• Finding ways to use web 2.0 applications to stimulate learning in collaborative digital apaces.
Questions:
What is the difference between academic computing and instructional computing?
What techniques can we use to gain access to web 2.0 applications in our schools?
How can we use iGoogle to get back in the information game?
How can RSS feeds be our ally?
What is a collaboratively built digital school library? How can we build one?
Administrators, faculty, parents, library media specialists, technology coordinators, and even students are still uncertain exactly what contribution technology should make to academic achievement. There are many conflicting voices. Our job is to try to sort through these voices and build a repertoire of ways we feel the most certain about.

How can school libraries optimize access to reading, yet give every single child/teen the opportunity and the encouragement to become literate? (two books a week with the potential of trading them at any time and "you can't have any more books when you have overdues - such rules don't cut it, folks). What do you do for the transient child, the child who does not handle materials well? The child who cannot pay fines or pay for lost books?
