I mentioned earlier that I was in Anaheim for ALA. That was back at the end of June, and now it's mid-July--it's been a busy month so far!
For those who asked why I wasn't recapping ALA (coughericcough), here's a very brief recap of what I did at ALA.
I worked with the EBSS Teacher Education Committee on their in-process information literacy standards for Teacher Ed. This Committee is doing amazing work, and I am excited to be a part of the process.
I shared a brief white paper recommending that the ACRL Information Literacy standards (if revised, which I sure hope they will be) link sequentially with relevant K-12 information literacy standards, including the AASL Learning Standards and ISTE NETS-S. (If you'd like to see the white paper, just let me know. It's still in process, and I'd love feedback.)
I attended Anne and Beth (and Emily, in absentia)'s discussion group on Information Literacy and the Social Web. They did a great job with a fascinating topic. Lots of people were interested in talking about the social web---over 150 in attendance!
And I ate at a lot of bad places and made my annual pilgrimage to see Harriet Ziefert, author of 1001 children's books, of course!
