John Schu

He was a Teacher Librarian outside Illinois for nine years. He is the Ambassador of School Libraries for Scholastic.

He is obsessed with Kate DiCamillo.

The first thing he does is smell the books. 

Finding Winnie has a beautiful cover. This is the 2016 Caldecott award winner.

Third grade is when he introduces Amulet. There are six Amulet books. 

Louisiana El Fontaine in Raymie Ñightingale is probably the character closest to Kate Di Camillo

Little Elliot's Big City

People's Picks

The goal of  libraries is not to get the books back, but to get back readers.

Favorite Books

Beekle

Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo He carries it with him wherever he goes.

Kate DiCamillo didn't read Charlottes Web until she was 30 because she was afraid of what was going to happen to the pig.

It comes out April 12.

Pax by Sarah Pennypacker. This is his second favorite book. It alternates in perspective from Pax the fox and then Peter. It is a three hankie book.

Booked by Kwamie Alexander. It's more about books than soccer. It is dedicated to John Schu.

Check on the Scholastic Reading Summit - St. Charles, Ill.

Ballet Cat by Bob Shea excellent read aloud 

I got up and acted out this book with him and I won a copy of the book and the stuffed pig to bring back to Fremont-Mills!

Google Summit

Keynote - Joseph Du Fore "Our Technology, Our Brains, Our Future"

goo.gl/vjyrc

The future is here. We need to figure out how to navigate it.

More data is added every hour to YouTube than all of the info in the Library of Congress.

Every two years the speed of the bandwidth doubles.

What about over stimulation?

Students are getting the same  amount of face-to-face time as they always did, but now they never disconnect. Technology is wonderful, but it is not everything.  The brain, like any other muscle needs time to work hard, but it also needs time to relax.

For the last seventy years each generation is smarter than the previous one.

IQ is going up, but creativity is going down. 

Kids do so much better when they learn in the environment they are used to. Those students who spend 4-5 hours watching tv or playing video games should learn that way.

Must Haves

eLearning

Flipped Classroom

Session: 

iPad Class

How do productivity tools enhance student engagement?
1. It motivates students
2. It gives students choice.

Substitution - substitutes for an older tool with no change in task
Augmentation - it makes the same task easier or faster to accomplish
Modification- tasks are significantly redesigned for new educational goals
Redefinition - older tasks are replaced in part by newer tasks in order to achieve previously unattainable goals
Transformation -

Julia Cook

Author, Julia Cook came to visit us from Fremont, Nebraska. Julia was an elementary school counselor who wanted to find books for kids about real issues kids were facing. Julia couldn't find any books like that, so she wrote her own! Julia has now written over 45 books for children. In the book in the picture, Julia teaches us some ways not to lose our temper and turn into a soda pop head! Julia introduced us to her dog friends, Jake and Angus. Julia used the dogs to talk frankly to the students about "scoopers" who are strangers who pick up children. Some of our teachers are using Julia's books in the classroom. They are reminding them not to be a "tattle tongue" or let their "mouth be a volcano". The school bought an entire set of her books to use with students at school.

Julia told students, "Who is better to write a book for fourth graders, than a fourth grader?" Some students rose to the challenge and since then a group of students have been meeting together with a parent volunteer to write their own book. 

For more information, check Julia's website - www.juliacookonline.com. You can order books and see what Julia has been up to. Look for Julia's books in the FM Library.
