COVID-19 has changed what Fall 2020 will look like for all us. Attend a meeting of Eastern Suffolk BOCES SLS & Suffolk Public Librarians. At this virtual meeting, librarians can share ideas about how they have been handling the pandemic, what their fall will look like, and how to better support each other during this new school year.
This event was not recorded.
This year's Long Island School Library System’s Regional Institute will be held on November 3, 2020 ~ 12:30 – 3:30 pm ~ Remote via Zoom.
The theme for the institute is “Rx for an Infodemic: Developing Habits of Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum”. This dynamic online half-day workshop will give librarians the inspiration, theory, models and resources for integrating critical thinking about all media messages into your work with students and teachers through synchronous, asynchronous and face-to-face instruction. After looking at the role of media in presidential elections, the roots of our current information crisis, and research into how students assess truth claims in the media, we will work with a practical methodology for teaching habits of questioning and metacognition. We will review resources including 500+ lessons for integrating constructivist media decoding into diverse subject areas at all grade levels.
The presenters, Cyndy Scheibe and Chris Sperry, are the founders of “Project Look Sharp” and global leaders in media literacy integration into K-12 education.
In conjunction with Nassau BOCES School Library System, this will be an open forum to discuss how OverDrive/SORA is being used, provide some help and support in using OverDrive/SORA, and a chance to share. The open discussion will be led by Jean Marie Johnson, SLMS, Oceanside UFSD, and Theresa Osso, SLMS, Malverne UFSD with an OverDrive/SORA directed Q&A to follow.
