Hello, friends and colleagues. I am trying to find out how BYOD/BYOT/1:1 mobile-learning (m-learning) implementation on the campus level is affecting the school library. If your school or district is piloting or has implemented bring your own device/technology or 1:1 laptop usage, how has it affected the library program?

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Jessica,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
