Event Description

Article Discussion for April
Natasha Wanchek wrote in the article entitled, Library 2.0: Enter the Teacher Librarian Enthusiast, “This is an exciting time to be a K-12 school librarian. Five years have passed since the Library 2.0 concept was coined in a blog, but only in the last couple years have school libraries fully started to embrace social networking and other 2.0 tools. For the advocates--many of whom are connected by learning networks--the enthusiasm for incorporating new technologies is palpable.” Joyce Valenza is referenced in this article as saying, “This is the beginning of a tide that changes everything we know about teaching and learning…”
For those of us who are excited about incorporating new technologies and riding the tide, this article provides a plethora of ideas that prompts a great deal of reflection. Read the article and then come join the discussion of the article in the ISTE SIGMS Ning discussion forum. We have highlighted some quotes from Joyce Valenza, Doug Johnson, David Loertscher and Natasha Wanchek to help get the discussion started.
