TRANSFORMING SCHOOL LIBRARIES
CEU COURSE OVERVIEW
In today’s information-rich society, with the Internet at our fingertips, students and teachers no longer need a library for access to information. But that doesn’t mean school libraries have become irrelevant. On the contrary, it can be argued that school libraries are more important than ever, as they serve as a focal point for helping students and teachers understand and make meaning from all the information they find online. This presentation aims to help K-12 leaders understand the implications of this shift and how it affects the design process.
