So, I am sitting here at the TIE (Technology in Education) Pre-conference at Copper Mountain, contemplating all the really cool stuff that can happen in school libraries. Keynote speaker, Dr. David L. Loertscher, Professor, San Jose State University has gotten librarians all fired up about creating a Learning Commons. Chelmsford High School in Massachusetts took the leap. How engaged are your students anyway? Here’s a check list of things that make a library really pop. Still not convinced?

I was at the conference as well. Very exciting concept–but are we ready, willing, and able to fight the “status quo”?
The culture in our schools must change and we need to be in the forefront of this movement. Go Team Library! “Be the change you want to see in the world”.
