1  How confident are you in describing the functions (outputs) of a dynamic and effective LIT program?  How confident are you in describing the connections of these functions (outputs) to student achievement? Business Items:  Annotated Bibliographies feedback: choices, citations  Quiz review  Scavenger Hunt points  Mike vids links  MyUW  Big6 Research http://youtu.be/JVEiNZuYgjQ

2 1. Which of the three functions of the LIT program is the most difficult to describe to others? Why? 2. What are some strategies for determining the right balance of these functions for a given building situation? 3. What is the best approach for teaching information literacy and technology skills? 4. How can higher-level thinking skills (e.g. Bloom's Taxonomy) be embedded into information literacy & technology instruction? 5. How do you feel about the ALA position statements on teacher- librarians, LIT programs, and reading? 6. How can advances in IT support all three functions of the LIT program?

3  Position 1: The Administrator  Position 2: The TL applicant
