Learn how to use the Creative Commons Licensing Tool to ensure that your are properly credited for your original work! What is the Creative Commons Licensing Tool and why would you need to use it? The Creative Commons Licensing Tool helps you create a license for your own original work, to include songs, videos, text of any kind, lessons, photos, etc.. It allows you to determine exactly how others may use your work, and ensures that you will be given credit for your hard work. There are a total of six different licenses! Please see one of the five below: According to CreativeCommons.org, "This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms."

As the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) - Vermont State Affiliate Assembly Delegate, I am charged with helping School Librarians across the State of Vermont learn about the National School Library Standards (NSLS) that were released in November, 2017.
To achieve this task, I will be presenting live across the state, presenting via webinars, creating an online class for school librarians, and have recently created an AASL Standards blog, where I will be continuously adding smaller pieces of information, in a progressive manner. If you are interested in learning more about these standards, please follow along via this link or click on the image below. Are You Interested In Coding? Learn From The Experts At NASA.

I recently attended a High School Scholar's Bowl competition. One of the participating students asked another, how they had acquired the knowledge to correctly answer so many of the questions...thus, ultimately winning the round. The answer was...reading books and listening to podcasts!
Today, I would like to share with you this great podcast search engine, called Listen Notes. The websites boasts that there are 421, 035 Podcasts and 23,118,712 Episodes available to choose from! Podcast tags can be seen in the image below. The tags/categories range from the Arts, Education, Games & Hobbies, to Science & Medicine, Society & Culture... and Technology. If you like to hunt, you will find podcasts on hunting, if you would like to learn a new language, you will find foreign language learning podcasts, or if you are a history buff, you might find this podcast interesting > How Stuff Works: Stuff You Missed in History Class. No matter what you are interested in learning more about, you will most likely be able to find it on Listen Notes. Why are podcasts a great learning tool? Podcasts are online narratives, that convey stories. These stories can affect us emotionally, which in turn, create deeper learning experiences for the listener. These deeper learning experiences can ultimately help us answer a variety of questions, as referenced above, at a Scholar's Bowl competition! Would you like to create your own podcast? See this article for more information. This is a great example of a podcast series, created by Brattleboro Union High School students, called Tracking The Tracks. If you have any questions, or would like to start creating your own podcast series, please email me: [email protected]. Happy New Year 2018! What is OER Commons?

Have a great Holiday break and a very Happy New Year 2018!
On Friday, December 8th, FHUHS Students participated in the Hour of Code. The Hour of Code is an annual, national event, where students are encouraged to learn how to code. Pictured below, students learn the coding language SNAP, to program The Finch Robot.
Please click on this link to see what students were doing across the state last week.
Please watch the video below to learn more about The Hour of Code.
Looking for a great way to spend time during the upcoming holiday break? Start reading books on the Recommended Reading List for College-Bound Students, compiled by The National Endowment for the Humanities. The list includes selections from the following genres: Fiction, Drama, Poetry, Non-Fiction and Autobiography, Government, Mythology, Folklore, and Fairytales, Religion and Philosophy.
As you will see, most of the books are classics! Many are already in the public domain, which means you will be able to access them online and at no cost. Please see the image of Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, below. Click on the image to access the eBook on the Hathi Trust Digital Library website. Please contact me ([email protected]), though, if you would prefer to read a physical copy of the book of your choice. This is the link to our library catalog. Many classics can also be accessed through this website, which also offers MP3 (audiobook) format for each selection! The Vermont School Library Association is highlighting our school library this month! To view the slideshow and read the article, please click here!
