Thing #15

Web 2.0, Library 2.0, and the future of libraries---The video was great. It reminds me of how different school is for our students. School and libraries must change to meet the needs of our future students, and we as educators must change, too. I feel that web 2.0 has all sorts of possibilities for our future world. We must make sure that our libraries change with the times, are inviting for students to come in to, and able to facilitate education. Technology is not just the future, it our present day reality. School libraries must become a relevant and vital part of that reality. Not just a place for the computer lab. Students and teachers must be taught how to use these new resources and how to weed out the bad sites and lock into the helpful sites.
