Welcome to Liquid Literacy!

Liquid Literacy is a blog for educators and all who seek mastery of the new competencies required for navigating the information universe, in both print and digital formats. It is where I share my experiences as a teacher librarian engaged with K-8 students and faculty creating, using and accessing information of all kinds. The blog features reviews of applications, actual lessons, product demonstrations, and lots more. Why liquid? Information media are no longer solid state--but exist in a fluid world where changes in technology have profoundly affected the nature of how we seek, retrieve, evaluate, create and share information. This blog explores topics in three general areas relevant to students in a K-8 environment:
  1. Liquid literacy:  The competencies necessary for accessing and evaluating the information universe.
  2. Liquid library: An exploration of print and digital media resources.
  3. Liquid learning: The use of technology tools for learning not bounded by library walls.
