Technology Post

Technology tools will become a part of everything we do: at work and at home. In order to keep up, it is imperative to, at least be aware of new technology tools. Technology tools are all around us. Even if you don't use social networking tools, I think it is important to expose yourself to them. To communicate with people in their 20's, they prefer Skype, IM, etc., and not email.

To teach to teens, you have to intetrate technology into the curriculum, to keep them engaged and interested in learning. Anymore, students almost expect to have these pieces included in their learning environment. In order to work with the Standards For The 21st-Century Learner from the American Assocation of School Librarians (AASL), media specialists not only rely on resources, but also technology tools in order to meet the needs of students today.

Essentially, technology is everywhere, and we better be a part of that scene!
