Requests for Proposals for Community Grants As technology becomes more ingrained in our society, Best Buy knows it is increasingly necessary for youth to develop the 21st-century skills that will set them up for future career success.
Yet, we also know that a participation gap exists. Too many teens have little or no access to technology and, as a result, they fall behind their peers. As a company, and through our Best Buy Foundation, we are on a mission to provide teens with places and opportunities to develop technology skills that will inspire future education and career choices. We strive to leverage our local community presence, our technology resources and our talented employees to provide new and creative programs to serve our communities.

Why more schools aren’t teaching web literacy—and how they can start. Fourteen years after we first published ‘Teaching Zack to Think,’ here’s a new three-part framework for making sure students are internet savvy By Alan November and Brian MullRead more by Contributor May 8th, 2012 If you follow the dictate that we teach what we test, it’s understandable why schools haven’t spent more time preparing students to be web literate since NCLB was passed.
In 1998, a 15-year-old high school student used the personal website of a professor at Northwestern University, Arthur Butz, as justification for writing a history paper called “The Historic Myth of Concentration Camps.” That student, who we will call Zack, had been encouraged to use the internet for research, but he had not been taught to decode the meaning of the characters in a web address. When he read the web address, he assumed that the domain name “northwestern.edu” automatically meant it was a credible source. Copyright in a Copy Paste World. Libraries & the Internet Toolkit. Tips and Guidance for Managing and Communicating about the Internet The Internet is a rich and educational resource for information, ideas and entertainment.
No other medium provides us with so much information so easily. At the same time, the Internet has raised concerns about privacy and children's access to information. As the number one point of entry to the Internet outside of work, school or home, libraries, especially public libraries, address these concerns every day. The American Library Association (ALA) has produced this "toolkit" to assist librarians in managing the Internet and educating their public about how to use it effectively.

By: Kate Garnett How do general education classroom environments respond to individual differences and needs?
How readily do teachers alter their forms of classroom organization; how readily do they modify approaches? Common classroom conditions can and do affect many students adversely-to some degree, at one time or another, in one way or other-but, some students are especially vulnerable to classrooms' hazards (e.g., children of poverty, nonnative speakers, those with attention deficits). School of Education at Johns Hopkins University-Differentiated Instruction From a Librarian's Perspective. By Laura Grosvenor All teachers would agree that students come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of learning styles and working at a variety of different levels.
We agree that we should teach to each child's strengths and at the appropriate point on the continuum, but we also know that it is a gargantuan task that is not easy to accomplish. In fact, with all the current expectations being leveled by schools boards, parents, and school administration, just thinking about differentiating instruction is overwhelming. But wait, it's the teacher/librarian to the rescue. As a support person whose major function is collaborating with teachers, a teacher/librarian can serve to assist teachers in differentiating instruction in the reading program.
