Cool Connections in October 2016

We have made several exciting connections via Skype during the fall of 2016. I want to share about three connections we have made in the last few weeks. These are all special to me for different reasons, and I will share about the significance of each. What is amazing about each of these events is that they wouldn't have happened if not for the magic of social media. If you are not a connected educator, I hope these stories will convince you to start connecting (for your growth and for your learning community).

Connecting With Shannon Miller

I have previously shared that Shannon McClintock Miller inspired me to create this blog and to become a connected teacher librarian. I heard her speak at the Arkansas Association of Instructional Media Conference in 2014. Since taking up these practices that year (and learning more about Twitter through our assistant principal, Mathew Thornton), my professional life has forever changed. I've been blessed with thousands of new educator friends that have helped me improve for the students and teachers I serve.

I'm a firm believer in telling people when they inspire me. I have wanted to tell Shannon how she impacted me since 2014, but didn't have the opportunity until this year. A few weeks ago, Lynn Kleinmeyer, my teacher librarian friend from Nebraska told me she was going to arrange for me to meet Shannon via Facetime. It just so happened that Shannon was speaking at a library conference in Nebraska, and Lynn knows her! When Lynn told me this news, I was so excited that this might happen! I knew I wouldn't have long to visit with Shannon, and I started thinking through what I would share.

It was fun to visit with Shannon!

Lynn connected us on the evening of October 20th. It was so great to meet her and share the impact her "Be the Change" session had on me. It was important to me to share this because without that inspiration, I might have never connected with Lynn Kleinmeyer, Elizabeth Hutchinson, Tracey Wong,  Joyce Valenza, Jennifer LaGarde, Nikki D Robertson, Tiffany Whitehead, Richard Snyder, Karey Killian and so many other important people on my journey to learn more. I challenge you to tell the people that inspire you that they make a difference. It is a fulfilling experience. If we don't tell them, they may never know.

Connecting With Kimee Clift 

Kaitlyn shares with Kimee via Skype.

I was so excited to get a Facebook message from Kimee Clift a few weeks ago. Kimee is a K-12 teacher librarian at Sparkman Public Schools in Sparkman, Arkansas. She asked me about high school library programming to generate interest for her older learners. I asked her if she would like to Skype with Kaitlyn Price (the teacher librarian with me at Lakeside High School) and me to visit face to face for a brainstorming session. It was fun for both of us to tell Kimee about our makerspaces and other programming. Kaitlyn suggested we have a Mystery Skype with one of our social studies classes. It was a brilliant idea since our own Coach April Lawson has been looking for a class to connect with.

We connected for our first Mystery Skype with Kimee's students on Friday, October 28th. It was so exciting to see both groups of students engaged as they tried to determine their opponent's location. Afterwards, the students just visited and compared life at each school. Kimee and I would have probably never pulled this off if not for social media. The best takeaway of all is that we got to see Kimee "be the change" for her learners. The Tweet she sent after the session says it all:

Kimee's reflection after her first Mystery Skype:

"The kids absolutely loved it. They loved being able to connect with other students their age and trying to figure out where they were from. They were begging to do it again. I am excited about the connections I have made through Skype and all the possibilities it holds for myself and the students. I want them to be empowered and realize there is a whole world of learning available to them outside the normal classroom."

Coach Lawson's learners were so engaged during our Mystery Skype!

I can't wait to see what happens next for Kimee and her learning community!

A Conference Presentation Via Skype

Laura and I visited via Skype prior to their session.

Earlier this year I connected with new North Carolina TL friends, Laura Long and Edie Crook. They asked me to make a short video sharing about how being a connected educator has changed me. Recently, Laura asked me to co-present a Saturday session with both of them via Skype at the North Carolina School Library Media Association Conference. I love telling about being a connected educator, so I jumped at the chance. Laura and I connected the day before to compare notes and visit. I was able to introduce her to several of our high school students during lunch.

On the day of the event, I connected my Microsoft Surface sound through our home stereo system and the video through our television. It was like I was at the session with Laura and Edie. It was very inspiring to learn about the things they are both doing in North Carolina. It is a day I will never forget! The connection with Laura and Edie would have never happened if I had never heard Shannon Miller speak and put those practices into action.

Laura and Edie, my new friends in North Carolina!

We can connect anywhere via Skype. These are the session attendees!

Concluding Thoughts

So in some ways, things have come full circle. I realize, now, that none of this is about us individually. It is about us connecting together and helping one another be better for our learning communities. It is about inspiring each other with our library learning stories. It is about "becoming the change" in our schools and personal learning networks. It is an exciting time to be an educator!

Our First Skype Session With South Africa!

Twitter never ceases to amaze me. In August, my wife and I were enjoying a Saturday clothes shopping trip. I remember we were in JCPenney picking out our new school clothes. (This is an annual pilgrimage for us every August.) At some point during that shopping session, I received a Tweet from Leigh Morris. As I recall, she was asking me about Breakout EDU. When I looked at her Twitter profile and realized she was a teacher in Cape Town, South Africa, I immediately followed her and told her I would love to connect our learning communities together this year. It was a delightful visit via my iPhone Twitter app as I followed my wife around the store. It was easy to tell that Leigh was a passionate teacher, and I was so glad she reached out to me! These are the motivated educators I consistently encounter on Twitter.



Skype Antics

If you have been watching this blog and my social media, you know I love connecting our students and teachers via Skype. Recently, we have been experimenting with Skype Translator using Spanish and Italian. I enjoy opening up our learners' minds to the enormous world waiting for them! There is so much to learn, and Skype connects us to new places and new friends.

Caroline's Request

About two weeks ago, Caroline and one of her friends, both sophomores at LHS, came to me asking if I could help them connect with pen pals in another country. They were working on an EAST project, and the first step was to begin establishing pen pals in distant locations. The fact that their teacher sent them to me for this assistance made me very happy. This shows that some of our faculty know about my Skype library sessions and/ or Twitter personal learning network (PLN). I want to be known as a connector in the building!

During our conversation, I immediately thought of my recent friend in South Africa, Leigh. I sent her a message asking about the possibility of student pen pal connections. She was all for it and within the following week our students were exchanging emails with her students! I offered for them to Skype in the library (if they could work out the time differences since South Africa is 7 hours ahead of us).

The Skype Session

Caroline finally came to me one day to set up a Skype time. We agreed on an open time in the library (I wanted to make sure we could have this session in the library), and she coordinated with her new friend (Megan) in South Africa. The day arrived, and we attempted connecting with Megan. The tries were unsuccessful at first. We continued sending Megan emails to troubleshoot the process. Then Megan's first Skype call to us came through. Caroline answered the call, and the two connected face to face for the first time. From my perspective, it was as if the two had known each other previously. Caroline and Megan talked about similarities and differences of our school cultures during the session. It was wonderful to hear Megan's unique accent, and I am sure it was good for her to hear Caroline's as well. It was a short and meaningful conversation.  I can't wait to see what these two international friends do over the course of the school year. Be sure to watch the video (located below) of their first contact.

Caroline's Reflection

"It was really cool talking to Megan, I learned stuff I never had before. I was also surprised about how similar we both were. She and I had been talking 2 to 3 weeks before we Skyped, we have sent around 30 emails back and forth to each other just talking. It was really exciting to talk to her. It felt like we had known each other for a long time, it wasn't awkward at all."

Next Steps

I look forward to their future connections. Also, Caroline's classmate will be arranging a Skype session with her pen pal in South Africa very soon. Perhaps, we can have them share about their connections and forthcoming EAST project on a future blog article.

For me, this was a very powerful moment. I never stepped in to introduce myself because it wasn't about me. It was about two students in different places meeting each other for the first time. I merely helped Caroline connect with Megan using the technology in the library (and using my Twitter PLN). I want to do more of this when possible. It is important to allow students to take charge when appropriate. This is how they learn to be leaders! I have also learned how valuable a global PLN can be. Since I had connected with Leigh via Twitter, this was an easy task.

It is so good that this event happened in the school library. Think about how Caroline views the high school library at Lakeside. Hopefully, she and her friends will see it as a place to make endless connections with information, technology, and people. These adventures are only just beginning!

This is how we used Twitter and Skype to connect to a teenage inventor in Tennessee!

Testimony of a Connected Teacher Librarian

This week I was contacted by a new Twitter friend in North Carolina. Teacher librarian, Laura Long, messaged me asking if I could create a short testimony video describing my journey as a connected educator. She and her colleague wanted it to use in a county teacher professional development session. I was honored by this request and anxiously accepted!

She only wanted me to make the video 1-2 minutes. I found this to be extremely challenging given how passionate I am about this topic! The process of making an outline for the video made me reflect back on the benefits of being connected to so many other educators via social media since 2014. I'll share the highlights of my experience so far.

You can view the video I created for Laura above.

I. Twitter Education Chats

When I discovered that thousands of educators and administrators were getting together on Twitter every night (and day) of the week to have conversations, my whole world changed. I started following and learning from some of the most influential educators around the country each week. My personal learning network (PLN) began to grow quickly through this process. At first it was mainly educators in the United States, but now I'm seeing an increase in international educator friends. I wrote a blog article in 2015 explaining Twitter chats, and its nearly time to write an updated version!

II. New Techniques

Twitter chats have revealed new activities in education like Mystery Skype and Breakout EDU, I've also learned about how to use the Minecraft game in school and information about numerous professional education books. By following the hashtags of national conferences, a person can watch what is happening during keynotes and breakout sessions (through individual comments, photos, and sometimes video clips). Last summer I remember watching a session live from a national conference. While this doesn't replace being there in person, it is still exciting that we can somewhat experience the conference from afar.


III. New Connections for our Learning Community

Through connections on Twitter, we were able to connect our teachers and students to new places this past school year. As my PLN grows, so do the possibilities for new locations for connections. My hope is that we will eventually have schools on every continent in which to collaborate. Our students and teachers love connecting, and this year I hope to get even more teachers to participate. Check out my blog post that focused on the many connections we made in the library during 2015-2016.

IV. Blogging

Blogging has been a great reflective practice for me since 2014. It is time consuming, but I look forward to writing each week. It has been such a positive experience to tell our library stories and share the things I learn. Most importantly, I have enjoyed showcasing our learners whenever possible. Blogging has created some opportunities for me to publish and guest author for other blogs. I wish that I would have started this practice earlier in my career. This blog post makes the 100th on Library Media Tech Talk. There is still much to learn and share. I've only just started this journey!

Conclusion

I want to thank my North Carolina teacher librarian friends, Laura Long and Edie Crook, for asking me to create my video testimonial. It was good for me to think about how being connected has changed me as an educator. Truly, this is only the beginning of the journey. I know that this year will provide more new friends that will help me improve my practice as a school librarian and technology specialist. I encourage you to create a similar testimonial to share with colleagues who are not connected.

Takeaways from the ArASL 2016 Conference

I love attending conferences and professional development during the summer months since they really get me thinking about the upcoming school year. My wife Cindy and I just attended the Arkansas Association of School Librarians (ArASL) conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. It's also great to see librarian friends from around the state at these events. Reconnecting with old friends and making new friends are key at every conference.

I have noticed that there always seem to be a few big takeaways from all conference sessions. I want to share a few of these points with you because they are important. First, I was thrilled to meet our keynote speaker, Nikki D. Robertson, at this conference. I've been following Nikki for quite a while on social media. As I recall, I first connected with her during a #TLChat session on Twitter months ago. I have enjoyed learning from Nikki through her blog, #TLChat, TL News Night, and TL Virtual Cafe.

The Importance of a PLN

A few weeks ago, I talked about the power of meeting my PLN (personal learning network) this summer while attending the Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert US Forum in Denver, Colorado. I wondered what it would be like to meet Nikki since we had only communicated through social media. It was exactly like the experience I had in Colorado and Nebraska this summer; it felt as if I had connected with a friend I had previously met face to face.

I have got to start using Snapchat!

I am grateful for this meeting! Nikki emphasized the importance of building our individual PLNs. Most school librarians work without the companionship of other librarians in their buildings. A PLN can be that network that "has our backs". Currently, I have over 4000 professionals in my Twitter PLN. To me, the number of followers a person has doesn't really matter. It's the growth of an individual PLN that is crucial. We should strive to connect with as many passionate educators as possible. I never thought that having a rapidly growing network was within reach; but if it can happen for me, it can also happen for you! These talented educators inspire me weekly, especially during Twitter education chats. If you don't know how to start a PLN through education chats on Twitter, check out this article.

Share Shamelessly

Nikki talked about many other important topics for school librarians during her sessions over the two-day conference. She talked about "Sharing Shamelessly". All too often, we tend to think that what we have to say is not important. I can't help but wonder how many wonderful ideas have gone with people to their grave because they sold themselves short for a lifetime. Perhaps, we should take risks and put our best ideas and thoughts out there. If we don't tell our stories from the library to others, how will they know what we are doing? Furthermore, how will they know our journey of learning and development as educators? Nikki is right, we must share what we are doing in the library to show the value of our programs to the world. We never know who we might impact. If it weren't for this blog, I would have never met Elizabeth Hutchinson, a librarian on the island of Guernsey. Elizabeth has connected with me, my school, our students, and our district's teacher librarians. These connections have brought change and showed the library program's value to our district's stakeholders. What might happen for you and your learning community if you share your library's stories on a blog or social media?

Libraries are about Relationships!

Nikki discussed how libraries are about relationships in her last keynote session. While books are important and we do have a literacy mission, the focus has moved to library as place. Our students deserve a sanctuary where they can feel safe... a place where they belong. They also deserve a space to collaborate and experiment with new technologies and makerspaces. Perhaps rather than worrying over getting new books processed immediately, we should be more concerned with meeting and knowing our student patrons. This point in her keynote really resonated with me. I've always thought if we take care of people, the rest will take care of itself. I think Nikki is dead on. If we want student patrons to visit our facilities, we need to build professional relationships with them. 

Who Will Advocate for Us?

The last point that stood out to me was when Nikki asked who would be our advocate if our job was on the line. She talked about a school librarian who was cut from her job in another state. The students in the school were in an uproar over this event and actually had a library "sit in". The librarian's job was saved as a result. Would something like that happen for each of us if our position was on the line? If not, what changes should we make to create strong advocates in our learning communities? 

Conclusion

This is just a small reflection of the ArASL 2016 conference. I learned about new YA fiction titles, tech tools, and more. While these are important, the points above resonated strongest to me. I'm going to make an effort to remember these concepts as I begin my 9th year in the school library. Join me by building your PLN, sharing shamelessly, focusing on relationships, and growing new advocates. If we make a concerted effort to do these things, 2016-2017 will be the best year ever. Let's do it, friends!

Microsoft Surface Adventures: Skype Translator

I'm very grateful to Microsoft for recently selecting me to be a Surface Expert. When I returned home from the Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert US Forum, a new Surface Pro 4 was waiting for me. I will be writing a series of blog posts this year sharing about my learning experiences with this new device. I can't wait to share what I learn with our learning community at Lakeside. In this post, I want to talk about my first activity with the new Surface this week. I connected with my friend, Àngels Soriano Sanchez, a teacher in Valencia, Spain. We used Skype Translator to communicate despite our language barrier (Spanish to English, etc). We decided to use Word Online to collaborate on this blog article to share our thoughts on this first experience. With tools like this, we can truly move toward the "schools without walls" concept and connect our students anywhere in the world.

First Impressions of the Surface 

It didn't take long for me to feel comfortable using the Surface right out of the box. The portable keyboard makes the device feel like a laptop. I've been a Windows user for many years, and the Windows 10 OS works great on the Surface. The touchscreen brings the functionality of a tablet to the experience. The Surface also comes with a pen for digital inking. I'm going to need more time to practice this feature. I look forward to learning more in the coming months.

Skype Translator 

I first connected with Àngels on Twitter last fall. We have been talking about connecting our students ever since that initial meeting. She told me about Skype Translator and how she used it to connect with others for real time translation. I have wanted to try this tool for nearly a year; and now that I have the new Surface, it was time to give it a go. You can visit the Windows App Store to find the free download link for Skype Translator. 

Our Connection: Stony's Perspective 

I was very impressed with the way Skype Translate performed. There is a bit of a lag in the translation, but it worked quite well. I spoke a bit slower than usual and tried to make sure that I used proper English. Àngels and I were having a conversation in just moments. We did notice a few problems in some of the translation, but overall the tool worked great! It was so good to see the excitement in her facial expressions as she shared plans for the coming school year with me. I also made sure to thank her for sending us her student created book trailers in Spanish this past year. Our students enjoyed watching them very much during library lunch programs. While we were talking, I shot a video clip with my iPhone and published it on Facebook and Twitter. Several colleagues shared their excitement about this technology in comments. I feel certain several of our teachers and students will want to experience Skype Translate in the coming months!

Click on the link above for to view a short video clip of our session. 

Our Connection: Àngels' Perspective 

From my point of view, Skype Translator is a powerful tool so that our students can get to know other cultures without the language barrier. In fact, you can facilitate the learning of them, since the simultaneous translation will help recognize both grammatical structures and vocabulary. This connection with Stony I liked, and it has made me very happy, since Stony is a virtual friend, we knew only through Email, and especially Twitter. The meeting, even in the distance and time difference, makes this world more united and connected.      

Next Steps: Àngels' 

The aim of using Skype Translator is so that our students can share reading experiences with other students of similar ages, as well as carry out exchanges of book trailer, or even small videos about news of the Center and its day to day. With connections can also better your skills in English, since they will have the possibility of having the grammatical structures and vocabulary. Share to grow, ultimately is the goal. 

Next Steps: Stony 

Already we are talking about using Skype Translator to connect  our advanced Spanish students with Àngels' students in Spain during 2016-2017. We are also discussing the possibility of using this to connect with one of our Spanish teacher's colleagues in Costa Rica. I plan to show this tool to teachers and students to inspire them to use it in the classroom to knock down barriers and connect Internationally.  I still feel we have only scratched the surface on what is possible for our learners. It is truly an exciting time to be a connected educator. Thank you, Àngels, for reaching out to us. You have inspired change at Lakeside High School!

My #AAIM2016 Conference Reflections

Each time I attend professional conferences, I come home overwhelmed with ideas. Hearing keynote speakers share their best practices while also issuing growth challenges is always thought provoking. This year, the Arkansas Association of Instructional Media (AAIM) Conference was held in Springdale, Arkansas. I want to share some of my most important takeaways from the conference.

Dr. Joyce Valenza

Dr. Valenza was the first keynote speaker of the conference. I have been following her on Twitter for many years; and it was great to hear her speak and meet her in person! Her first general session had many points that resonated with me. Her thoughts about our online presence being our "business card" was big! Here are some questions and thoughts that I'm still considering after her talk nearly a week ago:

• What footprint (business card) are we creating on social media?
• Our Twitter account/ feed is our new business card.
• What are we teaching students about this?

We are encouraged to talk to students about Internet safety, but how often do we teach them how to create a positive footprint? We talk to them about what not to post on social media, but do we tell them what they should post? How often do we model this for them? 

I have been working hard for several years to establish a digital footprint for our library program, but I rarely share these strategies with students. Valenza challenged us to help students create LinkedIn accounts with links to their best school work. I can't help but wonder, why I haven't already been doing this? I could write many more paragraphs about Dr. Valenza's sessions, but this was my biggest takeaway from her keynote. I need to do a better job of teaching and modeling social media presence to my students and teachers. 

Over the past two years, social media has impacted me in ways that I cannot even completely express in words. We are all being watched on social media, and our presence is our identity. A strong presence in a niche can provide many opportunities and connections. One thing I learned is that we never know who is reading our material and evidence. While visiting with Dr. Valenza and Jennifer LaGarde (aka Library Girl), they brought it to my attention that for every one person that comments on a blog, 100 other people may have viewed it. We need to share this with our learners and help them build an online presence!

The other part of this concept is that we need to consider building a strong social media presence for our school library programs. If we don't tell our stories on social media, how will people find out what we are doing for learners? Social media has helped our library program receive support from stakeholders. It has also helped us connect our learning community with distant places. We have only just begun to scratch the surface of possibilities. Dr. Valenza's presentations changed my thinking for my students and learning community.

I learned lots from Joyce Valenza!

Jennifer LaGarde (Library Girl)

I enjoyed Jennifer's keynote on the second day of the conference. She plainly stated there are two types of librarians: Zombies and Zombie Fighters! Her talk brought many best practices to the table. In an effort to be relevant to our learning communities, LaGarde urged the audience to be transparent. I love this concept! If we share our best practices on social media (wherever our users will see), imagine how this might change how people view school librarians. This is our opportunity to help change stereotypes. This can and will happen if we make an effort.

It was great to meet and visit with Jennifer!

I agree with Jennifer on working to "reimagine, redefine, reinvent, and remodel" all things library and librarian! This is not an impossible task. An example of this happened today when a parent came to spend some time in our facility. She had actually filled in for me earlier in the week when I was off campus attending the AAIM conference. She helped decorate for our 11th grade Great Gatsby collaboration yesterday. Today, while subbing in another building, she was reassigned to us to complete her day. This was very helpful since we held the Gatsby event today. She saw how hundreds of students came through the library facility and how it impacted them. At the end of the day, she shared how this changed her perception of the school library program. This parent is now a supporter of our library. She is a walking billboard that will tell our story to other parents and community members. Jennifer LaGarde said in her keynote that "everyone that comes in the library is a potential advocate". The parent visit today is proof of this statement. How many opportunities do we miss each week to grow more support for our programs? 

Jennifer said if we are not on Twitter by now, we are just being "stubborn". After witnessing the power of Twitter and being a connected educator since the summer of 2014, I agree with this statement. If we refuse to embrace these technologies, we are denying our learners many undiscovered opportunities. There are so many new connections awaiting us on Twitter. Without Twitter, I would have never met Elizabeth Hutchinson. Elizabeth is a librarian on the island of Guernsey which is located in the English Channel. Elizabeth arranged for us to have our first International Mystery Hangout with a school on the island of Alderney. Since then, we have connected with her two additional times (once for a professional development meeting and the other time was to connect with our primary school library). What other connections await our learning community?

A conference crowd contains endless potential for change!

Jennifer's message was heard by Arkansas' library media specialists. By the end of the week, the AAIM listserv was buzzing about Twitter. Librarians have been exchanging connections on social media and following each other. There has even been talk this week of establishing a monthly Twitter chat for Arkansas librarians. Ripples of change are flowing through our state. This is what should happen as a result of an inspiring conference experience. I have no doubt that these ripples will become great waves of change. Thank you Dr. Joyce Valenza and Jennifer LaGarde for challenging us to do a better job for our learning communities! I'll be reflecting on  AAIM 2016 for many months to come.
