Aahhh, it’s a new year with a promise for a new you. If you’re like me, you enter each year with plans to make changes in your life—maybe you want to lose weight or to spend more time with family and friends.
This year, I’m adding a new resolution to my bucket list. I’m going to challenge myself to read a wider variety of books this year and I challenge you to do the same!

Be skeptical consumers of information. That’s the message we need to get across to our students, especially in light of fake news reports across the web and social media, as well as from the mouths of our politicians. Even high-profile media outlets such as Facebook and the Washington Post recently have been accused of bamboozling the public with untruths. Who can we trust these days? Ourselves. Kellie and I are always on the hunt to discover new technology resources for teachers. We are excited to share with you the American Association of School Libraries (AASL) 2016 list for Best Apps and Websites for Teaching and Learning.
Who better to trust for a good book recommendation than school librarians? Here are a few must-read titles suggested to Barb and me by our counterparts at our high school librarians quarterly meeting last week. (As an aside, Barb hosted and showed off the ACHS Makerspace. She did a great job!)

Did you know as a teacher at Antioch High School you are eligible for an Antioch District Library card even if you don’t live in Antioch? All of us continue to look for ways to increase reading and writing in our classrooms — specifically, the use of non-fiction, informational texts. To that end, I thought you’d be interested to learn more about The New York Times Replica Edition.
If you are a NoodleTools user, this post applies to you. Over the summer, we transitioned to NoodleTools’s new single sign-on (SSO) authentication. This means that students and teachers, alike, will be able to use their Google username and password to access the program, which is most commonly used for developing Works Cited and Reference List pages for research assignments (but it has many other functions, too).
