Two Podcasts Created By and For School Librarians. If you had asked me about podcasts a year ago, I would have told you that I had tried listening to a few, but had never gotten hooked on one.
I simply preferred listening to audiobooks and music. However, that changed in early 2019, when, thanks to my PLN, I stumbled across two podcasts created by and for school librarians: School Librarians United with Amy Hermon and Checked In: A MASL Podcast with Ethan Evans. Now I regularly listen to both of them. These podcasts keep me connected to school librarianship in a way that’s convenient and engaging.
Europe Could Produce Enough Wind Farm Energy to Power the Whole World for 30 Years, New Study Shows. This exciting new data says that Europe has the capacity to produce more than 100 times the amount of energy it currently produces through onshore windfarms.
In an analysis of all suitable sites for onshore wind farms, the new study from the University of Sussex and Aarhus University reveals that Europe has the potential to supply enough energy for the whole world until 2050.

McMindfulness by Ronald Purser; Mindfulness by Christina Feldman and Willem Kuyken – review. In a frequently quoted passage, the American professor of medicine Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as “a way of being in a wise and purposeful relationship with one’s experience… cultivated by systematically exercising one’s capacity for paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally”.

What Can We Tell About Meghan Markle's Political Opinions From Her Vogue Cover. In the biggest fashion industry news since the passing of Karl Lagerfeld, Meghan Markle has co guest edited the September issue of British Vogue.

Royals aren't supposed to express political opinions, but in putting a group of left-leaning feminist women on the cover of the magazine, we get a peak into what Meghan's political opinions might be.

Why Writing Sucks and We Need to Talk About It. Six years ago, I wrote a piece on here called, Why Reading Sucks and It’s Ok to Talk About It.
It has shaped my work ever since. It has become a defining feature of what I believe in when it comes to the work we help students do in our year of reading together. The need to focus on the emotions and experiences that a child carries with them when it comes to the act of reading, the need to validate them wherever they are on their journey in order to, hopefully, help them shape their journey in a more purposeful way.

Epic!: Read Amazing Children's Books Online - Unlimited Access to the Best Books and Learning Videos For Kids 12 and Under. Google’s new media literacy program teaches kids how to spot disinformation and fake news. Google announced this morning it’s expanding its two-year-old digital safety and citizenship curriculum for children, “Be Internet Awesome,” to now include media literacy — specifically, the ability to identify so-called “fake news” and other false content. The company is launching six new media literacy activities for the curriculum that will help teach kids things like how to avoid a phishing attack, what bots are, how to verify that information is credible, how to evaluate sources, how to identify disinformation online, spot fake URLs, and more.
The new media literacy classes — which frankly, some adults should read through as well — were developed in collaboration with Anne Collier, executive director of The Net Safety Collaborative, and Faith Rogow, Ph.D., co-author of The Teacher’s Guide to Media Literacy and a co-founder of the National Association for Media Literacy Education.
