At Empire High School in Vail, Ariz., students use computers provided by the school to get their lessons, do their homework and hear podcasts of their teachers’ science lectures.

Down the road, at Cienega High School, students who own laptops can register for “digital sections” of several English, history and science classes. And throughout the district, a Beyond Textbooks initiative encourages teachers to create — and share — lessons that incorporate their own PowerPoint presentations, along with videos and research materials they find by sifting through reliable Internet sites.

"Outlier" is a scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lie outside normal experience. In the summer, in Paris, we expect most days to be somewhere between warm and very hot. But imagine if you had a day in the middle of August where the temperature fell below freezing. That day would be outlier.

I'm a Teacher-Librarian, and since this is my site, it will focus on all the things I love: books, authors, information skills, research, and other cool techno-stuff that has become a huge part of libraries today.
One of my favorite characteristics of the education world is the willingness to help others by spreading useful information around. As a teacher and librarian for a few years, I've gathered some great information, and I'm getting great new stuff all the time from all over the place. I hope to spread some of it around. I also enjoy meeting new people and networking in the library, writing, education and technology worlds!
