Mapping Literature: Integrating GIS and Reading 

“Using technology mapping tools, librarians, teachers, and students can easily create interactive digital maps that relate spatially to books, stories, and other readings. It has become easy to integrate the concepts of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as part of a reading activity. This strategy is multidisciplinary in its mix of reading with other subject areas such as geography, history, and science and it can be used to meet standards in technology and reading.”

Envisioning Standard 10

Standard 10
The student who contributes positively to the learning community and to society is information literate and seeks opportunities to use knowledge to create a more socially just and humane world.  

 "School librarians work for a better tomorrow every day. We ply our trade with young future leaders as if the world depended on it, and for good reason. With our current guidelines fixed firmly in view, let us together envision an information literacy standard that articulates that better tomorrow. What might that standard look like? Following the format of Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning, the Standard 10 that is envisioned here fits neatly into the last category of standards— Social Responsibility .” – Gail Bush 

 

 KQWeb begins a new feature with a special article from Suzy Rabbat, Library Director at the Olive-Mary Stitt School. Suzy participated in a global community project that embodies the spirit of Standard 10.
