For anyone interested in sharing their experiences with technology integration professional development, the research team I am part of at Indiana University would love to hear about it! We are conducting a national study to investigate teachers’ and school technology leaders’ perceptions of the most effective technology-related professional development experiences. We would like to share these results with school districts and universities to help them offer more relevant technology-related professional development experiences. We want to hear about it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between!Specifically, we are interested in hearing about your own professional development (PD) needs for technology integration and your perceptions of effective technology professional development programs. We have created a short survey (5-10 minutes) to capture your perceptions and experiences. You can take the survey here: http://goo.gl/7baL7jFor your reference, the details about the study can be found in the Study Information Sheet found here: https://iu.box.com/ist-technology-integration.And if you have other inquiries, please feel free to contact myself or Dr. Anne Leftwich at any time.

This week I had the opportunity to attend my first EdCamp at Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center in Indianapolis. If you’re not familiar with their Google EdCamp, it’s an "unconference" which means that it’s participant driven, with conference attendants being in control of what sessions will be held and who will facilitate those sessions. For this particular EdCamp, there were three main "strands" that all the sessions fell under: Teachers; Technical Management; and Leadership and Planning. The day started with attendants telling the conference facilitators about the topics they were interested in learning about to help create the schedule for the day. Over the first 30-45 minutes of the day, the schedule began to take shape, and more and more people arrived with ideas on what they wanted to learn about. Then we were off! The ever-growing schedule for the day Session 1 | Blended Professional Development For the first session of the day, the focus was on how to create blended professional development sessions that combined the best of face-to-face time and online learning. The main idea that was reached between teachers, administrators, and tech coordinators, is that professional development generally works best when teachers have a choice not only in the material they're learning but in the delivery of that material as well. That being said, everyone also agreed that even when online/digital learning is a component of PD, it helps to bookend it with in-person face-to-face sessions as well, just so there is some actual human interaction that takes place and keeps things grounded and connected to the school.Some of the specific tools that were hit upon, and that people found useful were:Blogger: For teacher blog creation and reflection on PD activities and implementation.Voxer: Similar to Twitter but you can post voice messages instead of text.TodaysMeet: Create a virtual room to discuss, post, and share content.Slack: An "Email Killer" that covers all types of staff communication and collaboration. Google Classroom: The new(ish) LMS from Google, definitely worth checking out.In the end, we discussed the importance of sharing what we're using, what we've learned, and what works, rather than every school district having to reinvent PD all over again. In Indiana, the #INeLearn hashtag is great for that, but it'd be nice if there was something....... bigger picture. Check out Voxer! Session 2 | Google Apps for Education (GAFE) For session 2, I wanted to get a little more technical and see some behind the scenes of Wayne Township's setup. They're a pretty enormous district (over 10,000 devices total) and are also 1:1, primarily with Chromebooks. Since my only past experience has been with districts who only have laptop cards, or iPads for teachers, I was curious to see how a district of this size managed such an enormous technology load. We discussed Google's Education YouTube Channel, scanning for inappropriate language in student emails, and how they managed year-end changes (grouping students by graduation year, not by grade level, and students in 6th grade or under being in a "no email" group, since Google doesn't allow for those under 13 to have their own email address). But for me the most useful portion of this session was the specific tools they discussed which made network administration easier for a Chromebook district with so many devices:Google Apps Directory Sync - Automatically add, modify, and delete users.Google Apps Password Sync - Keep your users's passwords in sync with AD passwords.Dito GAM - Open source command line tool to manage domain & user settings.General Audit Tool - Awesome resource for audits and analytics. Session 3 | Chromebook Rollouts Session 3 was lead by Amy Borns and focused on the practicalities of rolling out Chromebooks. This session was a mix of IT staff, teachers, administrators, and tech coaches, and there was a ton of great ideas and discussions. Starting simple, schools have to make sure their infrastructure can actually handle a large number of devices that are going to be constantly online and sucking up bandwidth. In addition, the school's faculty has to have clear and specific policies in place for how they're going to handle every possible incident that can happen with Chromebooks (or any devices) in the classroom. Here are a few ideas:Milan Community School Corporation Chromebook PolicyTomahawk School District Chromebook Usage ContractOther ideas discussed were chargers (people liked the idea of students keeping their chargers at home and having a few extra chargers per classroom), behavior (cracking down on misbehavior quickly and early in the year so that students understood expectations), and professional development (a lot of Indiana schools use Five Star, but PD can be more relatable when it's done in-house).Some of the specific tools that were discussed were:Common Sense Media: Age appropriate lessons on digital citizenship.Hapara: Student management for Chromebooks.AmplifiedIT: Offering Google Apps for Education audits for best practice.Annotate.Net: Turn your PC or Tablet into a whiteboard.Dell P22T Chromebook: Everyone's new favorite Chromebook option.And one of my favorites that wasn't brought up is GoGuardian, which lets schools monitor, filter, and provide anti-theft solutions for Chromebooks.This session was also the source of my favorite quote of the day from Amy, "Kids don't know the technology that you want them to know." Which was aimed at the idea that just because we think students today have grown up with technology and are "digital natives," it doesn't necessarily mean that they know how to actually use any piece of technology that is set in front of them. The Dell P22T Courtesy of CNET Session 4 | Google Professional Development The final session of the day was led by the wonderfully enjoyable David Bagwell. It was essentially an immense sharing of useful links, resources, activities, and apps. So, let's just get down to it:Google Doc containing a TON of links and resources for all sorts of activities.Google Communities: Great for collaborative PD sessions.Flippity: Turn a Google Spreadsheet into flipcards, a quiz show, or other things!Draft Back: Watch the creation process of a student's essay.Monica Martinez: A great collection of resources for EVERYTHING Google. Use Flippity to turn Google Sheets into basically anything Odds & Ends Finally, in addition to the sessions I attended and a TON of others, Wayne Township also had an amazing Makerspace set up in their media center with a MakerBot, LittleBits, lessons on 3D photography, and much, much more. And if that wasn't enough they even provided games of cornholes in the cafeteria for those who needed a break from all the tech.It was a wonderful day and I cannot thank Wayne Township, Pete Just, and the rest of the district's tech team for putting on such a wonderful conference. LittleBits!

Nine Practices To Make Webinars Interactive and Effective
http://www.nancydixonblog.com/2015/04/nine-practices-to-make-webinars-interactive-and-effective.html
From Nancy Dixon
1. stream video of the speaker.
2. Devote a full time person to support and encourage chat.
3. Use breakout rooms for small group discussion of the topic.
4. Use an interview format instead of a "presentation," again as streaming video.
5. Invite people to attend because you need to hear their perspective on a critical issue under discussion - not just to listen.
6. Create two sets of slides, one for the webinar and one with detailed notes of what you said for dowloading.
7. Use the questions participants ask during the webinar to shape the on-going content of the webinar.
8. Create slides that have lots of pictures and color and minimize the use of words.
9. Keep changing things up; chat, polls, cartoons, video clips.
"We all need to learn how to use Webinars more effectively. They are an amazing technology with a huge potential for informing us, jointly creating knowledge, problem solving, and sharing what we have learned with each other."
"In coming post I will discuss, three types of Webinars, Broadcast, Breakout, and Problem Solving and outline the different techniques for each."
Watch for the whole series here:

9 Great Songs About Libraries, Librarians, and Books
http://bookriot.com/2015/04/16/9-great-songs-libraries-librarians-books/
From "National Library Week in the US, and in honor of that, I thought it’d be fun to round up some songs that are about libraries, librarians, or books. I’ve limited to songs that aren’t parodies or done by librarians to support libraries — these are songs from musicals, television, or from bands/singers you might be familiar with. But when you wrap up listening to these, do spend a little time digging into these awesome parody songs by librarians."

Abstract
This study sought to collect data from teens and librarians about their preferences and recommendations for the effective design of physical library spaces for teens. Librarians and teens at twenty-two U.S. public libraries filmed narrated video tours of their young adult (YA) public library spaces. The researchers used qualitative content analysis techniques to analyze the video data and to develop a framework for guiding the design of effective YA public library spaces. In addition to providing specific recommendations for user-centered YA library space design, this study highlights the need for continued user input into the design and maintenance of YA public library spaces as teens’ needs evolve and vary across time and from community to community.

New Full Text Report: "The State of the Humanities: Higher Education 2015″
Via Gary Price at FullTextReports
http://www.infodocket.com/2015/04/13/new-full-text-report-the-state-of-the-humanities-higher-education-2015/
"The State of the Humanities: Higher Education 2015 (24 pages; PDF) was released by the Humanities Indicators Project at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Special Note: Page 19 of the report includes a chart titled, "New North American Academic Books in Humanities Subjects, 2009-2012″ and the following text:
The humanities direct a larger amount of their research energies to the publication of book-length research than do other fields. Despite concerns about the state of humanities publishing in recent years, the number of new academic titles released annually in the humanities was slightly higher in North America in 2012 than in 2009, rising from 48,597 new books published to 51,789.
While the absolute number of new titles in the humanities increased from 2009 to 2012, the field’s share of all new academic titles published in North America contracted slightly, from 45% to 43%.
From a HIP News Release:
The new report provides a more balanced and evidenced-based depiction of the health of the humanities on college and university campuses. While exploring the key trend that has fed the story of decline in the field—a shrinking share of degrees at the baccalaureate level—the report also notes signs of improvement for the humanities fields, including evidence of rising interest in the humanities at the pre-baccalaureate level (evident in rising numbers of AP tests taken and community college degrees earned), increases (from low levels, in comparison to other fields) in funding, and steady numbers in the publication of new academic titles in the field.
Other recent findings in the Indicators:
From 1987 to 2013, the number of associate’s degrees conferred in academic disciplines classified by the Humanities Indicators as being within the humanities (e.g., "liberal arts" and "liberal studies" fields that generally require a disproportionate number of credits in humanities subjects) increased by an average of 4.3% each year, rising from 113,587 to 338,688.
As a share of four-year undergraduate degrees conferred, the humanities have been losing ground to other disciplines since 2007 (falling from 12.1% of new degree recipients to 10.4% in 2013.
The share of undergraduate degrees earned by humanities students at private not-for-profit colleges and universities—a traditional area of strength for the field—has been shrinking for two decades, and in 2013 reached the lowest point since at least 1987.
In 2013, charitable giving from foundations and individuals to arts, culture, and humanities organizations reached $16.7 billion; slightly below the record high of $16.8 billion given in 2007.
In 2014, average SAT scores on the verbal test fell near a historic lows, and the mean score for the relatively new SAT writing test scores hit its lowest point in 2014.
