Today's lessons.

I have to admit I'm feeling a little bit like Dorothy right now - Twitter and Wikis and Nings, OH MY! (And she thought she had it bad with the lions and tigers and bears...) I guess because I'm more familiar with Google, all those "tricks" we learned about this morning didn't seem quite as intimidating as this afternoon's tools. The more I'm learning, the more I realize I have yet to learn. I just have to have the same attitude towards all this technology as the kids do, and embrace it. I can't wait to be able to use it all in a library!

Using blogs in the library.

Using blogs in the library can greatly increase the amount of learning that takes place in a student's day. But even more than that, it can increase staff's learning, as well. Imagine being able to see what students are thinking! Also, library blogs can be used to assist the librarian in collaborating with the classroom teachers across the curriculum. Test prep might actually become a genuine learning experience...The possibilities appear endless but it's up to us to start the process!
