Librarians Enhance Education

How a 21st Century Librarian Enhances Student Learning

Dan Gordon | July 9, 2015


...We talk a lot about the importance of addressing digital literacy, and to me that’s the secret sauce: It’s bringing in today’s world for the student. So, for example, I’m working on bringing makerspaces into our middle and high school libraries and coding in the elementary libraries. We’re using LiveBinders to develop portfolios for our librarian compass rubric, and we’re piloting a fiction e-book project. Anyone can check in and check out a book, but it’s about going a step beyond and bringing a different venue to the students.
