IL- 21st-century learning
Ito, M., Baumer, S., Bittanti, M., Cody, R., Stephenson, B. H., Horst, H. A., ... & Perkel, D. (2009). Hanging out, messing around, and geeking out: Kids living and learning with new media. MIT press. Retrieved from https://dmlcentral.net/wp-content/uploads/files/Hanging_Out.pdf
In this book, the cowriters report on a three-year ethnographic study that explores how the social and recreational use of digital technology and social media provides a way to develop many of the 21st century skills of collaboration, creation culture, and self-directed learning. Reading this can provide ways which teachers and teacher librarians can harness the natural draw of technology and socializing towards instructional purposes. We must understand what motivates 21-century youths if we are to create learning environments that can direct their energy towards the fields and problems that face our world.

Very helpful starter kit for becoming a "connected educator"
Ramos, Tara
IL
Powerful Learning Practice. (2015). Connected educator starter kit. Retrieved from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38904447/connected-educator-month-starter-kit-2015.pdf
Summary: This tool kit was designed to accompany the activities surrounding Connected Educators Month in 2015. It provides an introduction to what a connected educator is and gives about thirty tools and ideas (one for each day os the month) that teachers can engage with to become more connected. Examples include tips on using Twitter, building your Personal Learning Network, collaborating online, blogging, Wikis and more! A favorite quote: "To become a connected educator, you must first become a connected learner.”
Evaluation: I found this kit to be extremely useful as a budding teacher librarian. It is exactly the introduction I needed to many tools and ideas that I have heard about surrounding 21st century learning and Web 2.0, but that have yet to become instrumental to my practice as an educator. Just reading through the suggested activities and engaging with several of them, I am seeing a whole new world open to me before my eyes. I highly recommend this kit to anyone who considers themselves to be at the beginning stages of becoming a 21st century educator.
