Here goes . . .

I just attended the K-12 Online Conference — about a month after the fact (one very attractive feature of this type of conference) — and while there I viewed the presentation by Canadian teacher-librarians Carlene Walter and Donna DesRoches on using emerging technologies to promote teacher-librarian leadership.  The presentation was very interesting, most particularly for their repeated exhortation that librarians must retool to survive.  Take a look at the included video clip of a library from the mid-20th century and this will become painfully obvious!   I’m delighted to know about this conference and will share it with the teachers at our school.  As a consequence of being involved in this course, I’m as interested in how the organizers are using wikis, podcasts, Voice Thread, Flickr, creative commons licenses, tagging and so forth as I am in the conference content.  I think I have found a couple more blogs to subscribe to also.  Lots for me to think about here!
