New AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner

In order to better understand the American Library Association (ALA), American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards for the 21st Century Learner, (the new revision or "evolution" of the Standards for Student Learning in Information Power), I interviewed Dr. Marcia Mardis, a professor at Wayne State University and one of the authors of these new standards.

The Standards for the 21st Century Learner document is available through the ALA website, for convenience I have also linked directly to it here.

You may listen to my interview with Dr. Mardis here.

Web 2.0 and Education

I spoke with Dr. Annette Lamb and media specialists Mike Chmura and Cindy Albarado about Web 2.0 and the implications for education, in particular for teacher librarians.

Dr. Lamb has a webpage called Library Media Specialist 2.0 that she publishes with Larry Johnson, this page is part of their website eduScapes.
