Nuggets of Genius from the 2019 AASL Conference
In November I had the opportunity to attend the AASL (American Association of School Librarians) conference in Louisville, KY. This conference happens every two years and this was my second time attending. Whenever I go to a conference, I like to share one or two nuggets of genius.
One session was particularly useful and adaptable so I knew I wanted to share it with you all. Carolyn Allen and Julie Jamieson, both elementary teacher-librarians from the St. Louis area, presented a session titled “Show Me” Readers, Makers, Explorers, & Innovators."
This session was all about creating blended library lessons using hyperdocs. Hyperdocs is the way to go when you’re looking to flip a classroom or build in multiple literacies or get more of the standards covered. And, chances are, some of you have already built a Hyperdoc in a Google Doc or a Google Slideshow and didn't even realize there was a word for it. Read more about hyperdocs.
Using the Hyperdocs model, Allen and Jamieson worked cooperatively to build multi-dimensional lessons based on their state's award books called the Show Me Awards. They're freely sharing their work so be sure to check out their slideshow. It's filled with so many handy links and full lessons!
Both librarians reiterated over and over again that they believe in sharing for the good of the cause so... go ahead, dig in, and adapt for all grade levels!
