Learning to utilize web 2.0 technologies is important for media specialists. Learn some ways that media specialists can utilize social media tools to extend their library and fulfill AASL Standards for the 21st Century learner and Charlotte Danielson's Framework for the Library/Media Specialist.

1. Our students are
online ...
where are you?
Your Virtual
Library Presence
“Web 2.0 is an umbrella term that is used to refer to a new era of Web-enabled
applications that are built around user-generated or user-manipulated content, such as
wikis, blogs, podcasts, and social networking sites.”
-Pew Internet Research Project

2. Adolescents have been
called "digital natives," but
data suggests that they are
both comfortable with new
technologies and yet not
always as technically
savvy as we collectively
believe them to be.

3. It’s not about the building!
• Your library used to end at the door - now it encompasses the whole
world
• Mobile Devices have brought information to your fingertips
(literally)
• How will you learn and utilize tools to make you more effective?
• Social media does NOT have to be a monster!
• Gives you the ability to exchange ideas and information with other
media specialists all over the world. (Think vertical files)
• Great personal professional development opportunities.
• There are other media specialists out there who want to help. You are
not alone.
