Library+and+Technology

** stepping up to fight for student rights in regard to filtering **
== ** [|Corkboard] is like [|Wallwisher] to post ideas ** ==

** is your website inviting participaton? **
== ** be aware of signage and watch for overuse of “do not”--Starbuck’s and Barnes and Noble do not have signs that say “do not” ** ==

** librarians must be involved in the filtering committee **
== ** use your district and campus mission statement as your support in getting things changed--global learners need what the library has to offer ** == == ** [|Titanpad] or [|Etherpad] --both are on-the-spot collaborative writing spaces ** ==

** link on the blog to see the record of the discussions using titanpad **
== ** physical spaces--frame in an area as a deck big enough for a class; bring outside spaces in; make it a place to eat and study ** ==

** Web 2.0 display table--leave it empty; let students add the books to it **
== ** virtual spaces--access 24/7; smart phone apps on the website; databases have apps for smart phones ** ==

** teach digital media literacy to aid filtering without being excessive **
== ** due to budget cuts, a positive may be that personal devices may be more welcome at school ** == == ** be sure there is a way for students to drop off questions on the website and be prepared to look at it after hours ** ==

** erate requires filtering **
== ** basically they’re not trying to filter; they’re trying not to get in trouble ** == == ** read CEPA to see what it says about filtering--too easy to blame this document ** == == ** filtering advisory committee--highly recommended--design a policy and procedures ** ==

** wiki gives you a more flexible space than just a library website **
== ** ereaders--Kindle has a closed platform; Nook has a more open platform; iPad is completely different due to internet access ** == == ** [|Buffy Hamilton’s website] about ebooks, policies, permission slips, etc.--read this ** == == ** graphing calculators cost more than a Kindle--so consider this perspective when thinking about circulating Kindles or Nooks ** ==
