AASL and ISTE Standards

AASL Standards provide structure and guidance while a curriculum is being developed that tailors to the local priorities and needs of a school/ library. These standards are integrated into the six foundations which are: Inquire, Include, Collaborate, Curate, Explore, and Engage. These standards are also broken down to target a particular group of people. Some standards focus on librarians, administrators, parent/guardians, or educators. Through these standards, students can be taught about how to use the above listed six foundations in order to investigate and discover answers.

The ISTE Standards was once known as the National Educational Technology Standards. These standards focused on using technology to help ensure student driven processes. The ISTE standards focuses on empowered learner, digital citizenship, knowledge constructor, innovative designer, computational thinker, creative communicator, and global collaborator. Technology has slowly become an important part of our world. As it is expanding and evolving,students must be prepared to adjust and become familiar with it in order to survive in the ever changing world.

Both the AASL and ISTE standards are important and a necessity when it comes to students learning. Teacher librarians should incorporate both standards into their teaching and collaborating with teachers and students. Technology is intertwined between both types of standards.Through students using the AASL Standards, they are also integrating the ISTE Standards. Both are needed in order to help students or patrons learn and grow.

HP Reveal... Augmented Reality... Changing Reality

According to Merriam- Webster, “Augmented reality is an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to overlay digital information on an image of something being viewed through a device (such as a smartphone camera).” It also states that augmented reality can also be the name of the technology used to generate/ create augmented reality. The first time that I saw augmented reality being used was on Snapchat, an online social media application. Then, when discovering HP Reveal (previously known as Aurasma), my eyes were opened to the possibilities of augmented reality being used and incorporated into not just the library but schools in general. HP Reveal is an amazing application that can be used on mobile devices to enhance learning. The HP Reveal Application can be downloaded onto your mobile device through Google Play or the AppStore for Apple users.

Cyberbullying

According to KSmith1203’s Digital Curation: Cyberbullying , there are four elements of this form of bullying and it is done digitally. Cyberbullying can consist of harmful, or hateful posts, tweets, images or images being shared and uploaded onto the web. Sadly, there is not a specific type of person who would become targeted in cyberbullying. Parents, children, teachers, athletes, doctors, a group of individuals, etc. can all be targets. Just like bullying, there are no specific reason for someone to cyberbully another. What stand out the most to me about cyberbullying, is the fact that once something is posted digitally, it is out there. For example, someone decides to email another person a mean and disrespectful email. Once that email is sent, it cannot be retracted.
