Learner's first

Just came across a blog post from Tom Whitby that I felt I really needed to share ..

Here's a quote ... "As educators we must be learners first. If we are to be better educators, we must first be better learners. We may not always have a choice in what we learn."

Lot of energy and excitement.

Partnerships

I'm at the ISTE conference in San Diego - attending the affiliate assembly which is a get together of all the state and regional groups that are affiliate members of the larger organization. A panel discussion is talking about the value of partnerships for organizations such as ours. In so many ways, this has to be at the core of what we do as school librarians. We need to partner with obvious people like teachers and administrators and students to help all them learn. But we especially need to find ways to partner with others beyond our normal allies to work together for mutual benefit.
