This past weekend, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) announced recipients of their 2012 Top 25 Best Websites for Teaching and Learning

Celly is truly honored to be selected as one of the Top 25 Websites! 

The awards were presented during the ALA 2012 Annual Conference in Anaheim, Calif. According to AASL, sites recognized as a Best Website for Teaching and Learning  display ”the qualities of innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration. They are free, Web-based sites that are user friendly and encourage a community of learners to explore and discover.” They also provide a foundation to support AASL’s Standards for the 21st-Century Learner. Here’s the criteria for Social Networking & Communication, the category that Celly is recognized for:

  • 3.1.2 Participate and collaborate as members of a social and intellectual network of learners.
  • 4.1.7 Use social networks and information tools to gather and share information.
  • 4.3.1 Participate in the social exchange of ideas, both electronically and in person.

This award is a huge deal for us as we are proud to help libraries. The Best Websites for Teaching and Learning list is based on feedback and nominations from AASL members. If you are a librarian or teacher, please keep in touch and continue to send us your ideas to improve Celly. We are listening and honored that you use our service. Thank you so much.
