What's new on AASL eCOLLAB?
These webinars are now available as part of AASL's
professional development repository!
How to be a Ninja Warrior Filter Fighter! *
In honor of Banned Websites Awareness Day, this webinar focuses on how overly 
restrictive filtering of legitimate, educational websites and academically 
useful social networking tools affects student learning. Presenter Gwyneth Jones 
will also share what school librarians can do to fight this type of restrictive 
filtering in their schools.

Opening the Space: Libraries as a Site of Participatory Culture *
Andy Plemmons looks at the school library as a site of participatory culture 
through elements such as student book budgets, collaborative projects, 
opportunities for students to showcase their creations to others in a variety of 
ways, and students taking leadership in teaching one another how to use 
technology to create.

The Power of Data *
The Power of Data analyzes the types of data available to school librarians and 
how the data can be used to support school library programs. Dr. Sandra Andrews 
explores with participants a variety of datasets at the local, state, and 
national level that include information on schools and school libraries.

Wanted: Information Literacy Skills in a World of Google & Wikipedia *
The amount of information that has already been indexed online and the amount 
that is being added everyday is enough to overwhelm even the sharpest of 
researchers. Emily Gover discusses recent findings on the status of plagiarism, 
research methods and citation practices and cross-references these results with 
data pulled and analyzed directly from EasyBib.
