Carolyn Jacobs, Senior Manager for Training and Professional Development at WGBH - PBS station will be sharing some fantastic, free resources with us to support Middle School Literacy. It is a special grant collection on PBS LearningMedia called Inspiring Middle School Literacy. Enhance the literacy skills of middle school students with this collection of online lessons for blended learning.

These online self-paced lessons for blended learning, funded by the Walmart Foundation, are designed to enhance the literacy skills of struggling readers in grades 5–8.  Each uses videos, interactive activities, note taking, reading, and writing to present students with an engaging science, social studies, mathematics, or English language arts topic.

Each lesson addresses a range of literacy strategies, which are listed in the accompanying teacher's guide.

Join Tracy Watanabe (Tech Integration Specialist and Instructional Coach), Jon Castelhano (Director of Technology) and a team of amazing 3rd grade teachers from Apache Junction, AZ to learn about the fantastic ways they are integrating technology and connecting globally in their classrooms.

Common Core learning standards, 21st century learning, global collaborations, and project-based learning (PBL) go hand-in-hand. During this webinar, we will present how the four of these complement each other in the classroom; and how the teacher, Common Core coach, Technology Integration Specialist, and Technology Director can nurture that 21st century, student-centered learning environment.

During this webinar, we'll explore the depth of the Common Core Reading, Writing, and Speaking and Listening Standards that takes place in 21st century learning, through the examples shared throughout the session. We'll also investigate the evidence of success through district-level data, learning artifacts, and student reflections.

Webinar participants will hear and share resources, ideas, and guides for how to build 21st century, student-centered classrooms that focus on learning standards. These solutions are replicable in other classrooms around the globe.

Cheryl Henson, daughter of Muppets founder Jim Henson, along with the Muppet' Workshop (and Kermit the Frog), shows kids how to make over 35 puppets using stuff from around the house-with a little help from the googly eyes, funny noses, feathers, and fuzzy fur included.There's Dixie Dragon (principle ingredient, a sock), Jughead (small plastic jar), Spidey Jones (old work glove), Metalmouth (bandage boxes), Princess Esterrilla (wooden spoon and chopsticks), and Pinky Roach (pink eraser). In addition, the authors show how to talk the puppet talk and walk the puppet walk, how to write a script and put on a show. It's a complete kit. Just add glue, and a little imagination.

Zoe Midler was our September Featured Teacher. She shared some of the awesome things she does as a teacher-librarian at Flagstaff Academy in Longmont, CO. She is also a Google Certified Teacher and is Flagstaff's Google Czar. We learned about what it means to be an embedded librarian and many ways Google apps can support collaboration.

About Zoe:
Zoe comes to academia from the corporate world, she worked in the high-tech field as a software product manager for Exelis, the makers of IDL and ENVI, Wolfram Research, the makers of Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, and Leopard Communications as a Senior Project Manager and Online Marketing Strategist.

Zoe is not a rocking chair librarian. She is a tireless evangelist for information literacy, contextually relevant collaboration, and embedded librarianship. She fosters an atmosphere in the library media center that encourages students to investigate and scrutinize all aspects of the information environment and become discerning consumers of technology and information. You can find her at http://zmidler.blogspot.com/
