Welcome to the Home/Front Page of my School Librarian's Wiki

The purpose of this wiki is to support students and their parents, and my professional colleagues and international friends 24 hours a day, seven days a week, enroute to becoming a 21st Century Library.

The Vision

My physical Library Media Center/Research Center/Learning Center/Literacy Center, whatever moniker you choose, is the place where:

Authentic learning experiences take place (the junction of critical thinking and organized research and writing occurs);

The foundation of the school's reading program exists through its implementation of engaging reading practices which are transparent to the students (they don't realize they are

doing it through the use of our technologies, social networking, writing, extra-curricular activities, and feeding their personal interests);

and,

The hub of excitement about learning and applying what is learned in a text-rich environment available in various formats which is relevant to today's generation of students' learning

styles and experiences!

This PBWiki affords the use of new internet technologies, social networking, read-write connections, and project collaborating to create new learnings, inspire new thinking, and learn from each unique other person's thoughts, background, experiences, aptitudes, attitudes, learning styles, and multiple intelligences-

Real 21st Century world skills beyond performing on standardized tests.
