[LM_NET] GEN: New AASL Standards wiki

[Barbara Jansen <bjansen@SASAUSTIN.ORG>]

Launched at its annual conference in October, AASL's new standards are not
our mother's information skills objectives. [

These sophisticated standards will help ensure that our students enter
college and the workplace with the skills and attitudes to succeed.
Interpreting a few of the standards may prove somewhat of a challenge.
Let's work together to suggest explanations, strategies, links, tools, and
anything else to help us integrate the standards into our students' course
of study and extracurricular lives. I have set up a wiki so that we can do
just that. Study the standards and see what you can add to help others
connect and use them successfully. The wiki is available [

(If you are editing, the password is learner. Also, you you may need to
click on the sidebar tab to see all the standards links).
Twenty six librarians at the Hill Country Librarian's Conference in Austin
worked during a very short session to offer some suggestions. Other
library media specialists are already adding ideas. It may also be fun if
we get together in groups to work on it during the summer or
conferences/meetings. Of course, you can work on it in the privacy of your
own home in your PJs, also!
        I think among us we can make a full brain on this thing! :)

Thank you,
Barb
