Parents input-- What do you think kids need that they're not getting now?

Not inspired or motivated Chance to be creative Fun Access Teach them how to do it--google is not the end all Curriculum cell phone Technology is going to hand held-not brick and mortar Get the library to them Authenticate sources Teachers that know these things and can show them how to put it in the content Etiquite-right from wrong Kids being ahead of the curve-- Difficult for them to find the information-how to use them-databases Make information usable or they won't take the time Parents need to learn along with them Community library working together with kids and parents to learn Dangers of the internet information given out--how about the opposite given out--ways to learn how to use the internet Abstinence vs safe surfing Engagement Kids are doing things without parental permission, use this to teach them, give them tools to use technology Database with experts in community

Ideas:

Website- class webpages, student scribes- rotating scribe duty Physical space- atmosphere, comfort, re-thinking noise levels Technology tools-access to, current, restriction of internet needs to be reviewed Collaboration-communication between teachers, librarians and administrators on a regular basis, communication between teachers and librarians about specific topics students are studying Reading and literacy-reading come alive-celebrate reading, make reading fun, skype, email, facebook with authors, encourage kids to read books that are coming out as a movie, encourage parents to visit the library/public library Student resources-understand exactly how much of a resource the library is to them Community-calling and asking--worst they can say is no Creativity and communication-ask, feature student creativity in the library, Information literacy-be part of all the curriculum, support system for actual classroom Digital & Global citizenship-access to online communities, partner with other schools on projects (book club, penpals, teaching each other specific new skills) Equity & Access-contacting business for grants or permission to "borrow" equipment, donations, teachers/librarians stay in loop on grants Assessment & Integration-
