Classrooms for the Future

Hi friends,
With the Classrooms for the Future program funded and moving forward next year, how are you planning to shift your services and instruction? How are you working with one-to-one classrooms? How are you collaborating with your tech coach? How are you keeping up with the shifting infotech landscape?

Hi Joyce, Nice to see you at PETE&C. Good conference - lots to think about including how the school library fits into all this. Yes, I took the CFF training and have some successes to report in my building, but overall I see and hear things at a conference like this that are disturbing. We, as a profession, need to seriously become more proactive. Too many people seem to think Google can solve all research needs and the library is superfluous. It's frightening to think that soon the same info from the top 10 hits will just keep getting passed around as gospel. Original research may cease to exist. Besides "advertising" that libraries offer and organize copyrighted info in print and online, and that we teach kids searching strategies and how to use, evaluate and document info; we also need to trumpet our role in promoting literacy. I got a lot of great ideas from PETE&C, but also came away a bit depressed because of how marginalized school libraries seem to be becoming. You're the SLM guru, the standard others aspire to (whether you like that or not! :)) I was curious about your thoughts. ~Patty
