Look What We Did In 2021, Future Ready Librarians! A Special Thanks and Collection For YOU!
As we come to the end of 2021, I have been reflecting on so many things that have happened throughout the year. It's been a year filled with change, uncertainty and lots of sleepless nights, but also one filled with hope, innovation, togetherness and progression that will change the world of education and libraries forever.
One of the things I am most proud of is all of the work we did together as Future Ready Librarians. It's amazing to think back over the last twelve months and see how we supported one another, collaborated across the miles, shared endless ideas and resources, and became one special force that lead schools and communities across the nation.
There are so many things to be proud of as Future Ready Librarians, friends.
I want to thank each and every one of you for all that you do within your libraries, schools and communities face-to-face and virtually. Thank you for contributing your expertise, passion and knowledge to all of us and for making everyone better.
And thank you for all the friendships that were made. You all helped and inspired me. I am thankful to be part of such a special community.
You will find the Look What We Did In 2021, Future Ready Librarians! Collection by Destiny here. It is filled with the work we did together and lots of resources that will continue to guide us as we take our libraries, schools, teachers and students into the new year.

Join Us For The Upcoming Follett Webinar On January 12, 2022....Digital Tools and Apps, Essential Tools for Curriculum-Focused Teacher Librarians!
As teacher librarians, finding the right digital tools and apps to use within the library and classroom is one of the keys to our success as we work with students and teachers. As we discover and test digital tools and apps that support the curriculum and empower our students as creators, we illustrate in unique and engaging ways our expertise, and so much more – including our awareness of what students have learned and are passionate about.
In this webinar, join technology-centered Future Ready Librarian® Shannon McClintock Miller as she shares her box of essential tools for curriculum-focused teacher librarians. Shannon will share details about each tool and app, diving into examples she has used with her preschool to Grade 12 students. You will leave with a new toolbox of digital resources and apps, and you’ll feel inspired to use them as you support your teachers and students.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn how I support the library and technology program within her school through the ISTE and Computer Science Standards.
- Learn about several essential digital tools for apps and curriculum-focused teacher librarians within the categories of reading and learning, creation, collaboration, connecting experiences, and more.
- Hear how I uses this toolbox of digital tools and apps with her preschool to Grade 12 students.
- Be able to use and share the digital tools and apps with your school community using Collections by Destiny®, which I will discuss at the end of the webinar.
Day 20 of the 25 Days of Digital Tools and Apps from Future Ready Librarians® is Here, Friends...and Today, Learn About Scratch and Scratch Pals!

Here Is The "January Choice Board Poster"....Making Choice Boards Easy & Organized For All Students To Access & Use
I add each choice board as an image and link the choice board to that image. Under the image, I add a QR code that I make in QR Code Monkey for each choice board too.
Our teachers can share the monthly choice board posters in Seesaw and Google Classroom. This works great for our students at school and those learning at home.
We also print the posters so our students with iPads can scan the QR codes. This can also be projected on the screen in the classrooms for students to walk up to and scan.
For this month, I have created Our January Choice Boards poster that can be found here to share with your students and here to make edits and additions.
I hope you find these choice board posters helpful too.
