Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

085. "Book Musical Chairs" with Lauren Popp
Q: So how did you end up getting into school librarianship in the first place?
Lauren explains a long journey from journalism and internships to volunteering with Treehouse Books, joining Rutgers's program, and becoming one of the two full-time certified librarians in the district; she emphasizes the importance of professional networks and advocacy groups in finding and pursuing librarianship.
067. "Helping Students License Their Artwork" with Rachel Grover
Q: What have you seen as outcomes or impact in your students?
Students begin to reflect on ownership of their artwork, consider credit and permissions, and sometimes apply what they learn to other classes, showing increased awareness of intellectual property and responsible sharing.
067. "Helping Students License Their Artwork" with Rachel Grover
Q: How do you introduce Creative Commons to middle schoolers?
By presenting it as choices about permissions and attribution, using visuals and classroom language to explain licenses, public domain, and copyright, and giving students hands-on activities with the license chooser tool.
067. "Helping Students License Their Artwork" with Rachel Grover
Q: What was the genesis of the idea to have students license their artwork?
The approach grew from addressing how students were using images from Google without credit and recognizing the need to give artists proper credit, which evolved into teaching licensing concepts like Creative Commons to empower students.
078. DIY Librarianship: Turning the Tables, with Guest Host Rain Smith
Q: What advice would you give to other librarians considering a DIY approach?
Start small, document progress, involve administrators early, and view mistakes as learning opportunities. Maintain hands-on engagement with students and let the evolving space reflect the library's purpose and the community's needs.
