MY FUTURE VISION: SCHOOL LIBRARY 2.0

by Theresa Hafeli

You go into the restaurants of a town and you see people with hungry stomachs, but you go into the library of the same town and you will see hungry brains feasting upon their favorites. There are all too few libraries, and far too many restaurants. People should eat less and think more. -- Matthew Adams

ELEMENTS of my vision:

TECHNOLOGY

LITERACY

LEADERSHIP

A new leader has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and vision less ... someone's got to make a wake up call.

--Warren Bennis

A new leader...

Final thoughts...

So teachers will not only have to think again about how, where and with whom students learn but also how that learning is evaluated. Simultaneously, theyre going to have to keep pace with emerging technologies and rethink exactly what it is that teachers can do to ensure that the networked generation gets more from education than a symphony of wows and yuks.
