Keynote: The Feat of Reading: Insights from cognitive neuroscience

Reading is among the greatest achievements a student accomplishes. The feat of translating scribbles on a page to words and meaning offers readers the ability to expand their emotional, social, cognitive, and linguistic experiences. In this presentation, we will examine how the brain makes reading possible, how the brain differs in readers who struggle, and how the brain can change with effective instruction.

SOLer Power: Self Organized Learning in the Library

Limited Capacity seats available

In 1999, Dr. Sugata Mitra carved a hole in a wall of an Indian slum and installed a computer. In the months that followed, the children of the slum taught themselves to use the computer to satisfy their own natural curiosity. Since then, Dr. Mitra has developed an exciting approach to education that is well-suited to application in the school library. In this session, participants will learn more about Dr. Mitra’s work and will see examples of ways in which school librarians in Hawaii are encouraging collaboration and exploration by unleashing the power of Self Organized Learning in their libraries.

While I researched, designed & equipped my Makerspace, I kept hearing that voice in my head “If you build it, [they] will come.” And while a few curious teachers and eager students did come, most stayed away. Creating and filling the makerspace doesn’t guarantee a crowd. Instead, I’ve learned it’s what the makerspace offers and how I promote it that draws participation. Learn how to market and create programming for your makerspace that invites students, teachers and families to take ownership and get involved in your school’s makerspace.

Students who participate in reading challenges read 20% more than their peers and are more likely to agree with the statement "I like to read." Meanwhile, school communities that read together are more successful at building a culture of reading.

It will also introduce a new free service called Beanbright through which individual schools can choose different reading challenges to facilitate during the school year and summer. Beanbright provides ready-made reading challenges, tools to help students track independent reading and stay motivated to read, and a myriad of reports providing data-driven insights.

Collaborative Conversation: What's working in YOUR Makerspace?

Limited Capacity seats available

Last year Shannon Miller "wowed" us with amazing books & makerspace projects we could implement in our libraries. What did you try? Maybe you tested something out that you learned at the HASL conference, that you found on Pinterest or learned from a fellow librarian. Bring one or two ideas/projects that worked with your students. You might bring a sample project, share a link to photos/the lesson or just come to talk.
