Selected AASL Fall Forum talks are now available on eCOLLAB.

Henry Jenkins (Opening Presentation)

Henry Jenkins shares his extensive expertise on participatory culture and help school librarians establish themselves as leaders when collaborating with teachers to plan and teach new media literacies to students. Jenkins directly engaged with attendees to develop strategies that effectively integrate these skills into subject areas across the curriculum and outline how to best use online social networking tools to reinforce student learning.

Kristin Fontichiaro

Kristin Fontichiaro worked with Fall Forum attendees to deconstruct the concept of transliteracy into smaller, more manageable facets. With Fontichiaro’s guidance, attendees built a definition of transliteracy and a supporting vocabulary that will help school librarians better connect curricula to the multimedia world of their students. She focused on the inquiry and rigor of assignments and how to collaboratively work with teachers to empower students with transliteracy skills.

Barbara Jansen

Barbara shares practices that she has used to promote a participatory school library program. She also shares strategies that start conversations with teachers about using new media tools and resources in rigorous and meaningful ways to build subject area knowledge while developing 21st century skills. Barbara’s presentation builds on the concepts and strategies presented by Henry Jenkins and Kristin Fontichiaro.
