Free e-book : From the Creative Minds of 21st Century Librarians

Related to the previous post with Joyce Valenza's example - and challenge - of 21st century school librarianship, here is a quote from another interesting resource :

"The challenge for teacher librarians is to figure out how to empower students to be 21st-century learners through our school library programs. Our best path to meet that challenge can be framed from the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi: “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” We must become 21st –century learners and teachers ourselves first."

From the Creative Minds of 21st Century Librarians
is a freely downloadable e-book (licenced under Creative Commons) from the US Centre for Digital Literacy at Syracuse University, School of Information Studies.

This compilation offers 60 freely available, high quality lesson plans, each of which addresses at least one of the 2008 AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner, including skills, dispositions, responsibilities and self-assessment strategies. Each lesson plan is organized within an attractive, color-coded, easy-to-follow template that provides a consistent format for succinct yet sufficiently detailed lesson plans, including links to all support materials.
