As Brother McIntyre began the first of six messages to the Library Media workers from churches in the convention, he presented a fascinating devotion on our "hands." The world is fascinated with hands from the hands of chubby babies, to the hands of surgeons, to the hands of musicians, to the hands of laborers, to the hands gifted in sign language, to the hands in prayer. The hands of Jesus are the most expressive and wonderful hands we can know. From his hands in the manger, to his hands as a carpenter, to the hands that pulled the sinking Peter from the rolling waves, and finally to the nail pierced hands of the crucifixion and resurrection. These are the that hands that wiped away the sins of the world for those who accept Him and now the hands that intercede to the Father for us. And now we thank the Lord for the hands of the library/media workers here this day who handle thousands of books and materials and perform ministry to every person in their congregation. For them we are thankful.

March 3, 2021 75 Minutes Dave Lankes & Mike Eisenberg It pretty much happened overnight: schools are closed, kids are home, teaching and learning are online, parents are responsible for coordinating it all. While every aspect of life has been affected by the pandemic, no sector has been more quickly and more significantly by the pandemic than education – on all levels. The most direct impact is on students, parents, and teachers, but it really affects everyone. In this episode, we try to get a handle on what's going on and what it means—immediate, short-, and long-term. We do so by speaking with someone who has perspectives on the details but also the big picture, pre-K to 12 and beyond: Colet Bartow, Teaching and Learning Senior Manager, Montana Office of Public Instruction. Colet is an accomplished teacher, education & technology innovator, and advocate for libraries, information technology, curriculum improvement, and information literacy in learning and teaching. Listen in on this far-reaching discussion of the challenges and opportunities in our new normal world.References & Resources Wazzup?Weber, Paul J.; Stengle, Jamie (March 26, 2021).

Today being stuck at home, not being able to socialize in a regular manor, so many are feeling the overwhelm of being everything to everyone. Sue TK shares how to tap into the power of HELP through a series of questions that remind all of us how important it is to seek out the help of others when we feel alone. The John Donne quote “No man is an island,” impacts all of us as we try to be strong in the face of making changes in our lives. After teaching English and Library Media for 34 years in Minnesota, Sue and her husband Tom retired to a small town on the Gulf Coast in Florida.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar, "News Media" with special guest presenter Tiffany Whitehead. November 11, 2017 We are thrilled to welcome Tiffany Whitehead, librarian extraordinaire, as our special guest presenter to share her insights and resources on helping students understand news literacy! Librarians play such an important role as the educational hub in our schools and there is so much we can learn from them. This is perfect timing as we celebrate Media Literacy week, Nov. 6-10, 2017. Media Literacy is the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, COMMUNICATE and CREATE using all forms of communication. The mission of Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education today. Webinar Description: News Literacy: Teaching students to be discerning in a world of fake news, clickbait, and extreme bias Teaching news literacy is more necessary and challenging than ever in a world where news is delivered at a constant pace from a broad range of sources. Since social media and filter bubbles can make it challenging to access unbiased, factual information, we must equip students to be critical as they access news sources for a variety of purposes. This lecture-style session will give an overview of the phenomenon of fake news going viral and tools educators can use to help students develop news literacy skills. Tiffany Whitehead, aka the Mighty Little Librarian, is an obsessive reader, social media user, and technology geek. She is the Director of Library at Episcopal School of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Tiff earned her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and School Library Certification from Southeastern Louisiana University and her graduate degree in Educational Technology Leadership from Northwestern State University. She has served as the President for ISTE’s Librarians Network and was recognized as one of ISTE’s 2014 Emerging Leaders. Tiffany is National Board Certified in Library Media and was named one of the 2014 Library Journal Movers & Shakers. She was the 2016 recipient of the Louisiana Library Media Specialist Award.

If journalism is the first draft of history, the people reporting the news are often on the frontline of conflict, disaster and tragedy. Journalists, photographers, artists, camera operators and fixers are our eyes and ears in dangerous parts of the world. As part the #30DaysPF campaign, our panel explores the risks – physical, psychological, political - for foreign correspondents and the local fixers who work with them. As international bureaux are increasingly depleted and more foreign correspondence falls to freelancers, what measures are in place to protect and support them, particularly as journalists become high profile targets in terror campaigns? Hear from industry greats as they discuss the whole process from landing in a war zone, publishing their stories and then returning home. With Brian Thomson, SBS, Peter Stefanovic, Nine Network, Yaara Bou Melhem, independent broadcast journalist, Cait McMahon, DART Center for Journalism and Trauma, and moderated by Eric Campbell, ABC.

Open Learning: With incorporating the skills of a 21st Century Library and the activation of Social Media, armed with a collection of students wanting to make changes, project-based learning can soar above all expectations. By initiating a school-wide project through the magazine Repentino., students begin to use the tools of 21st Century Literacies to communicate with the worlds outside of their own country as well as within. Through the power of showing that art is not ornamental, but fundamental to project-basedlearning, providing an arena for learning through the internet as well as in the real world, and implementing 21st Century skills as problem solving, creativity, analytical thinking, collaboration, communication, ethics, action, and accountability, these students show that the sky is the limit with the correct approach to education.
