*Who Trains the Trainers?*

A few weeks ago, while singing to my 6-month old son, I found myself trying
to remember the ultimate resolution to “Little Bunny Foo Foo.” *Little
Bunny Foo Foo*, the good fairy says, *I gave you three chances and now…
now…* I hesitated, “Well, buddy. I guess she turns him into a goon. That’s
what she kept saying she was going to do, right?” I simply could not
remember how to conclude this silly song.

I reached for his smartphone.

Yes, I am more than aware of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
guidelines
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enpr%2Eorg%2Fsections%2Fed%2F2016%2F01%2F06%2F461920593%2Fkids%2Dand%2Dscreen%2Dtime%2Da%2Dpeek%2Dat%2Dupcoming%2Dguidance>,
reiterated right around the time my son was born, in fact, that recommend no
screen time
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaap%2Eorg%2Fen%2Dus%2Fadvocacy%2Dand%2Dpolicy%2Faap%2Dhealth%2Dinitiatives%2FPages%2FMedia%2Dand%2DChildren%2Easpx%3F>
at all for children under the age of two. Yes, I did say, “his smartphone.”
It’s my old one, in an abuse-resistant case, on which I have loaded a
number of Fisher-Price and Sesame Wor
k
sh
o
p apps, a few kids’ e-books, and some apps that contain well-known
children’s songs, such as “Little Bunny Foo Foo.” He really likes the
animal sounds app that I think of as the digital equivalent of those old
toys where you pulled the string to hear “The cow says… ‘MOOOO!’” We don’t
play long. Perhaps half an hour or less a couple of days a week. But
screens are a part of my life and digital literacy will probably be as
important to my child’s future as the more conventional kind.

The AAP guidelines, while well-meaning, certainly do not mesh with how
I or indeed
many families in America
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emarketwatch%2Ecom%2Fvideo%2Fbabies%2Dyounger%2Dthan%2Dtwo%2Dare%2Dusing%2Dsmartphones%2F95B66936%2D7F1D%2D4C2E%2D93A1%2DE1A2790BA1FF%2Ehtml>
use digital media. Studies show that fully 97% of children have used a
digital device by the age of four. Most have started using them before the
age of 1 and these numbers are on the rise
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecommonsensemedia%2Eorg%2Fresearch%2Fzero%2Dto%2Deight%2Dchildrens%2Dmedia%2Duse%2Din%2Damerica%2D2013%2Fkey%2Dfinding%2D1%253A%2Dyoung%2Dkids%2527%2Dmobile%2Daccess%2Ddramatically%2Dhigher>.
Furthermore, as more and more schools become invested in being so-called
one-to-one
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fen%2Ewikipedia%2Eorg%2Fwiki%2FOne%5Fto%5Fone%5Fcomputing%5F%28education%29>
schools, issuing laptops or iPads to all their students, digital devices
become increasingly commonplace in every child’s landscape. Meanwhile, the
AAP, acknowledging the shifting nature of “screen time” in this world, has
even tempered their policy a bit, releasing the brief, Beyond ‘turn it off:
How to advise families on media use
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaappublications%2Eorg%2Fcontent%2F36%2F10%2F54>
.

So if the devices are out there, if digital literacy is really a necessary
skill in the modern world, and if parents need to know how to mediate their
children’s use, then is this where libraries step in? We have long
considered ourselves the place to support traditional literacy and most
seem to agree that we have a place in supporting digital literacy, as well.
In fact, in 2015 the Association for Library Service to Children adopted a
white paper on Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eala%2Eorg%2Falsc%2Fmediamentorship>
which calls for libraries to provide “Media Mentors” to help parents
navigate the digital world. Simply bolting an iPad to a kiosk, they affirm,
is not enough. We must be ready -- as we do with our storytimes, our
booklists, our summer reading programs, and a myriad of other methods – to
guide parents and children in how to use digital media, and what the most
appropriate digital media is.

To this end, the state library of Ohio is conducting six workshops
throughout the state on digital media for library staff serving youth,
intending to “train the trainers” -- that is, to provide you with training
that you can then use to train other library staff. These digital media
training days will focus on research and pedagogy, such as the 3 Cs
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ezhousestories%2Ecom%2Fwhat%2Dcan%2Dyou%2Dlearn%2Din%2Dlisa%2Dguernseys%2D13%2Dminute%2Dtedx%2Dtalk%2Don%2Dthe%2Dimpacts%2Dof%2Dscreen%2Dtime%2Don%2Dchildren%2F>
proposed by the New America Foundation’s Early Education Initiative
director Lisa Guernsey, the updated “Every Child Ready to Read”
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eeverychildreadytoread%2Eorg%2F>
guidelines and more, as well as provide practical tips for app evaluation
and digital media in storytime. The state library hopes that regional
systems will consider sending two librarians each who may return to their
libraries as Media Mentors, ready to train other library staff in the
effective use of digital media use in youth services.

Southwestern Ohio’s regional workshop will be on Friday, October 28th
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D831843>
from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Symmes Township Branch
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2634162&ymlink=49043938&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecincinnatilibrary%2Eorg%2Fbranches%2Fsymmes%2Ehtml>
of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County in Loveland, OH.
The event is free and lunch will not be provided, but time will be provided
for participants to eat. Consider registering for this event and help Ohio
become a leader in digital literacy by becoming one of our state’s Media
Mentors.

*An Ohio Digital Media Training Day*

Six regional training sessions will be offered throughout the State of
Ohio. Please consider sending two librarians who serve youth to a training
session. Keep in mind that these are train-the-trainer sessions. Whomever
you send to a training session will be expected to return and train the
staff of your library system. Through a train-the-trainer model, librarians
serving youth throughout the state will have the ability to act as Media
Mentors.

Project Outcomes

   - Learn the difference between using media passively and actively.
   - Increase understanding of how to use technology effectively during
   storytime.
   - Increase confidence in ability to speak to families and co-workers
   about new media.
   - Increase the number of trusted sources used for making technology and
   interactive media recommendations.

This project was made possible by the State Library of Ohio with federal
funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
