Cloud computing in libraries

 

Makerspace may be a constructivist and constructionist movement that's taking the planet by storm! Imagine that DIY meets education! Makerspace isn't only a hackshop where you'll be able to go learn the way to use an arc welder within the afternoon, but also an academic concept!

Makerspace is over just space, it's thinking which will and may be learned. we've got a student culture of kids who have learned to consume technology; Educational zombies with all their technological skills in running your finger. With the creative space, we will move from consumption to creation! This kind of teaching and learning could be a strong supporter and it's essential for policy makers to grasp how we create frameworks that move from consumption to creation in our academic environment. Makerspace is about "turning knowledge into action" and provides a true opportunity to push personal learning.

The creators' movement is about teaching and learning focused on the question focused on students. This is often not a project administered at the top of the educational unit, but a true means and purpose of learning. Time is required to alter education now than ever before. We face a crisis within the education system and also the global economy, which is feeling the wave effect of this failure. Wagner captured the voice of business leaders describing the necessity for graduates with creativity and innovation skills and also the incontrovertible fact that our academic institutions don't meet this brand.There are basic elements in educating teens to become innovators: the worth of practical projects where students need to solve the important world problem and demonstrate mastery; the importance of learning to draw on academic content from multiple disciplines when solving a problem; learn to figure in teams. This description will be found at the center of the manufacturer's motion manifesto.

The Demise of School Libraries

The Demise of School Libraries by Shannon Rapo The demise of school libraries has been a hot topic in the world of public schools for over a decade. Budget cuts in education have forced many schools to shutter its library or significantly reduce funding. There is also the issue of loss of librarians. According to Keith Curry Lance, a reporter for the School Library Journal, “ Between the 1999–2000 and 2015–16 school years, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that the profession lost the equivalent of more than 10,000 full-time school librarian positions nationwide.”  In her article “Denver Teacher Librarian Brings Students Back to Library”, Kara Yorio showcases a teacher librarian who saw the demise of her library due to lack of focus on reading in the district as well as a complete lack of support from the teachers. The article suggests that if no one is using the library then of course it becomes obsolete. Fortunately, the librarian recognized this and be...

The State of School Libraries --- by Patty Hiebert

  According to the American Association of Libraries (ALA), there is a positive correlation between the number of certified librarians in a school and higher test scores among students, yet we see a trend: fewer librarians, lower funding, and higher students per librarian ratios (ALA, “State of America’s Libraries 2020”). How can schools support student success if libraries are taken out of the equation? Case and point: In California, the 2000-2001 academic school year reported ratios of one librarian to 4,306 students (1:4,306) as compared to 2014-2015 when the number of students per librarian increased to 7,187 – that’s about a 67% increase (“State of America’s Libraries 2020”). Another 2016 report published by PACE (Policy Analysis for California Education) compares California to the U.S. average: California with one librarian to 32,216 student ratio as compared to the U.S average of one librarian to 1,178 students ( edpolicyinca.org ). Funding in California is a complicated ...

The Demise of School Libraries: Creating a Culture of Collaboration by Sara Zeller

The Demise of School Libraries: Creating a Culture of Collaboration By Sara Zeller       If I were to ask any parent, teacher or administrator to advocate for the “why” of a school library I would be inundated with personal stories of the benefits the library provides not only the students but also the teachers.  Depending on the demographics of the neighborhood I might hear of how the availability of the intranet and use of computers in the library is essential to students who don’t have it at home, or I might have, at least before COVID-19 shut schools down and demanded the distribution and purchase of technology to all students who didn’t have access. For the remainder of this blog post I am going to do my best to reference a pre-COVID school experience based on available articles and data, but I will not ignore that the push to help all students get access to the internet and have working laptops or Ipad’s could change the needs landscape yet again of t...
