Principals value their librarians. They also want them to be more visible leaders. Those are just two of the interesting findings from a recent survey of 102 media specialists and 67 principals.

The 21st Century Fluency Project’s stance on the importance of information fluency as a skill in the standard digital age survival toolbox applies to students, teachers, and everyday people just like you and me. It focuses on the skills we need by illustrating them in the 5 A’s—Ask, Acquire, Analyze, Apply, and Assess. We’ll use these as a foundation for strategies you can use to find what you’re really looking for in the age of InfoWhelm. Via Karen Bonanno Delete the scoop?

We stand at the crossroads of two futures for Australian children. The first sees them navigating an increasingly interconnected world as savvy consumers and producers of information who are capable of critically assessing what they read, see and hear.

What is the best way to ensure the first scenario? Make sure we have enough teacher librarians in our schools. Via Karen Bonanno Delete the scoop?
