In school construction, Student Learning Centers are a hot topic.  What is a Student Learning Center?  How is it beneficial for your students?  This site can help school leaders create student learning centers that will be useful in planning and construction.

Samantha Burton's curator insight, October 25, 2013 6:02 AM

Teachers connect with students everyday. We can choose the quality of those connections and look for those incidental teaching " moments" to build positive relationships with students.

School libraries: A shift to digital

From www.eschoolnews.com - September 4, 2013 10:18 PM
School libraries are making a noticeable shift toward digital collections in an effort to keep up with 21st century student collaboration.
more...
Patricia Cruz's curator insight, September 16, 2023 5:07 PM
Education in every aspect is now offering technological or digital resources. We have seen the growth of resources since the pandemic. In order for children to get the maximum experience teachers and librarians must work together and create successful collaborative relationships. I was one of those students who was able to use an encyclopedia back in the day. Sometimes I have mixed thoughts on if I should actually have the physical books in my possession for the “What-ifs”. I am aware that you can do the same with digital books as you can with physical copies, but for some reason I like physical books better.

Note the primary need for librarians as educators, educational leaders, developers of curriculum, and information managers continue.
