or do volunteers free up library staff so staff have more time to work on achieving outcomes?] * Are volunteers receiving ongoing support and supervision?

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2437E2CC92@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> You might find some ideas for getting started with this resource: Student-Created Media and the Common Core The new Common Core Standards put an emphasis on the ability of students to "use technology and digital media strategically and capably." In addition to providing an unending source of content to explore, digital media can also provide rich opportunities for students to demonstrate what they've learned. A terrific new online resource, Mapping Media to the Common Core, provides a menu of media options, such as Radio Show, Geo-Map, Interactive Writing, Puppet Video, and more. For each option, you can get a sense of the workflow required to complete the project, a list of tools needed (both free and for purchase), and finished examples of projects real kids have done. (from Reading Rockets) Here is an example of what you'll find: Puppet Video DEFINITION A puppet video is a short skit or story created with virtual or real puppets. WORKFLOW Initial Setup 1. If you're going to use virtual puppets, download a puppet video app. 2. If you're going to use real puppets, you'll need to borrow or purchase finger puppets and setup your recording area. A table with an uncluttered background works well, and a tripod is recommended. You can use an external video camera or a built-in laptop video camera. iPad cameras can work well too. 3. Create an account on a video sharing website where you'll upload and share your videos. Ongoing Use 1. Plan and storyboard your video. Optionally, create a script. 2. Record and export/compress your video. 3. Upload your video to a sharing site. TOOLS Virtual Puppet Apps for iPad 1. Puppet Pals Director's Pass HD ($3, recommended) or Puppet Pals Pocket (free) 2. Sock Puppets (free) Video sharing sites 1. YouTube 2. Vimeo EXAMPLES 1. Santa Goes to Washington DC (Puppet Pals) 2. Envirofest (Puppet Pals) 3. Lessons Learned from GPS (finger puppets) 4. Pray Consistently to God (finger puppets) 5. More on share.playingwithmedia.com MORE READING 1. Lessons Learned Using Puppet Pals on iPads in an After School Program (Jan 2012) 2.

Chicago: ALA, 2013. 006.754 Solom ISBN 978-0838911600 The vast array of social media options present a challenge to today's busy librarians: it's tough to keep current, let alone formulate a plan for using these tools effectively. Solomon, a librarian with extensive experience in web development, design, and technology, cuts to the chase with this invaluable guide to using social media in any kind of library. With a straightforward and pragmatic approach, she enlarges her best-selling ALA Editions Special Report on the topic and * Presents an overview of the social media world, providing context for services like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and analyzes how adults and teens use of social media impacts the library * Offers advice on easy ways to use these tools on a daily basis, with planning strategies for posting and scheduling * Addresses the fine points of Facebook, comparing the various types of profiles and accounts * Guides readers in the basics of crafting eye-catching status updates, and other social media best practices * Shows how to manage and monitor accounts, including pointers on dealing with negative feedback Including a bibliography of additional resources, Solomon's guide will empower libraries to use social media as a powerful tool for marketing, outreach, and advocacy.

I pulled this information from an email blast. Common Core: Moving from Complex to Calm, Cool, & Collected February 4 - March 1, 2013 Cost: Ranges from $75 to $225 (Would your district help cover the expense since it relates to CCSS?); you do not have to be an AASL member to participate. More Information: http://www.ala.org/aasl/learning/eacademy/common-core The Common Core asks teachers to move from rote and recall to rigor and relevance, and the librarian can play a vital role in this paradigm shift. This three module course will help librarians understand how they play a vital role in repackaging content for higher level thought, providing imperative resources for the classroom, and connecting digital citizenship, technology and collaboration into the content. This is a four week, self-guided course.

That's worse than national elections! Have you taken a minute to vote yet? I haven't (note to self). But I will before the 15th! Also, have you already voted but have since finished some Book Rave-nominated titles? You can go back to the same computer where you did you initial Book Rave voting and add votes. Please note that merely nominating a title did not automatically give that title one ?yes? vote. If you nominated a title but have not voted, go to the survey and vote if you are so inclined. Also, remember you can vote ?no? on a title you particularly didn?t care for or think is inappropriate for the Book Rave. It in effect will negate some one else?s ?yes? vote. We?re going cut-throat, people! Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RFG7D5F I?ve attached the nominations spreadsheet if you want to review the titles and their tags. Also, here is a link to the OYAN blog for refreshers on book covers and summaries. http://oyanpeeps.wordpress.com/ You can vote until January 15th. Be prepared to discuss, debate, and shimmy the results at the Winter Membership meeting (January 18, 2011 from 11 a.m. ? 3 p.m. at the Salem Public Library).

There are many websites that can offer assistance, such as an online course on outcomes-based planning and evaluation (OBPE) at www.shapingoutcomes.org. The IMLS website also offers assistance at http://www.imls.gov/research/evaluation_resources.aspx.

(http://www.digitallearningday.org/about-us/) Not interested? Maybe someone else in your library or community is. Please help spread the word. What is Digital Learning? ?Digital learning is any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student's learning experience. Much more than ?online learning,? digital learning encompasses a wide spectrum of tools and practice, digital learning emphasizes high-quality instruction and provides access to challenging content, feedback through formative assessment, opportunities for learning anytime and anywhere, and individualized instruction to ensure all students reach their full potential to succeed in college and a career.? (http://www.digitallearningday.org/learn-and-explore/what-is-digital-learning/) How Can My Library Participate? They want public libraries to participate too! Learn more (http://www.digitallearningday.org/participate/public-libraries/). You can sign up to be a recognized participant (http://www.digitallearningday.org/registration/) or simply plan some activities on your own. (Granted, the activities are ongoing, but schools can plan specific activities for the ?big day.?) There are lots of ideas (http://www.digitallearningday.org/participate/) and resources (http://www.digitallearningday.org/take-action/). For those so inclined, you can share your success stories (http://www.digitallearningday.org/learn-and-explore/share-your-story-form/). Who Sponsors This? The campaign is led by the Alliance for Excellent Education, and there is a long list of national partners including AASL, ISTE, NCTE, NASSP, and NAESP. That sampling encompasses school library staff, instructional technology teachers, English teachers, and principals. Perhaps you can (or are!) collaborate with a group in your school to help stress the importance of digital learning. Digital Town Hall ?Moderated by Leon Harris, award-winning journalist and anchor of ABC7/WJLA-TV (Washington, DC), the Digital Town Hall will demonstrate ?digital learning in action? and feature high-profile leaders from government, education leadership, and leading corporations in front of a Washington DC?based live studio audience. The agenda includes interactive polls, nationally recognized teachers and school leaders, a chat for interaction with digital viewers, and high-profile policymakers demonstrating how digital learning and technology can help transform the nation?s schools.? You must sign up to watch (http://www.digitallearningday.org/news-and-events/events/national-events/). Also, there?s a long list of state events (http://www.digitallearningday.org/news-and-events/events/state-events/).

However, the 30 people in attendance on Saturday had a great time debating the merits of 10 finalists and awarding the Mock Medal to (drumroll, please)... *Code Name Verity *by Elizabeth Wein, (which was given a Printz Honor this morning). Mock Printz Honors were awarded to *The Fault in Our Stars* (which just received the Odyssey Award for audiobooks); *Seraphina* (the Morris Award winner for debut novel) and *Tiger Lily, *which didn't get any recognition by other committees. The suspense is over and it's time to start reading what we all missed, the actual Printz winner, *In Darkness. *I've already placed a hold, how 'bout you? Happy reading!
