Free webinar, 4pm today: The Surveilled Child: Growing Up and Learning in the Age of Datafication
by Kristin Fontichiaro 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Hi - Today at 4pm, we're hosting a free webinar on the impacts of digital surveillance and datafication on childhood, presented by Jacksonville State University's Wendy Stephens: In the quest for smarter, faster, stronger learners, everyone from anxious parents to corporatized school systems seems to be exploring technologically-enabled instruction and data-based decision-making. But with facial recognition and behavioral analytics reaching critical levels, are we creating unalterable data representations of young people to their – and our own – detriment? This webinar will explore emerging data-related phenomena such as social cooling <https://www.socialcooling.com/>, steganographic approaches <https://publications.computer.org/computer-magazine/2018/11/15/how-steganog…>, and politicization of presence <https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/0198294158.001.0001/acprof-9…>, and identify key considerations for those who help young people negotiate privacy concerns face-to-face and online. Presented by Wendy Steadman Stephens, Assistant Professor, Jacksonville State University About Wendy <http://www.jsu.edu/education/edres/Stephens.html> <https://www.eventbrite.com/o/university-of-michigan-school-of-information-a…> Register for this and future webinars here <https://www.eventbrite.com/o/university-of-michigan-school-of-information-a…> .

Pickford Community Library Earns State and National Honors in 2019 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge
by Ann Marie Smith 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

PICKFORD COMMUNITY LIBRARY RANKED NUMBER ONE ORGANIZATION IN MICHIGAN, NUMBER TWO LIBRARY IN NATION 2019 SCHOLASTIC SUMMER READING CHALLENGE Pickford, MI -- The Pickford Community Library has reason to celebrate! Our local readers made it the Number One organization in the state of Michigan among schools, libraries, and civic organizations, and the Number Two Library in the United States in the 2019 <http://www.scholastic.com/summer> Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. Most importantly, the efforts of all readers worldwide led to the donation of 600,000 books to children in need. The Pickford Community Library coordinated and administrated the challenge for Pickford Public Schools, area homeschoolers, and participants from other Eastern Upper Peninsula schools. From May 6 to September 6, 179 area students read 381,097 minutes. In addition, the local community provided outstanding support for the library’s “piggyback rewards program” in which students earned in-house prizes all summer long. The Pickford Community Library will be featured in 2020 Scholastic Book of World Records for this nationwide honor and has received a commemorative plaque and a celebration kit to recognize student reading achievements. Students from all 50 states, two U.S. territories, and Washington, D.C., read 109,334,297 million minutes in the 2019 Challenge, a free, online summer reading program which aims to help students return to school reading-ready. It's designed to help kids turn the “summer slide” -- the learning loss which can occur over the summer months -- into a “summer leap” by discovering the power and joy of reading for fun. The complete list of Top Libraries, Top Community Partners, and “Best in State” schools is available at <https://www.scholastic.com/summer/home/> https://www.scholastic.com/summer/home/. For more information, contact Ann Marie Smith, Pickford Community Library Manager, at 906-647-1288 or <mailto:amsmith@uproc.lib.mi.us> amsmith(a)uproc.lib.mi.us.
